Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Merit Beauty MERIT Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer 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.

Merit Beauty MERIT Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer lists 21 ingredients, starting with Octyldodecyl Myristate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Synthetic Wax and Diisostearyl Malate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Merit Beauty MERIT Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer scores worse than most blush & bronzer we have scored. A higher-scoring option in blush & bronzer is Fat and the Moon Lip & Cheek Stain at 100/100.
