A well-formulated chemical sunscreen offering broad-spectrum protection and skin barrier support, suitable for many skin types, though the alcohol content warrants consideration for very dry or sensitive skin.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine
Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.
From Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Salicylate
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, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Tocopherol, Ceramide NP, Hydroxyacetophenone
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, Hydroxyacetophenone, Ceramide AP
Things to watch
Whether it may worsen breakouts — clogging pores, feeling heavy on acne-prone skin, or triggering comedones in some users.
From Isopropyl Palmitate
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
From Alcohol Denat.
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Benzoic Acid, Alcohol Denat., Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Alcohol Denat., Benzoic Acid
