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

Fragrance allergens on the EU list: Vanillin
Fragrance: listed as “Natural 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). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track.

Note: INCI list from the brand page (EU-style, no percentages); UV filters moved to activeIngredients with percent null. Organic markers (°) removed. Brand page gives no water-resistance claim (spec line lists size as '50 ml / 0.1 oz'; only 50 ml recorded).

Common questions about Suntribe Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50

Is Suntribe Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50 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 Suntribe Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50 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 Suntribe Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50 contain oxybenzone?

No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.

Is Suntribe Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filters are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Is the zinc oxide in Suntribe Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50 non-nano?

The brand labels its mineral filter as non-nano. Particle size is a brand claim: US sunscreen labels aren’t required to state it, and no sunscreen law we track regulates it.
