Highlighted ingredients are regulated somewhere; red ones are restricted in at least one location we track. Dotted ones are listed below.
Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol
None of the 80 fragrance allergens on the EU list appear on this label, and it lists no fragrance, essential oil or drying alcohol.
The EU requires these allergens to be named on cosmetic labels above 0.001% in leave-on products (Regulation 1223/2009, Annex III). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track.
Note: Same active % and inactive list as the other Attitude SPF 50 mineral lotions (adult/kids/baby). Unscented formula listed; Sun-Kissed Vanilla and Tropical Coco variants add fragrance components (Sun-Kissed Vanilla: Rose Ketones, Methyldihydrojasmonate, Pentadecalactone, Phenethyl Acetate, Triethyl Citrate, Vanillin, Fragrance (Parfum); Tropical Coco: Anisaldehyde, Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate, Gamma-Octalactone, Methyldihydrojasmonate, Triethyl Citrate, Fragrance (Parfum)). Brand FAQ states only the SPF 50+ Lightweight Mineral Lotions are water resistant (80 min); all other Attitude sunscreens are not. Brand page lists ingredients bilingually (EN/FR); label text kept as published.
Common questions about Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - SPF 50
Is Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - SPF 50 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 Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - 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.
Does Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - SPF 50 contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 24%.
Is the zinc oxide in Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - 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 Attitude Mineral Sunscreen - SPF 50 water resistant?
No. It makes no water-resistance claim, so it isn’t meant for swimming or heavy sweating. Use a water-resistant sunscreen for time in the water.
