It is allowed under the sunscreen laws of Hawaii statewide, Aruba, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Palau and Guam. 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 COOLA Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 - Tropical Coconut 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 avobenzone, octisalate and octocrylene, 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 COOLA Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 - Tropical Coconut not allowed? Maui County: it contains avobenzone, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. The U.S. Virgin Islands: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. Palau: it contains octocrylene, avobenzone and octisalate, which are not allowed there. Guam: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. ### Does COOLA Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 - Tropical Coconut contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Being oxybenzone-free does not make it mineral: it still uses chemical UV filters. ### Is COOLA Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 - Tropical Coconut a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 3%, octisalate 4% and octocrylene 7%. ### Is COOLA Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 - Tropical Coconut 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 UPC for COOLA Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 - Tropical Coconut?
