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 label, 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](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: Bag-on-valve continuous spray.

Common questions about Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray

Is Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray 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 Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray 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 Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray 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 Spray a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 3.4% and zinc oxide 16%.

Is the zinc oxide in Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray 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 Spray 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 UPC for Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray?

The UPC barcode is 871760008137. Different sizes and scents carry different barcodes.
