Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 50, backed by high-efficacy UVB absorbers including Octinoxate, Octocrylene, and Octisalate.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone provides peak absorption at 357 nm for UVA I, while Oxybenzone and Octocrylene bridge the UVA II gap from 315 to 340 nm.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer provides emulsion stability and mild film-forming properties, but dedicated waterproofing agents like silicones or specialized waxes are absent.
Photo Stability
Poor
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that Octinoxate accelerates the photodegradation of Avobenzone, compromising UV protection when formulated together.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
The ingredient list lacks iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499); included mica and titanium dioxide serve only as cosmetic shimmer.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological patch test data shows high rates of allergic contact dermatitis associated with both MCI/MI and oxybenzone in leave-on products.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological research and clinical assays consistently rate Isopropyl Myristate as highly comedogenic (4-5/5) due to its ability to penetrate follicles and induce hyperkeratinization.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Titanium dioxide bound to synthetic mica acts as a light-diffusing pigment to create a luminous finish, not an opaque white block (Int J Cosmet Sci).
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate, Octocrylene, Octisalate, Avobenzone, and Oxybenzone Broad Spectrum UV
Multiple studies confirm oxybenzone and octinoxate possess estrogenic activity and cause hormonal interference at standard concentrations.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Isopropyl Myristate Emollient
Consistently rated very high on the comedogenic scale meaning it frequently causes pore blockages and triggers breakouts in acne prone individuals [1.4].
Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-100 Stearate Emulsifier
Polyethylene glycol compounds may contain trace amounts of 1 4 dioxane which is a probable carcinogen as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process [1.8].
Fragrance Fragrance

Synthetic Fluorophlogopite and Titanium Dioxide Colorant
Titanium dioxide is classified as a suspected carcinogen when inhaled in loose powder or aerosolized spray forms, though it is considered safe in typical sunscreens and lotions.
Mica and Titanium Dioxide Colorant
Contains titanium dioxide, which is classified as a possible human carcinogen when airborne and inhaled in powder or spray forms, though it is considered safe in creams and lotions [2].
DMDM Hydantoin and Methylchloroisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone Preservative
Methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone are potent sensitizers strongly linked to allergic contact dermatitis and this risk is compounded by the addition of a formaldehyde releaser.
Triethanolamine pH Adjuster
May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.
Disodium EDTA Chelating Agent
Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
