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 partial ingredient list, 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: SPF face moisturizer sold in the skincare range. The brand page inactive list ends with a trailing comma, so it may be truncated.
Common questions about Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25
Is Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25 reef safe?
“Reef safe” isn’t a regulated label claim, so we answer by law instead. It is allowed under the sunscreen laws of Hawaii statewide, Aruba and the Northern Mariana Islands, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Palau and Guam. We can’t confirm it for Thailand's national parks because part of its ingredient data is missing or unidentified. Labels like “Hawaii Act 104 compliant” only mean a product has no oxybenzone or octinoxate; they don’t make a chemical sunscreen legal on Maui or the Big Island.
Is Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25 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 not allowed because it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, and Maui’s rule covers using it there, not just selling it. In Hawaiʻi County (the Big Island), which has a mineral-only rule for sales, it is not allowed. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi have no county rule, so only the statewide law applies there.
Where is Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25 not allowed?
Maui County: it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. The U.S. Virgin Islands: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. Palau: it contains octocrylene, avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, methylparaben, ethylparaben and propylparaben, which are not allowed there. Guam: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there.
Does Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25 contain oxybenzone?

Is Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
