Common questions about Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray Is Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray reef safe? “Reef safe” isn’t a regulated label claim, so we answer by law instead. 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 Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray 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 Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray not allowed? Palau: it contains phenoxyethanol, which is not allowed there. Does Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Is Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 4.1% and zinc oxide 4.4%. Is the zinc oxide in Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray 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 Australian Gold SPF 50 Mineral Continuous Spray 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.
