Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50+, which is strongly corroborated by the prominent presence of UVB filters including Octinoxate, Iscotrizinol, and Titanium Dioxide.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Bemotrizinol (peak 345 nm) and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (peak 354 nm) provide highly stable, overlapping protection deep into the critical UVA I range (340-400 nm).
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Ingredients such as Dimethicone and Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone/Phenylsilsesquioxane Crosspolymer function as water-resistant film formers, but their durability remains unverified by standardized testing.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Peer-reviewed photobiology research confirms that Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) effectively quenches the excited state of older filters like Octinoxate, preventing their UV-induced degradation.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
The ingredient list contains zero iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and no non-nano physical blockers designated for visible light attenuation.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Silicones and large-molecule UV filters (Bemotrizinol, DHHB) are widely documented in dermatological literature as non-irritating to intact skin.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle ingredients (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone crosspolymers) and active UV filters at 0/5, with minor ingredients like octyldodecanol and talc rated only 1/5.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Moderate concentrations of un-tinted titanium dioxide without documented nano-technology consistently produce visible reflectance on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin.
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
Cyclopentasiloxane Emollient
The European Union is restricting this ingredient to a maximum concentration of one tenth of a percent in leave on cosmetics effective June 2027.
Talc Sensory Modifier
Talc deposits often coexist with asbestos leading to a high risk of cross contamination with this known human carcinogen if not rigorously tested.
