Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it
ILIA's PDP is one of the strongest in beauty: 4.8 stars from 929 reviews, subscriptions with free shipping and a "Buy 3, Save 20%" bundle. The homepage has no H1 and opens on "6 Exclusive Offers", so the skin-first clean beauty idea loses to a promotions page.

?Tech StackExcluded: custom build, partial scanWhy excluded
ILIA runs a custom or headless storefront where our scanner sees very little (0 apps detected). A low number here would reflect our scanner, not their stack, so we leave Tech Stack out and reweight the score across the categories we could measure.
