Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF50

Looks good 4.3 / 5

A broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen for face and body with very high UVA protection, a fragrance-free and non-comedogenic profile, and a more moisturizing feel than many sunscreens. The formula looks well suited to daily sun protection, though some very sensitive users may still react to the filter system or richer finish.

Skin

How it’s judged

Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

What it may help with

UV protection i3.8 / 4

Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.

From Titanium Dioxide, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

Hydration i3.5 / 4

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Glycerin, Panthenol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate

Soothing i3.0 / 4

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Panthenol, Glycerin

Barrier support i2.5 / 4

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate

Texture i2.5 / 4

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

From Panthenol, Glycerin, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Stearate

Things to watch

Systemic exposure i1.8 / 4

Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.

From Octocrylene

Eye irritation i1.5 / 4

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Phenoxyethanol

Sensitization i1.5 / 4

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenoxyethanol

Irritation i1.5 / 4

Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.

From Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Hydroxide, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

Endocrine i1.5 / 4

Whether it has known or suspected hormone-related activity or endocrine-disruption concern.

From Octocrylene
