Common questions

Is Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4 healthy?

Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4 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, plus lab results from its product family, Petrolatum tanning lotion base. 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 Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4?

Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4 lists 28 ingredients, starting with Avobenzone, Octocrylene, Water, Petrolatum and Diisopropyl Adipate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4 contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4’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 Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4?

Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4 has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion Sunscreen SPF 4 compare to other sunscreen?
