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

-   **Fragrance allergens on the EU list:** Benzyl Alcohol (Benzyl Alcohol: The EU label rule applies when it is used as a fragrance. In sunscreens it is often a preservative.)

The EU requires these allergens to be named on cosmetic labels above 0.001% in leave-on products ([Regulation 1223/2009, Annex III](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02009R1223-20250501)). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track.

Note: Mineral SPF face moisturizer listed on the brand's discontinued-products page. The brand page misprints the first active as 'Titanium Oxide' and two inactives as 'Xantham Gum' and '...Flower/Leaf/Steam Juice'; recorded as Titanium Dioxide, Xanthan Gum and Flower/Leaf/Stem Juice, matching the FDA DailyMed label (setid 0d4f04e9-64b5-4c52-8924-8510155f02d7, effective 2022-03-11), whose actives and inactive list otherwise match. Label says to use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Size from the DailyMed carton (68 mL).

## Common questions about Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer SPF 30

### Is Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer 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 Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer 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 Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer SPF 30 contain oxybenzone?

No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.

### Is Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 4.3% and zinc oxide 3%.

### Is the zinc oxide in Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer 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 Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Face Moisturizer SPF 30 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.
