Common questions

Is EltaMD UV Physical SPF41 Lotion healthy?

EltaMD UV Physical SPF41 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. 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 Physical SPF41 Lotion?

EltaMD UV Physical SPF41 Lotion lists 23 ingredients, starting with Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Water, Isopropyl Palmitate and Ethylhexyl Stearate (2-ethylhexyl Stearate, Octyl Stearate). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does EltaMD UV Physical SPF41 Lotion contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in EltaMD UV Physical SPF41 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".
