It is allowed under the sunscreen laws of Hawaii statewide, Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Palau. Its only UV filters are minerals, which every law we track permits. ### Is Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 legal in Hawaii? Under Hawaii’s statewide law (Act 104, which bans oxybenzone and octinoxate) it is allowed. In Maui County (Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi), which allows only mineral sunscreens, it is allowed. In Hawaiʻi County (the Big Island), which has a mineral-only rule for sales, it is allowed. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi have no county rule, so only the statewide law applies there. ### Where is Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 not allowed? Palau: it contains phenoxyethanol, which is not allowed there. ### Does Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. ### Is Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 7% and zinc oxide 9%. ### Is the zinc oxide in Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 non-nano? Its Drug Facts ingredient list doesn’t state particle size, and US labels aren’t required to. Many brands make non-nano claims elsewhere on the pack or website. No sunscreen law we track regulates nano particles. ### Is Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 water resistant? Yes, for up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 80 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours. ### What is the UPC for Alba Botanica Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50?
