EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer 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.

EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer lists 23 ingredients, starting with Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Niacinamide and Dimethicone. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer scores worse than most facial moisturizer we have scored. A higher-scoring option in facial moisturizer is BIETCR Organic Grass-Fed Beef Tallow Whipped Honey Balm, Unscented at 100/100.
