Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol - **Fragrance allergens on the EU list:** benzyl alcohol (Benzyl Alcohol: The EU label rule applies when it is used as a fragrance. In sunscreens it is often a preservative.) - **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.

Common questions about Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70 Is Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70 reef safe? “Reef safe” isn’t a regulated label claim, so we answer by law instead. It is not allowed in any of the 9 places with a sunscreen law that we track. Is Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70 legal in Hawaii? Under Hawaii’s statewide law (Act 104, which bans oxybenzone and octinoxate) it is not allowed because it contains oxybenzone. In Maui County (Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi), which allows only mineral sunscreens, it is not allowed because it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene and oxybenzone, 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.
