Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

EltaMD UV Sport SPF50 / 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.

EltaMD UV Sport SPF50 / LOTION lists 18 ingredients, starting with Beeswax, Zinc Oxide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Octisalate and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 EltaMD UV Sport SPF50 / LOTION scores worse than most sunscreen we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 100/100.
