Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Banana Boat / AVOBENZONE HOMOSALATE OCTOCRYLENE / LOTION scores 56/100 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.

Banana Boat / AVOBENZONE HOMOSALATE OCTOCRYLENE / LOTION lists 8 ingredients, starting with Dimethicone, Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Carbomer, Glyceryl Stearate and Peg-100 Stearate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 56/100 Banana Boat / AVOBENZONE HOMOSALATE OCTOCRYLENE / LOTION 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.
