Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Octinoxate (peak 311 nm) and Oxybenzone (peak 288 nm) are established UVB filters present at high formulation positions.
Broad Spectrum
Poor
Broad Spectrum
Avobenzone provides essential UVA I protection (peak 357 nm), but its efficacy is severely compromised by the destabilising presence of Octinoxate.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Sodium Acrylates Copolymer offer some structural water resistance, but lack the robust performance of dedicated silicone or specialized acrylate resins.
Photo Stability
Poor
Photo Stability
Spectroscopic studies confirm that co-formulating Avobenzone with Octinoxate leads to concomitant photolysis and free radical formation, overwhelming any weak stabilisation from Oxybenzone.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
No iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary grades of Titanium Dioxide/Zinc Oxide are present in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
High Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature consistently identifies oxybenzone as one of the most frequent causes of sunscreen-induced photoallergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity scales rate the primary vehicle components and active filters at 0-1/5, while higher-rated ingredients like tocopherol and triethanolamine are restricted to insignificant concentrations.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Chemical UV filters absorb rather than scatter visible light, fundamentally eliminating any potential for white cast regardless of skin tone.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Oxybenzone UVB / UVA II
Clinical trials demonstrate that single applications lead to blood concentrations vastly exceeding safety thresholds and remaining detectable for weeks [1.1].
Avobenzone UVA I / UVA II
Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
Aloe Vera Extract Skin Conditioning
Unpurified whole leaf aloe extracts may contain anthraquinones like aloin which have shown carcinogenic potential in oral animal studies but cosmetic grade aloe is decolorized to safely limit these compounds to below 50 parts per million [1.3].
Lecithin Emollient
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel advises that lecithin should not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of potentially carcinogenic N nitroso compounds [1.6].
PEG-100 Stearate Emulsifier
PEG compounds may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane, a probable carcinogen, as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Fragrance Fragrance

Polysorbate 80 Emulsifier
As an ethoxylated compound, it carries a theoretical risk of contamination with 1,4-dioxane, a probable carcinogen formed during the manufacturing process.
Triethanolamine pH Adjuster
May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.
Red 2G Colorant
Can metabolize into aniline, a highly toxic compound and suspected carcinogen, which led to its widespread ban as a food additive.
