Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

Label claims SPF 60, which is corroborated by the high placement of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide in the active ingredient list.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Zinc Oxide inherently absorbs across the full UVA spectrum up to 400 nm, and Titanium Dioxide strongly complements the 315-340 nm UVA II range.

Sweat Resistance

Poor

The high-concentration inclusion of Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer creates a hydrophobic film on the skin, satisfying the infrastructure requirement for a score of 2.

Photo Stability

Excellent

Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are inherently photostable physical filters, further supported by the extremophile antioxidant Thermus Thermophillus Ferment which mitigates UV-induced oxidative stress.

Visible Light

Fair

Iron Oxides are explicitly present in the formulation, which are universally recognized pigmentary minerals proven to absorb visible light in the 400-700 nm range.

Irritation Risk

Low Risk

Zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and silicones (dimethicone) are established in dermatological literature as biologically inert and universally well-tolerated by compromised skin.

Pore Clogging

High Risk

Dermatological studies, including rabbit ear assays, consistently rate free isostearic acid as highly comedogenic (4-5/5) even when diluted to concentrations of 10% or less.

White Cast

Low Risk

Iron oxides are standard mineral pigments that effectively offset the white reflectance of TiO2 and ZnO across Fitzpatrick skin types (J Am Acad Dermatol).
