Performance Scores
SPF Level
Fair
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 30, corroborated by multiple high-efficacy UVB-absorbing filters positioned prominently in the ingredient list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus) provide continuous, highly effective absorption across the critical 315-400 nm UVA range.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The ingredient list contains only water-soluble components and standard emulsifiers (e.g., Macrogol Cetostearyl Ether) without dedicated water-proofing agents.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) is inherently photostable and acts as an effective stabilizer for less stable filters like Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade non-white minerals in the provided ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Modern UV filters like Bemotrizinol and DHHB show exceptionally low rates of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis in clinical patch testing.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological reference scales evaluate Ceteareth-20 as mildly comedogenic (2/5) on its own, completely avoiding the severe 4/5 pore-clogging synergism that only occurs when it is co-formulated with cetearyl alcohol.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Moderate concentrations of un-tinted titanium dioxide predictably scatter visible light, causing an ashy residue on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin (J Am Acad Dermatol).
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Titanium Dioxide UVB / UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe
Key Inactive Ingredients
Macrogol Cetostearyl Ether Emulsifier
As an ethoxylated compound it may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide which are potential carcinogens linked to the manufacturing process.
