Dotted ones are listed below. Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol - **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](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02009R1223-20250501)). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track. Note: panamajack.com prints no Drug Facts text, so the actives and inactive list were transcribed from the back-label image on the product page (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6221/1900/files/Spray8-BackLabel.jpg). The can is a bag-on-valve spray that the label calls "Aerosol Free"; it is recorded as a spray can. Not broad spectrum: the label carries the Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert. The list matches the 2020 FDA filing by Prime Packaging (set ID b0a1da0f-9942-838b-e053-2995a90a7c61). The label lists retinyl palmitate although its front panel claims "Retinyl Palmitate Free". ## Common questions about Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 ### Is Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 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, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Palau and Guam. 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 Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 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 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 Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 not allowed? Maui County: it contains avobenzone and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone 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 and phenoxyethanol, which are not allowed there. Guam: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. ### Does Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Being oxybenzone-free does not make it mineral: it still uses chemical UV filters. ### Is Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 2% and octocrylene 2%. ### Is Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8 water resistant? Yes, for up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 80 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours. ### What is the NDC for Panama Jack Continuous Spray Bronzer Sunscreen SPF 8?
