Performance Scores
SPF Level
The product provides SPF 50+ protection, mapping to the 'Very high' tier, supported by a high concentration of encapsulated UVB filters.
Broad Spectrum
Strong broad-spectrum coverage is achieved through Avobenzone for deep UVA I protection, complemented by Benzophenone-3 which bridges the UVA II gap.
Sweat Resistance
The product claims water resistance, but the formulation relies on water-swellable gums and hydrophilic polymers rather than robust hydrophobic film-formers, making the claim unreliable.
Visible Light
The formulation completely lacks iron oxides, pigmentary minerals, or any tinting agents necessary to provide meaningful protection against visible or blue light.
Irritation Risk
Contains Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone), a well-documented cause of photoallergic contact dermatitis, alongside other chemical filters.
Pore Clogging
The formulation consists entirely of water, water-soluble humectants, polymers, and encapsulated chemical filters, with no ingredients rated above 1/5 on the comedogenicity scale.
White Cast
Relies entirely on a chemical UV filter system (octinoxate, avobenzone, oxybenzone) with zero mineral filters present.
