Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Product label claims SPF 50, which aligns with multiple UVB-absorbing filters in the upper half of the ingredient list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Ecamsule (Position 3) has a peak absorption at 344 nm covering up to 390 nm, serving as the primary broad-spectrum filter.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
Absence of dedicated water-proofing agents such as specialized acrylates, silicones, or water-resistant waxes in the inactive ingredient list.
Photo Stability
Poor
Photo Stability
Dermatological literature indicates Methoxycinnamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine exhibits significant photoinstability, losing a portion of its protective capability within 35 minutes.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of iron oxide colour indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and pigmentary-grade minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Benzophenone-4, triethanolamine, and decyl glucoside are documented causes of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis in dermatological literature.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity scales (such as the Fulton scale) rate the vast majority of the ingredients at 0/5, with triethanolamine carrying a mild 2/5 rating.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
While Bisoctrizole (Tinosorb M) can cause mild white cast due to light scattering, its placement at position 21 ensures the concentration is too low for visible residue on most skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Methoxycinnamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine UVB / UVA II
This ingredient is not officially approved as an active sunscreen filter by the United States Food and Drug Administration or the European Union.
Ensulizole UVB
In vitro studies suggest it can generate reactive oxygen species upon UV exposure which may lead to cellular damage though real world impact is debated.
Sulisobenzone UVB / UVA II
Studies suggest potential estrogenic activity and hormonal disruption in fish models though European authorities consider it safe in cosmetics up to a five percent concentration.
Bisoctrizole Blend Broad Spectrum UV
Formulated with decyl glucoside as a stabilizer which has been identified as a hidden allergen responsible for contact dermatitis in sunscreen users.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Rose Water Skin Conditioning
Contains trace amounts of naturally occurring volatile fragrance compounds, such as geraniol and citronellol, which can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals.
Triethanolamine pH Adjuster
May react with nitrosating agents in formulations to form nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens.
Sodium DNA and Rose Extract Blend Skin Conditioning
The rose extract component contains natural fragrance allergens such as geraniol and citronellol, which may induce contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Antioxidant
AlthoughwidelyconsideredagentleralternativetopureL-ascorbicacid, emergingclinicalpatchtestdatahasidentifieditasapotential, albeitinfrequent, contactallergeninsomecosmeticusers[1.5].
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].
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Rose Essence Skin Conditioning
Contains natural volatile fragrance compounds such as citronellol geraniol and linalool which are known to cause allergic contact dermatitis and skin sensitization.
