Performance Scores

SPF Level

Excellent

Label claims SPF 50, corroborated by multiple primary UVB filters including Octisalate, Octocrylene, and Homosalate positioned highly in the ingredient list.

Broad Spectrum

Excellent

Avobenzone delivers deep UVA I protection (peak absorption at 357 nm), while Octocrylene bridges the UVA II gap (315-340 nm), validating the PA+++ rating.

Sweat Resistance

Poor

The formulation relies on basic rheology modifiers like Xanthan Gum and fatty alcohols, completely omitting specialized water-proofing polymers, acrylates, or silicones.

Photo Stability

Excellent

Cosmetic science literature confirms Octocrylene acts as an effective triplet-state quencher to prevent the UV-induced degradation of Avobenzone.

Visible Light

Poor

Total absence of iron oxide color indices (e.g., CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) or pigmentary-grade non-white minerals in the formulation.

Irritation Risk

Medium Risk

Octocrylene is a known photoallergen, and coco-glucoside was designated the 2017 ACDS Allergen of the Year due to rising rates of allergic contact dermatitis.

Pore Clogging

High Risk

Clinical and dermatological studies consistently rate Isopropyl Myristate as a 5/5 comedogen, while high-oleic botanical oils and stearate emulsifiers are established as moderate (3/5) pore-clogging agents.

White Cast

Low Risk

At trace concentrations (typically <1%), mineral filters do not produce significant visible reflectance on most Fitzpatrick skin types.


Ingredients Analysis

Active Filters

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.

Homosalate ChemicalUVB

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

Avobenzone ChemicalUVA I / UVA II

Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.

Zinc Oxide MineralBroad Spectrum UV / High Energy Visible
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

Key Inactive Ingredients

Water WaterSolvent
Glycerin GlycerinHumectant
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate Synthetic OilEmollient
Texique HE-20 PolymericThickener

The blend contains coco glucoside which belongs to the alkyl glucoside class of surfactants that was named Contact Allergen of the Year in 2017 due to an increasing incidence of allergic contact dermatitis [4.1].

Green Tea Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning
Raspberry Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning
Niacinamide VitaminAntioxidant
Shea Butter Natural OilEmollient
Carrot Seed Oil Natural OilEmollient

Contains high levels of oleic acid and typically scores a 3 to 4 on the comedogenic scale making it likely to clog pores and exacerbate breakouts in acne prone individuals [2.4].

Texique HE-10 PolymericThickener

Contains coco glucoside, an alkyl glucoside surfactant that is increasingly recognized as a cause of allergic contact dermatitis.

Cetyl Alcohol WaxThickener
Cetearyl Alcohol WaxEmollient

Historically rated as mildly comedogenic in animal models but modern dermatological consensus indicates it is unlikely to clog pores in typical cosmetic formulations.

Glyceryl Stearate SE AnionicEmulsifier

Carries a moderate comedogenic rating indicating a potential to clog pores or exacerbate breakouts in acne prone individuals depending on the overall formulation [1.8].

Squalane Natural OilEmollient
Glyceryl Stearate AS NonionicEmulsifier

Fatty acid esters like glyceryl monostearate are frequently identified as moderate pore cloggers that may contribute to acne breakouts in susceptible individuals [2.1].

Isopropyl Myristate Fatty Acid EsterEmollient

Consistently rated very high on the comedogenic scale meaning it frequently causes pore blockages and triggers breakouts in acne prone individuals [1.4].

Emulsifying Wax NonionicEmulsifier

Because it is typically a blend containing ethoxylated compounds like polysorbates it carries a risk of trace contamination with 1,4 dioxane a probable carcinogen created during manufacturing [1.8].

Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin PhenoxyethanolPreservative

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

Oat Extract Botanical ExtractSkin Conditioning

Although generally hypoallergenic repeated topical application of oat proteins on severely compromised skin such as in children with atopic dermatitis may increase the risk of epicutaneous sensitization [1.5].

Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic AcidHumectant
Ceramides CeramideSkin Conditioning
Potassium Sorbate Organic AcidPreservative

Considered a rare skin sensitizer, it may occasionally cause mild allergic contact dermatitis or irritation, particularly on damaged or compromised skin [1.8].
