Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
The presence of Octinoxate, Octocrylene, and Octisalate as the primary active ingredients provides strong, overlapping UVB absorption that corroborates the labelled SPF 50 claim.
Broad Spectrum
Poor
Broad Spectrum
The filter system consists entirely of Octinoxate, Octocrylene, and Octisalate, none of which provide meaningful UV absorption beyond 340 nm.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
The first inactive ingredient is a Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer blend, which creates a highly hydrophobic, water-resistant polysiloxane film on the skin.
Photo Stability
Fair
Photo Stability
Cosmetic science literature confirms that Octocrylene functions as an effective photostabilizer, quenching the excited states of photolabile filters like Octinoxate.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
A complete absence of color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and physical mineral UV filters in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Medium Risk
Irritation Risk
Dermatological patch test data frequently identifies octocrylene as an inducer of photocontact and allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in compromised skin.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity databases rate the primary vehicle components (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone) and the active chemical filters at 0/5.
White Cast
Low Risk
White Cast
Octinoxate, octocrylene, and octisalate are fully transparent organic (chemical) filters that leave no particulate residue on the skin.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Octocrylene UVB / UVA II
Banned in several jurisdictions due to evidence of coral toxicity and accumulation in marine life.
Octisalate UVB
Clinical trials demonstrate systemic absorption into the bloodstream exceeding the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer Sensory Modifier
Cyclopentasiloxane is restricted in the European Union to a maximum of 0.1 percent in leave on cosmetics by June 2027 due to environmental accumulation concerns.
PEG-8 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Water, Octyldodeceth-25, and Sodium Hyaluronate Humectant
Ethoxylated ingredients such as PEG-8 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides and Octyldodeceth-25 may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are potential carcinogens formed during the manufacturing process.
