Data indicates that this professional-grade formula utilizes a "Helioplex" broad-spectrum defense system, which stabilizes Avobenzone using Oxybenzone and Diethylhexyl 2,6-Naphthalate. While effective for UV blocking, the presence of Oxybenzone (6%) is noted as a potential environmental and systemic factor in large quantities. The base includes Silica for oil absorption and Beeswax for 80-minute water resistance. Analysis of user reports shows a high frequency of ocular irritation, often attributed to the migration of chemical filters during perspiration. Performance is noted for a lack of heavy white cast and effective conditioning of the surface skin during outdoor activity.
To maintain skin clarity, a thorough double-cleanse is recommended to remove stubborn polymers that may trap surface impurities. Conditioning the surface with an oil-dissolving wash helps prevent post-activity congestion.
