Performance Scores

SPF Level
The labelled SPF 50+ maps directly to the 'Very high' protection tier, supported by a combination of Octinoxate, Oxybenzone, and Titanium Dioxide.
Broad Spectrum
Strong broad-spectrum protection is achieved with Avobenzone covering UVA I, complemented by overlapping UVA II and UVB coverage from Oxybenzone and Titanium Dioxide.
Sweat Resistance
The formulation includes silicone-based film formers and polymeric thickeners that provide baseline water resistance infrastructure, but it lacks a formal manufacturer water resistance claim.
Visible Light
Multiple iron oxide colour indices are present, but their position at the very end of the ingredient list indicates trace amounts intended for cosmetic tint rather than functional protection.
Irritation Risk
Contains a high concentration of benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone) and avobenzone, which are well-established causes of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis.
Pore Clogging
The formulation is built on a lightweight, non-comedogenic base of water, isododecane, and silicones, with only mild pore-clogging potential from moderate-to-low concentration ingredients like corn starch and glyceryl esters.
White Cast
The white cast from titanium dioxide is completely neutralized by the inclusion of red, yellow, and black iron oxide tinting agents.

Active Filters

Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Phospholipids, and Butylene Glycol BlendChemical · Broad Spectrum UV
Multiple studies confirm that oxybenzone and octinoxate exhibit estrogenic and antiandrogenic activity which can disrupt thyroid and reproductive hormones [1.2].
Titanium Dioxide BlendMineral · Broad Spectrum UV/High Energy Visible
Powdered and aerosolized forms are classified as suspected carcinogens by inhalation and recent European assessments raised genotoxicity concerns regarding incidental oral ingestion [1.9].
