Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
SPF 50 claim is supported by the prominence of Octinoxate, Iscotrizinol, and Titanium Dioxide in the upper half of the ingredient list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Zinc Oxide (broad spectrum up to 400 nm) and Bemotrizinol (peak at 345 nm) work synergistically to cover the critical UVA I gap often left by standard UVB filters.
Sweat Resistance
Excellent
Sweat Resistance
Formulation contains heavy silicone elastomers (Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) alongside Aluminum Chlorohydrate, which actively suppresses perspiration.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) is present in the formula and is well-documented in photobiology literature as a robust stabilizer for photolabile cinnamates like Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade non-white minerals in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological literature documents aluminum salts as frequent culprits for irritant contact dermatitis due to their acidic nature and sweat-duct-blocking mechanism.
Pore Clogging
High Risk
Pore Clogging
Dermatological comedogenicity scales universally rate isostearic acid at a 5/5 due to its strong pore-clogging potential demonstrated in clinical and animal models.
White Cast
High Risk
White Cast
Untinted titanium dioxide at high concentrations without iron oxides consistently produces visible white/ashy residue on Fitzpatrick III-VI skin tones.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Titanium Dioxide UVB / UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Cyclopentasiloxane Emollient
The European Union is restricting this ingredient to a maximum concentration of one tenth of a percent in leave on cosmetics effective June 2027.
Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone Emulsifier
Because it contains polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) chains, it carries a potential risk of trace contamination with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide from the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
Aluminum Chlorohydrate Other
In vitro studies suggest it may exhibit metalloestrogen activity and interfere with estrogen receptor signaling, though epidemiological evidence linking it to breast cancer remains inconclusive.
Isostearic Acid Skin Conditioning
Frequently flagged in dermatological databases as having a high comedogenic rating, meaning it has the potential to clog pores and exacerbate acne in susceptible individuals [2.5].
Sodium Benzoate Preservative

Phenoxyethanol Preservative
Generally well tolerated but can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation in rare cases, particularly in sensitive individuals.
