This sunscreen provides robust broad-spectrum UV protection with a blend of effective chemical filters and skin-conditioning ingredients. Its fluid texture and inclusion of humectants and emollients make it a potentially comfortable option for various skin types. However, the presence of fragrance is a notable limitation for individuals with 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 Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, 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 Panthenol, Glycerin, Avena Sativa Kernel Extract, Propanediol
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Avena Sativa Kernel Extract, Panthenol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Tocopherol
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, Panthenol, Glycerin, Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Fragrance, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Fragrance, Citric Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid
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 may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
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.
