Hydrating Face Primer

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer scores 47/100 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.

e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer lists 12 ingredients, starting with Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Ascorbyl Palmitate and Tocopheryl Acetate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer lands mid-scale — below the typical score in foundation & concealer, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in foundation & concealer is RMS Beauty UnPowder Untinted at 96/100.
