Common questions

Is Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel healthy?

Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel 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. 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 Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel?

Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel lists 24 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Alcohol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel’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 Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel?

Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ Light Gel 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.
