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: Inactive list matches the FDA DailyMed label (setid 247aae3d-1845-4dd8-b774-b9e8214809a2, NDC 59062-1200, 13 g applicator, also sold as a 2-pack); brand page capitalizes the seed-oil names. Broad Spectrum SPF 50 and water resistant (80 minutes) from DailyMed; the brand names it 'SPF 50+'. Also sold with the SPF 50+ sunscreen lotion in the 'suncare essentials' kit (DailyMed setid 96fd2cf8-cb07-4ec1-8946-8e862f6d8377). Certified-organic markers (* and †) removed from ingredient names.
Common questions about Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+
Is Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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 Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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 Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 7.9% and zinc oxide 6.7%.
Is the zinc oxide in Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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 Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ 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.
