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

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](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.

## Common questions about Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula)

### Is Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) 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, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island) and Palau. Labels like “Hawaii Act 104 compliant” only mean a product has no oxybenzone or octinoxate; they don’t make a chemical sunscreen legal on Maui or the Big Island.

### Is Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) 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 not allowed because it contains octisalate, and Maui’s rule covers using it there, not just selling it. In Hawaiʻi County (the Big Island), which has a mineral-only rule for sales, it is not allowed. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi have no county rule, so only the statewide law applies there.

### Where is Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) not allowed?

Maui County: it contains octisalate, which is not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains octisalate, which is not allowed there. Palau: it contains octisalate and phenoxyethanol, which are not allowed there.

### Does Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) contain oxybenzone?

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

### Is Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Both. It combines mineral (titanium dioxide 3% and zinc oxide 6%) and chemical (octisalate 5%) UV filters, so it does not meet mineral-only rules.

### Is the zinc oxide in Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) 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 SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) 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.

### What is the NDC for Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula)?

Babyganics SPF 50+ Sunscreen Lotion (octisalate formula) is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 59062-1000. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
