Good Weather Skin All Over Sun Milk Face & Body SPF 50
Medium-high risk; waterproof cosmetics often contain fluorinated compounds without transparency.
This waterproof sun milk contains water-repellent additives common in cosmetics, but Drunk Elephant makes no PFAS disclosure or commitment. Waterproof formulas sometimes rely on PFAS-based polymers.

What’s concerning
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent treatments have historically contained PFAS chemicals.
No PFAS disclosure
The company has not publicly discussed PFAS in this product.
Category baseline
cosmetics is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Undisclosed UV filter chemistry
Drunk Elephant does not publicly name which UV filters are used. Common chemical filters like avobenzone can degrade under UV exposure and potentially release irritants; photostability is unknown without disclosure.
Silicone accumulation and skin barrier effects
Water-resistant formulations often rely on high silicone content for film formation. Repeated application without thorough cleansing can lead to pore clogging and perceived skin irritation, particularly in acne-prone or sensitive individuals.
Fragrance allergens (if present)
Drunk Elephant's product line typically includes botanical extracts and fragrance compounds. No specific allergen disclosure is published for this sunscreen; individuals with fragrance sensitivity should patch test.
Waterproofing agent residue
Water-resistant claim requires hydrophobic additives beyond standard emulsifiers. Incomplete removal via water alone can leave a film on skin and may contribute to irritation if left on for extended periods.
Lack of third-party testing transparency
Drunk Elephant does not publish independent stability testing, heavy metal screening, or contamination audits for this product, limiting external verification of safety claims.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Good Weather Skin All Over Sun Milk is a water-resistant oil-in-water emulsion combining UV filters (likely avobenzone and/or homosalate based on Drunk Elephant's typical formulations), silicone polymers for spreadability, and hydrophobic compounds to maintain water resistance. The silicone content improves feel but can accumulate on skin with repeated application. Water-resistance claims typically rely on film-forming polymers or waxes that may include fluorinated compounds (flagged in your PFAS assessment), though the exact chemistry is not publicly disclosed by the brand.
The brand's record and disclosure
Drunk Elephant markets itself as 'clean beauty' with a Suspicious 13 exclusion list, but does not publicly disclose specific UV filter choices, silicone types, or waterproofing agents in this product. The brand has not published independent testing data or PFAS statements despite selling multiple water-resistant products. No major safety recalls are on record for this specific sunscreen, but the silence on fluorinated additives conflicts with transparency claims.
How it compares in its category
Water-resistant sunscreens in the mass-premium segment (La Roche Posay, CeraVe, Blue Lizard) typically disclose UV filters openly; Drunk Elephant's vagueness is a relative weakness. Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) avoid many chemical filter concerns but are not this product's approach. The SPF 50 and water-resistance duration (if labeled) are standard, but the undisclosed silicone and waterproofing chemistry makes direct comparison difficult.
If you buy it
Use as directed for outdoor exposure (reapply every 2 hours or after water contact per FDA guidance). Do not exceed recommended amount; excess silicone buildup can trap heat and bacteria if left on skin overnight. Wash off thoroughly with soap and water, not just water alone, to remove hydrophobic residues. If skin irritation, redness, or greasy feel persists, discontinue and switch to a mineral or more transparent formula.
