Common questions

Is Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion healthy?

Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen 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 Sport/Tanning aluminum-starch 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 Tanning Sunscreen Lotion?

Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion lists 26 ingredients, starting with Avobenzone, Octisalate, Octocrylene, Homosalate and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen 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 Tanning Sunscreen Lotion?

Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen 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 Tanning Sunscreen Lotion compare to other sunscreen?

At 15/100 Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion scores worse than most sunscreen we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 97/100.

Is Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion organic?

Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion is not certified organic in our data.

Has Coppertone Tanning Sunscreen Lotion been lab tested?

Not this product itself. It shares a base recipe (Chemical-filter lotion: water, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, glycerin, polyester-27, silica, styrene/acrylates, phenoxyethanol, isododecane; no oxybenzone) with the other products in its family, Coppertone Sport/Tanning aluminum-starch lotions, and 1 product in its family has been lab tested. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Those results are in the family's Contaminants section above; its own results may differ.
