Common questions about Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 Is Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 reef safe? “Reef safe” isn’t a regulated label claim, so we answer by law instead. It meets every sunscreen law we track, including the mineral-only rules in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island) and Palau. Its only UV filters are minerals, which every law we track permits. Is Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 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. Does Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Is Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 18.3%. Is the zinc oxide in Alba Botanica Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 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 Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 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 Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30?
