UV filter legality

UV FilterIndiaEUNote
Tinosorb M (Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol)Nano-form. Nano disclosure on label. EU max 10%. Non-spray format - permitted.
Uvinul A Plus (DHHB)UVA filter. Photostable. EU max 10%.
Uvinul T 150 (Ethylhexyl Triazone)UVB filter with photostabilising properties. EU max 5%.

Requirement 2: Ingredient Safety

Ingredients with noted concerns

Tinosorb M - nano form

Nano-particle UV filter. EU prohibits nano Tinosorb M in spray formats - this is a fluid product, which is permitted. Nano disclosure present on label. Minor score deduction for incomplete systemic absorption data (gap common with newer nano UV filters).

Benzyl Alcohol

Present as part of preservative system (with Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, 1,2-Hexanediol). Mild sensitizer potential. EU Annex III-listed for leave-on cosmetics. At assessed preservative-level concentration, no safety concern [SAMPLE], but a minor deduction applied under sensitisation sub-score.

Propylene Glycol Dibenzoate

Film-forming ester. Limited long-term human data compared to more established cosmetic esters. No significant safety concern at assessed concentration [SAMPLE]. Noted for monitoring at renewal.

Formaldehyde releasers: None present

Preservative system: Benzyl Alcohol + Sodium Benzoate + Potassium Sorbate + 1,2-Hexanediol

Phototoxic botanical screen: Clear

Aloe Barbadensis, Chondrus Crispus, Olea Europaea Leaf - no furanocoumarins, hypericin, or psoralens identified

Requirement 4: Claims and Transparency

What was verified and what was not

Not verified does not mean a claim is false - it means sufficient evidence was not submitted for The Clean Sheet to confirm it against the standard.

SPF 50+

Independent SPF test result: 59.92 (ISO 24444 method or validated equivalent). Tested SPF exceeds label claim. Lab: NABL-accredited [SAMPLE: Ref T-XXXX]. Label correctly states SPF 50+ - no inflation of claim.

Verified

PA++++ UVA protection

UVAPF: 22.07 (JCIA method). PA++++ tier requires UVA-PF of 16 or above - this result qualifies comfortably. Boots 3-star UVA rating consistent with the result and claim.

Verified

Water resistant (80 minutes)

94% of original SPF retained after 80 minutes of water immersion (ISO 16217 protocol). Specific claim wording is 'water resistant' with duration specified - not 'waterproof', which is a prohibited claim in India and EU.

Verified

Non-comedogenic

28-day clinical study. 33 adult participants with oily or mixed-oily skin. Zero new comedones observed. 61.5% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions. 16% reduction in total lesions. Dermatologist supervised. Sample size adequate for a consumer-facing claim.

Verified

Dermatologist-tested

24-hour primary irritation patch test conducted under dermatologist supervision. Zero irritation reported across participants. Protocol and adverse event summary reviewed [SAMPLE: study reference pending].

Verified

Ophthalmologist-tested

3-day ocular safety study, twice-daily application, conducted under ophthalmologist supervision. No ocular irritation reported. Protocol reviewed [SAMPLE].

Verified

Reef-safe

Product does not contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, or octisalate - the three UV filters banned under Hawaii SB 2571 and Palau reef protection standards. Claim substantiated on filter-absence basis. No product-specific ecotoxicology testing submitted. The term 'reef-safe' has no universal regulatory definition.

Verified with qualification

Vegan and cruelty-free

Full INCI reviewed - no animal-derived ingredients. Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate is yeast fermentation origin (not animal). Cruelty-free supported by brand declaration [SAMPLE - third-party audit not submitted for this evaluation].

Verified

Fragrance-free

No parfum, fragrance, or masking fragrance ingredient in INCI. No EU 26 fragrance allergens detected above 0.001% leave-on threshold in reviewed formula [SAMPLE].

Verified

Hydration 65% at 8h / 38% at 24h

Consumer study data reviewed. Corneometer-based hydration measurement, dry skin panel. Results consistent with ingredient profile (Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyglutamic Acid, Ectoin, Aloe). Full protocol and sample size details are [SAMPLE] - pending final protocol review.

Verified with qualification

Blue light / visible light / IR protection

No peer-reviewed validated in vitro or clinical test for blue light, visible light, or IR protection in this specific formulation was submitted. Red Algae extract has published data on blue light defence, but a product-specific validated protocol was not available for review.

Not verified

100% biodegradable

No third-party biodegradability certification or OECD 301-method test data submitted for the full formulation. Individual ingredients may be biodegradable but a whole-formulation test is required for the claim to be verified.
