Common questions

Is Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion healthy?

Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion 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, Coppertone Pure & Simple mineral lotions. 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 Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion?

Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion lists 22 ingredients, starting with Zinc Oxide, Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Isopropyl Palmitate and Butyloctyl Salicylate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion’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 Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion?

Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion 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.

How does Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion compare to other sunscreen?

Is Coppertone Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion organic?
