Breakdown

16 ingredients to watch

Avène Avene Mineral Sun Stick SPF 50 sunscreen scores 45/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. 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.

Avène Avene Mineral Sun Stick SPF 50 sunscreen lists 17 ingredients, starting with Zinc Oxide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate and Jojoba Esters. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 45/100 Avène Avene Mineral Sun Stick SPF 50 sunscreen lands mid-scale — below the typical score in sunscreen, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 97/100.
