Performance Scores
SPF Level
Excellent
SPF Level
Label claims SPF 60, which is corroborated by multiple high-efficacy UVB and broad-spectrum filters positioned prominently in the active ingredients list.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent
Broad Spectrum
Uvinul A Plus (peak 354 nm) and Bemotrizinol (peak 345 nm) provide extensive UVA I coverage, complementing the broad-spectrum attenuation of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide.
Sweat Resistance
Poor
Sweat Resistance
High concentrations of hydrophobic film-forming polymers like Polysilicone-11 and Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone crosspolymer are present in the inactive ingredients.
Photo Stability
Excellent
Photo Stability
The inclusion of Bemotrizinol and Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate provides robust triplet-state quenching to prevent the UV-induced degradation of photolabile filters.
Visible Light
Poor
Visible Light
Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) in the ingredient list.
Irritation Risk
Low Risk
Irritation Risk
Silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone) and C12-15 alkyl benzoate are highly inert and demonstrate negligible irritant or sensitizing potential in dermatological patch testing.
Pore Clogging
Low Risk
Pore Clogging
Clinical comedogenicity databases rate the primary base ingredients (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone crosspolymers) at 0/5, while laureth-12 is recognized as a moderate comedogen but is present here only as a trace stabilizer.
White Cast
Medium Risk
White Cast
Inorganic filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide reflect visible light, causing an opaque white cast on deeper skin tones unless tinted.
Ingredients Analysis
Active Filters
Octinoxate UVB
Studies indicate potential estrogenic and thyroid disrupting activity in animal models and human cell lines.
Uvinul A Plus UVA II / UVA I
Not approved by the US FDA as a sunscreen active and subject to strict EU impurity limits for the reproductive toxicant di n hexyl phthalate.
Titanium Dioxide (and) Alumina (and) Simethicone Broad Spectrum UV
Classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a possible carcinogen if inhaled raising safety concerns for its use in aerosolized and loose powder sunscreens
Bemotrizinol Broad Spectrum UV
Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Key Inactive Ingredients
Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Sensory Modifier
European authorities have mandated that starting in 2027 this cyclic silicone cannot exceed a trace concentration limit in leave on cosmetic products due to its severe ecological impact.
Caprylyl Methicone and PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer Sensory Modifier
PEG compounds may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane, a probable carcinogen, as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process [5].
Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate (and) Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride & Laureth 12 UV Stabilizer
The laureth 12 component is an ethoxylated compound that may contain trace amounts of 1,4 dioxane, a probable carcinogen, as a byproduct of the ethoxylation manufacturing process.
