Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 inactive ingredients

Butyloctyl Salicylate, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Cetyl Dimethicone, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Glycerin, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Hydrogenated Rosinate, Hexyl Laurate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Magnesium Sulfate, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Purified Water, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate

Highlighted ingredients are regulated somewhere; red ones are restricted in at least one location we track. Dotted ones are listed below.

Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol

None of the 80 fragrance allergens on the EU list appear on this label, and it lists no fragrance, essential oil or drying alcohol.

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: Ingredients, Broad Spectrum and 80-minute water resistance from the brand page. Zinc Oxide 23% matches Hello Bello's own DailyMed filings for the 3 oz and 5 oz tubes (https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=3e89d30e-b6cd-fabe-e063-6294a90a30ff and https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=3e66c234-a152-098e-e063-6394a90ab540); those filings' Drug Facts text lists only 'Butyloctyl Salicylate' under inactives, so the brand page list is used. A newer DailyMed filing by Topiderm, Inc. for a 5 fl oz (148 mL) bottle of Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 (Aug 2026, https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=54f12764-5c37-4a05-bf96-209fedb93fd1) gives Zinc Oxide 23.5% and the same inactive list in the same order (with typos); 23% is kept here because it matches the brand page and Hello Bello's own filings. The brand page lists inactives in near-alphabetical order, as does the filed label. Same inactive list as the Kids Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50.

Common questions about Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50

Is Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 reef safe?

“Reef safe” isn’t a regulated label claim, so we answer by law instead. It meets every sunscreen law we track, including the mineral-only rules in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island) and Palau. Its only UV filters are minerals, which every law we track permits.

Is Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 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 allowed. In Hawaiʻi County (the Big Island), which has a mineral-only rule for sales, it is allowed. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi have no county rule, so only the statewide law applies there.

Does Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 contain oxybenzone?

No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.

Is Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 23%.

Is the zinc oxide in Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 non-nano?

Its Drug Facts ingredient list doesn’t state particle size, and US labels aren’t required to. Many brands make non-nano claims elsewhere on the pack or website. No sunscreen law we track regulates nano particles.

Is Hello Bello Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 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.
