Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50+, which is corroborated by the presence of multiple broad-spectrum and UVB filters positioned prominently in the active ingredients.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
The inclusion of Mexoryl 400 specifically targets the ultra-long UVA I range (peaking at 385 nm), providing exceptional depth of coverage where most sunscreens fail.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The presence of C12-22 Alkyl Acrylate/Hydroxyethylacrylate Copolymer provides functional water-resistant infrastructure, though unverified by stated testing claims.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that Bemotrizinol (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) effectively acts as a triplet-state quencher to prevent Avobenzone's photodegradation.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
The ingredient list contains zero iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or non-nano pigmentary minerals.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature extensively documents that high concentrations of short-chain volatile alcohols significantly increase transepidermal water loss and irritation potential.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle ingredients (water, denatured alcohol, diisopropyl sebacate) at 0/5, with only tocopherol and triethanolamine carrying a low 2/5 rating at the bottom of the ingredient list.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Organic filters such as Bemotrizinol, Avobenzone, and Mexoryl 400 operate by absorbing rather than reflecting visible light, preventing ashiness on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octisalate UVB
Clinical trials demonstrate systemic absorption into the bloodstream exceeding the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Ethylhexyl Triazone UVB
Currently not approved by the United States FDA for use in sunscreens though it is widely approved in the EU and other global markets.
Avobenzone UVA I / UVA II
Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.
Methoxypropylamino Cyclohexenylidene Ethoxyethylcyanoacetate UVA I
Emerging case reports document rare instances of severe allergic contact dermatitis following topical application [1.1].
Drometrizole Trisiloxane Broad Spectrum UV
Approved up to 15 percent in the EU and other regions but remains unapproved by the US FDA for over the counter sunscreens due to administrative delays
Key Inactive Ingredients
Denatured Alcohol Solvent
Can strip natural lipids and disrupt the skin moisture barrier which may lead to dryness and contact dermatitis in sensitive skin types [1.5].
Caprylyl Glycol Preservative
Generally well tolerated and considered safe for most skin types though rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been documented [2.1].
Triethanolamine pH Adjuster
May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.
