Common questions about Raw Elements SPF 50 Face + Body Serum Is Raw Elements SPF 50 Face + Body Serum 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 Raw Elements SPF 50 Face + Body Serum 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 Raw Elements SPF 50 Face + Body Serum contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Is Raw Elements SPF 50 Face + Body Serum a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Mineral. Its UV filters are zinc oxide 9.5% and titanium dioxide 7.2%. Is the zinc oxide in Raw Elements SPF 50 Face + Body Serum non-nano?
