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: Size not stated on brand product page. Sold as single or 3-pack. Brand site disclaims that the printed package label is authoritative over the web ingredient list. Water resistance taken from the Drug Facts reapply direction (after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating).

Common questions about Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm

Is Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm 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 Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm 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 Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm contain oxybenzone?

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

Is Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 10%.

Is the zinc oxide in Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm 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 Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm 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 and UPC for Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm?

Blue Lizard Mineral SPF 15 Lip Balm is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 0316-2085, and its UPC barcode is 303162085152. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
