The buying question

How do the listed key actives, disclosed percentages and fragrance listing differ?

Not enough disclosed

Same on 1 of 2 features checked · Not disclosed: ingredient %

Both are fragrance-free bronzing drops without SPF, but Drunk Elephant's hero ingredients are peptides and cocoa while e.l.f.'s are plant oils, and neither discloses amounts.

Equivalent performance is not established.
