Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Product explicitly claims SPF 60, corroborated by the prominent presence of Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150), which has extremely high UVB absorbance peaking at 314 nm.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Uvinul A Plus provides dedicated deep UVA I coverage with a peak at 354 nm, perfectly complementing Tinosorb S which spans 280-400 nm to seal any spectrum gaps.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Contains ingredients like Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer and Acacia Senegal Gum, which provide film-forming viscosity but are not dedicated hydrophobic waterproofing polymers.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Photobiology literature confirms that Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, and Uvinul T 150 are among the most photostable UV filters available, resisting UV-induced degradation without requiring secondary stabilizers.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) in the ingredients, and the included Titanium Dioxide is explicitly listed as nano (transparent).
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical data supports the excellent tolerability of modern filters like Tinosorb S and Uvinul A Plus even on compromised skin barriers.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle ingredients (isododecane, diisopropyl sebacate) at 0/5, with no ingredient in the formulation exceeding a 2/5 rating.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Nano-particulate titanium dioxide mitigates visible light scattering and white cast compared to non-nano variants while maintaining UV reflectance.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Uvinul A Plus UVA II / UVA I
Not approved by the US FDA as a sunscreen active and subject to strict EU impurity limits for the reproductive toxicant di n hexyl phthalate.
Uvinul T 150 UVB
Not approved by the US FDA for use as an active sunscreen ingredient but is widely approved in the EU and other regions up to 5 percent.
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
Tinosorb S Broad Spectrum UV
Generally well tolerated but recent dermatological case reports identify it as a rare emerging contact allergen.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Nylon-12 Sensory Modifier
Subject to EU REACH restrictions on intentionally added synthetic polymer microparticles, which mandate a gradual phase out in cosmetics to reduce environmental accumulation.
PEG 100-Stearate Emulsifier
PEG compounds may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are potential carcinogens, as byproducts of the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Milk Thistle Extract Skin Conditioning
May occasionally cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions, particularly in individuals with known hypersensitivities to plants in the Asteraceae family such as ragweed and daisies [1.3].
Arachidyl Glucoside Emulsifier
While generally considered mild and safe, alkyl glucosides can occasionally cause allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals.
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Recognized as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in leave-on cosmetic products.
