Dotted ones are listed below. Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol - **Fragrance:** listed as “fragrance”. 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](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: coppertone.com product pages carry no Drug Facts (no ingredient lists), so the actives and inactive list (label order) were taken from the manufacturer's FDA-filed label on DailyMed. FDA SPL set ID d39a009d-1f33-88bb-e053-2a95a90a03a0 (label version effective 2025-12-31). Contains dihydroxyacetone and erythrulose (gradual self-tanner). The filed label conflicts on water resistance: the front panel says "Water Resistant (80 Minutes)" but the Directions say "use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating", so waterResistance is recorded as unknown. FDA labeler name is spelled "Beiersdort Inc" on this filing.

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 Coppertone Glow Protect & Tan Sunscreen + Self Tanner SPF 45 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, homosalate, 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 Coppertone Glow Protect & Tan Sunscreen + Self Tanner SPF 45 not allowed? Maui County: it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone, homosalate, 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, homosalate and octisalate, which are not allowed there. Guam: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. ### Does Coppertone Glow Protect & Tan Sunscreen + Self Tanner SPF 45 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 Coppertone Glow Protect & Tan Sunscreen + Self Tanner SPF 45 a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 3%, homosalate 15%, octisalate 5% and octocrylene 10%. ### What is the NDC and UPC for Coppertone Glow Protect & Tan Sunscreen + Self Tanner SPF 45? Coppertone Glow Protect & Tan Sunscreen + Self Tanner SPF 45 is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 66800-0079, and its UPC barcode is 072140032197.
