Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol

  • Drying alcohol: Alcohol (ORGANIC)
  • Fragrance: listed as “Fragrance (Natural)*”. US labels don’t have to name the allergens inside a fragrance, so there may be more than this list shows.

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: Oil in a spray/mist bottle. Broad Spectrum not stated on the brand page (recorded false; confirm against packaging).

Common questions about COOLA Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30

Is COOLA Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30 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, 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 Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30 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 Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30 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 Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30 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 Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 2.9%, octisalate 4.9% and octocrylene 8.6%.

What is the UPC for COOLA Firming Body Oil Mist SPF 30?
