Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, mapping directly to a score of 5 on the standardized performance scale.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Oxybenzone peaks at 325 nm (UVA II), effectively complementing Avobenzone's peak absorption around 357 nm (UVA I) to provide continuous broad-spectrum coverage.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Acrylates Copolymer (at position 6) and silicones provide a hydrophobic, film-forming matrix, but the product lacks a verified 40- or 80-minute water resistance claim.
Photo Stability
Fair
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature indicates that liposomal encapsulation using phospholipids mitigates the direct interaction and subsequent photodegradation of Avobenzone and Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or non-nano physical filters in the provided ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Clinical studies frequently cite benzophenone-3 as the most common chemical UV filter responsible for photoallergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales consistently rate dimethicone, phenyl trimethicone, and chemical UV filters at 0/5, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride at 1/5, and cetearyl alcohol at 2/5.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Chemical UV absorbers lack the particulate light-scattering properties of metal oxide filters that cause visible white residue.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, and Phospholipids Broad Spectrum UV
Oxybenzone and octinoxate are widely documented to disrupt hormonal systems and exhibit estrogenic activity [1].
Key Inactive Ingredients
Phenyl Trimethicone Emollient
May contain trace amounts of cyclic siloxanes (such as D4 and D5) from the manufacturing process, which are restricted in the EU due to environmental bioaccumulation concerns [2.7].
Acrylates Copolymer Film Former
May contain trace amounts of residual unreacted monomers, such as acrylic acid, though manufacturing processes regulate these to remain well below irritating levels in finished cosmetics [3].
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
