The efficacy score of 4.7/5 reflects multiple modern, photostable filters covering UVB and UVA, including Ethylhexyl Triazone, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Terephthalidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, supported by a lightweight film-forming base. Panthenol and humectants support comfort, but the rice water, botanical extracts, ceramide, antioxidants, and peptide are secondary because most appear lower in the list and are not the reason this product protects skin. The formula contains no declared fragrance and no denatured alcohol, supporting the 4.4/5 safety score; irritation or eye-stinging remains possible because this is a chemical-filter sunscreen.
