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). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track.
Note: Inactive list on the brand page repeats "Zinc Oxide"; kept verbatim. Brand has closed (kinfield.com shows a closure notice, checked 2026-09-23); product no longer sold.

Common questions about Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm
Is Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm 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 Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm 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 Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 10.5%.
Is the zinc oxide in Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm 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.
What is the NDC and UPC for Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm?
Kinfield Liplock SPF 15 Balm is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 81750-100, and its UPC barcode is 850007156565. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
