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.)
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: Ingredient list from the brand page for the Unscented variant of the Sunscreen Spritz page; it matches the DailyMed label (https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=447347d6-b8a3-7338-e063-6294a90abbf9) in content and order. Non-aerosol pump bottle per the DailyMed display panel ('Bottle, Pump'). Size 7 fl oz (207 mL) from DailyMed; the brand page does not state it. 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 Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented
Is Native Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented 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 Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented 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 Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Native Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 20%.
Is the zinc oxide in Native Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented 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 Mineral Sunscreen Spritz SPF 30 - Unscented 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.
