Common questions

Is EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Face Sunscreen healthy?

EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Face Sunscreen 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 EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Face Sunscreen?

EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Face Sunscreen lists 13 ingredients, starting with Octinoxate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Niacinamide, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate and Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer.

How processed is EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Face Sunscreen?

EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Face Sunscreen has no NOVA group.
