Sun Silky UV Stick

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

NIVEA Sun Silky UV Stick scores 10/100 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.

NIVEA Sun Silky UV Stick lists 21 ingredients, starting with Silica, Synthetic Wax, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Dibutyl Adipate and Octyldodecanol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 NIVEA Sun Silky UV Stick scores worse than most sunscreen we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 97/100.
