Common questions

Is Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer healthy?

Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Australian Gold Instant Bronzer spray gel. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer?

Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer lists 27 ingredients, starting with Avobenzone, Octocrylene, Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer?

Australian Gold SPF 4 Spray Gel Sunscreen with Instant Bronzer has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
