Performance Scores

SPF Level
The labelled SPF 50 maps directly to the 'Very high' protection tier and is supported by an extensive combination of six distinct UV filters.
Broad Spectrum
Excellent, continuous broad-spectrum coverage is achieved through a synergistic blend of modern UVA organics and broad-spectrum inorganic filters.
Sweat Resistance
The formulation lacks a formal water resistance claim but includes a high density of silicone polymers that provide a baseline, unverified water-repellent film.
Visible Light
The formulation completely lacks iron oxides or dedicated tinting agents necessary to meaningfully attenuate visible and high-energy visible light.
Irritation Risk
Contains multiple chemical UV filters including octinoxate and trace synthetic fragrance, presenting a moderate risk for compromised skin barriers.
Pore Clogging
The formulation is built entirely on non-comedogenic volatile silicones, large silicone polymers, and lightweight esters, with only very low-level ingredients (like tocopherol) having minor comedogenic ratings.
White Cast
Contains untinted Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide at moderate concentrations, which will likely produce a visible ashiness on deeper skin tones.
