System Verdict
Strong sunscreen architecture, but the fragrance and older UVB filter mix keep this from being elite. The efficacy score is driven by a genuinely broad filter system with both mineral filters and modern UVA/UVB coverage, plus film formers and tint pigments that improve wear and visible-light protection; it loses points because the formula leans on a heavily silicone-based cosmetic base, includes fragrance, and does not show the kind of clearly optimized, ultra-clean filter system that would justify a top-tier score.
