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: Walmart is the labeler of record for Equate, and the actives and inactive list (label order) come from its FDA-filed label on DailyMed. SPL set ID f44d83d3-ffca-7a93-e053-2a95a90a7715 (label version effective 2024-10-23). Not broad spectrum: the filed label carries the Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert for products that only prevent sunburn.

## Common questions about Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6

### Is Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 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, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island) and Palau. 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 Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 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 and homosalate, 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 Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 not allowed?

Maui County: it contains avobenzone and homosalate, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone and homosalate, which are not allowed there. Palau: it contains avobenzone and homosalate, which are not allowed there.

### Does Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 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 Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 0.5% and homosalate 4%.

### Is Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 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 Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6?

Equate Sunscreen Tanning Oil Spray with Coconut Oil SPF 6 is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 79903-085, and its UPC barcode is 681131430111. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
