Well‑formulated high‑SPF facial sunscreen with hydrating and cosmetic benefits, though fragrance and chemical filters may limit suitability for very sensitive skin.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.
From Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Homosalate
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, Gluconolactone, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Citric Acid, Gluconolactone, Phytic Acid, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters
Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.
From Phytic Acid, Citric Acid, Gluconolactone
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Tocopherol, Bioflavonoids, Hydroxyacetophenone, Gluconolactone
Things to watch
Whether it has known or suspected hormone-related activity or endocrine-disruption concern.
From Homosalate, Octocrylene
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Citric Acid
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 Homosalate, Octocrylene
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Citric Acid, Homosalate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Pentylene Glycol
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Citric Acid, Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
