Performance Scores

SPF Level
The labelled SPF 50 maps directly to the 'Very high' protection tier, indicating strong UVB blocking capacity suitable for extended outdoor exposure.
Broad Spectrum
Strong broad-spectrum coverage is achieved with Avobenzone thoroughly covering the critical UVA I range, supplemented by Octocrylene for UVA II.
Sweat Resistance
The product makes no formal water resistance claim and lacks the robust hydrophobic film-forming polymer infrastructure required to sustain protection under water immersion.
Visible Light
The formulation completely lacks iron oxides or dedicated tinting agents necessary to meaningfully attenuate visible light and high-energy visible (blue) light.
Irritation Risk
The presence of multiple chemical UV filters and alkyl glucosides may trigger irritation or contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals, though mitigated by numerous soothing emollients.
Pore Clogging
The formulation contains Isopropyl Myristate, a highly comedogenic ester, alongside moderate pore-cloggers like Carrot Seed Oil and Glyceryl Stearate SE, elevating the overall risk.
White Cast
The primary UV filters are chemical; mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are at trace concentrations (positions 24, 25), minimizing cast.

Ingredients Analysis

Active Filters

OctisalateChemical · UVB
Clinical trials demonstrate systemic absorption into the bloodstream exceeding the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.
OctocryleneChemical · UVB/UVA II
Banned in several jurisdictions due to evidence of coral toxicity and accumulation in marine life.
HomosalateChemical · UVB
Laboratory studies indicate homosalate may act as an endocrine disruptor by interfering with hormone systems [1.1].
AvobenzoneChemical · UVA I/UVA II
Rapidly degrades under UV exposure losing significant UVA protection capacity unless stabilized by other filters.
Zinc OxideMineral · Broad Spectrum UV/High Energy Visible
Titanium DioxideMineral · UVB/UVA II
Classified as a possible human carcinogen if inhaled making spray and powder formulations a potential risk while dermal application remains safe

Key Inactives

WaterWater · Solvent
GlycerinGlycerin · Humectant
C12-15 Alkyl BenzoateSynthetic Oil · Emollient
Texique HE-20Polymeric · Thickener
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 ExtractBotanical Extract · Skin Conditioning
Raspberry ExtractBotanical Extract · Skin Conditioning
NiacinamideVitamin · Antioxidant
Shea ButterNatural Oil · Emollient
Carrot Seed OilNatural Oil · Emollient
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-10Polymeric · Thickener
Contains coco glucoside, an alkyl glucoside surfactant that is increasingly recognized as a cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Cetyl AlcoholWax · Thickener
Cetearyl AlcoholWax · Emollient
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 SEAnionic · Emulsifier
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].
SqualaneNatural Oil · Emollient
Glyceryl Stearate ASNonionic · Emulsifier
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 MyristateFatty Acid Ester · Emollient
Consistently rated very high on the comedogenic scale meaning it frequently causes pore blockages and triggers breakouts in acne prone individuals [1.4].
Emulsifying WaxNonionic · Emulsifier
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 EthylhexylglycerinPhenoxyethanol · Preservative
Both components are documented, albeit rare, contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
Oat ExtractBotanical Extract · Skin 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 AcidHyaluronic Acid · Humectant
CeramidesCeramide · Skin Conditioning
Potassium SorbateOrganic Acid · Preservative
Considered a rare skin sensitizer, it may occasionally cause mild allergic contact dermatitis or irritation, particularly on damaged or compromised skin [1.8].
