Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

Label claims SPF 50, backed by high-efficacy UVB absorbers including Octinoxate, Octocrylene, and Octisalate.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

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

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

Cosmetic science literature confirms that Octinoxate accelerates the photodegradation of Avobenzone, compromising UV protection when formulated together.

Visible Light

Poor

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

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

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

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).

Multiple studies confirm oxybenzone and octinoxate possess estrogenic activity and cause hormonal interference at standard concentrations.

Key Inactive Ingredients

Water WaterSolvent
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Fatty Acid EsterEmollient
Glycerin GlycerinHumectant
Isopropyl Myristate Fatty Acid EsterEmollient

Consistently rated very high on the comedogenic scale meaning it frequently causes pore blockages and triggers breakouts in acne prone individuals [1.4].

Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic AcidHumectant
Vitamin C VitaminAntioxidant
Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-100 Stearate NonionicEmulsifier

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 SyntheticFragrance

Synthetic Fluorophlogopite and Titanium Dioxide PigmentColorant

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 MineralColorant

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 MultifunctionalPreservative

Methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone are potent sensitizers strongly linked to allergic contact dermatitis and this risk is compounded by the addition of a formaldehyde releaser.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer PolymericThickener
Triethanolamine BasepH Adjuster

May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.

Disodium EDTA EDTAChelating Agent

Poorly biodegradable in the environment and can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems where it may mobilize heavy metals.
