Common questions about Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion Is Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion 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, Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Palau. Its only UV filters are minerals, which every law we track permits. Is Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion 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. Where is Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion not allowed? Palau: it contains phenoxyethanol, which is not allowed there. Does Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Is Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 20%. Is the zinc oxide in Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion 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 Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion water resistant? Yes, for up to 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 40 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
