Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

The presence of Octisalate, Octocrylene, Homosalate, Bisoctrizole, Bemotrizinol, and Titanium Dioxide provides immense, redundant absorption capacity in the UVB (280-315 nm) spectrum.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Bemotrizinol (peak 345 nm), Bisoctrizole (peak 360 nm), Uvinul A Plus (peak 354 nm), and Zinc Oxide (peak 370 nm) collectively create an unbroken protective shield spanning 315-400 nm.

Sweat Resistance

Poor

The ingredient list lacks dedicated water-proofing agents (like acrylates copolymers or robust silicone resins) and instead contains wash-off surfactants like Coco Glucoside.

Photo Stability

Excellent

Photobiology literature confirms that Bemotrizinol, Bisoctrizole, Uvinul A Plus, Titanium Dioxide, and Zinc Oxide maintain their absorption capabilities without significant degradation under sustained UV exposure.

Visible Light

Excellent

Yellow Iron Oxide (CI 77492) and Red Iron Oxide (CI 77491) at positions 6 and 8 act as pigmentary-grade minerals that physically block high-energy visible (blue) light.

Irritation Risk

Medium Risk

Dermatological literature documents octocrylene as a notable cause of allergic contact dermatitis, while recognizing oat extract, ectoin, and panthenol as barrier-reparative.

Pore Clogging

High Risk

Clinical evaluations, including the widely cited Fulton comedogenicity scale, consistently rate lauryl alcohol as a 4/5 for pore-clogging potential due to its specific carbon chain structure and penetrability.

White Cast

Low Risk

Dermatological guidelines establish that blending iron oxides into mineral formulations successfully neutralizes the visible white reflection on deeper skin tones.


Ingredients Analysis

Active Filters

Bemotrizinol ChemicalBroad Spectrum UV

Identified in recent dermatological literature as a rare but emerging cause of allergic contact dermatitis.

Bisoctrizole HybridBroad Spectrum UV
Titanium Dioxide MineralUVB / UVA II

Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe

Zinc Oxide MineralBroad Spectrum UV / High Energy Visible
Octisalate ChemicalUVB

Clinical trials demonstrate systemic absorption into the bloodstream exceeding the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.

Octocrylene ChemicalUVB / UVA II

Banned in several jurisdictions due to evidence of coral toxicity and accumulation in marine life.

Uvinul A Plus ChemicalUVA 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.

Homosalate ChemicalUVB

Laboratory studies indicate homosalate may act as an endocrine disruptor by interfering with hormone systems [1.1].

The European Union is restricting this ingredient to a maximum concentration of one tenth of a percent in leave on cosmetics effective June 2027.

Niacinamide VitaminAntioxidant
Corn Starch Mattifying AgentSensory Modifier

While widely used to absorb oil some acne specialist lists flag corn starch as having comedogenic potential that may exacerbate breakouts in highly susceptible individuals [1.6].

Glycerin GlycerinHumectant
Panthenol OtherHumectant
Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate Mattifying AgentSensory Modifier

May contain trace heavy metal impurities like arsenic and lead but cosmetic grade material is strictly regulated to remain within safe food grade limits [2.8].

Karanja Seed Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning

Karanjin the primary bioactive furanoflavonoid in the extract has demonstrated partial estrogen like activity and the ability to modulate hormone receptors in vitro [1.8].

Butylene Glycol GlycolSolvent
Polyhydroxystearic Acid PolymericEmulsifier
Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate NonionicEmulsifier
Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin PhenoxyethanolPreservative

Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.

Ginseng Root Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning
Centella Asiatica Exosomes Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning

While generally well-tolerated, Centella asiatica extracts and their triterpenic constituents are considered weak contact sensitizers that can occasionally trigger allergic contact dermatitis, especially on compromised skin [1.6].

Ectoin Amino AcidHumectant
Oat Kernel Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning
Coco Glucoside CleansingSurfactant

Although widely considered gentle, the alkyl glucoside family has been noted as an emerging trigger for allergic contact dermatitis in a small number of sensitized individuals [1.10].
