Common questions about La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face SPF 50

Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face 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 La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face 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 La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face SPF 50 contain oxybenzone?

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

Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 2.7% and zinc oxide 15.3%.

Is the zinc oxide in La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face 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.

What is the NDC and UPC for La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face SPF 50?

La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Mineral Serum Sunscreen for Face SPF 50 is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 82046-721, and its UPC barcode is 3606000645721. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
