Does leaving sunscreen in a hot car ruin it's formula?

I accidently left my brand-new, unopened Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen in the center console of my car for about 3 days straight (it wasn't left in the sunlight or anything). I haven't even taken it out of the box yet! We just went through a heatwave that reached over 101°F degrees and my car was parked in the sun during the worst of it. While I don't know how hot the sunscreen itself got, I do know the inside of my car got to insanely hot temperatures. Would this ruin the product??

I think it is better if you observe any difference in the sunscreen textures and scent. if there is no difference, it might be okay to use. But if you are concerned about the effectiveness, it is better to use it on body or toss it out since it might not give you the protection from the sun

Thinking of heat it can be serious. Especially with sunscreen, the extreme heat can change you know the composition of the ingredients in the sunscreen and the sunscreen overall effectiveness. which means the sunscreen becomes useless🤗
