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.

Note: Badger's site lists inactive ingredients by common name (e.g. 'Sunflower Vitamin E'), not INCI; copied as shown, with the final '&' treated as a separator. Label claim: 97% Organic Ingredients - Certified Non-GMO. No water-resistance claim; Directions contain no swimming/sweating reapplication time.

## Common questions about Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15

### Is Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 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 Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 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 Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 contain oxybenzone?

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

### Is Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 8%.

### Is the zinc oxide in Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 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 Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 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.

### What is the NDC and UPC for Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15?

Badger Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 15 is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 62206-1542, and its UPC barcode is 634084470987. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
