Common questions about Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30

Is Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen 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 Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen 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 Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 contain oxybenzone?

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

Is Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 17%.

Is the zinc oxide in Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen 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 Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 water resistant?

Yes, for up to 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 40 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.

What is the NDC for Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30?

Babo Botanicals Hydrating Milk Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 79265-8164. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
