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
- 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). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track.
Note: Older 5 oz body formula, sold on the brand site under 'Body Sunscreen - Last Chance' (clearance). Ingredient list from the brand page for the Tropical Breeze variant. The brand page writes 'Cetearyl Alcohol & Coco-Glucoside' and 'Arachidyl Alcohol & Behenyl Alcohol' as pairs; they are split into separate items here (the DailyMed label lists them separately). The brand page includes Avocado Oil and uses 'Vitamin E' / 'Sunflower Seed Oil'; the DailyMed label for this product (https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=232032b7-803f-40ec-e063-6394a90a4b38) has no avocado oil, lists 'tocopherol' and 'helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil', and places fragrance before tocopherol. The brand page list is used. Broad Spectrum SPF 30 per brand page and DailyMed. No water-resistance claim on the brand page or the filed label; Drug Facts directions say to use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating (the FDA wording for non-water-resistant products).
Common questions about Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze
Is Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze 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 Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze 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 Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 20%.
Is the zinc oxide in Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze 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 Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze water resistant?
No. It makes no water-resistance claim, so it isn’t meant for swimming or heavy sweating. Use a water-resistant sunscreen for time in the water.
What is the NDC for Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze?
Native Body Sunscreen SPF 30 - Tropical Breeze is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 84126-605. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
