Common questions about Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30
Is Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 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 Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 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 Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 6% and zinc oxide 6%.
Is the zinc oxide in Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 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 Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 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.
