Common questions

Is EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen healthy?

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial 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 UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen?

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen lists 21 ingredients, starting with Avobenzone, Octisalate, Octocrylene, Oxybenzone and Homosalate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen’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 EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen?

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen has no NOVA group.

Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
