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). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track.
Note: Brand FAQ on the page says the product is not water resistant. Inactive list ends with a '+/-' shade-colorant clause (CI numbers), kept verbatim. 8+ shades.
Common questions about Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50
Is Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 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, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island) and Palau. 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 Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint 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 not allowed because it contains homosalate and octisalate, 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 Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 not allowed?
Maui County: it contains homosalate and octisalate, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains homosalate and octisalate, which are not allowed there. Palau: it contains homosalate and octisalate, which are not allowed there.
Does Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Both. It combines mineral (zinc oxide 13.58%) and chemical (homosalate 7% and octisalate 5%) UV filters, so it does not meet mineral-only rules.
Is the zinc oxide in Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 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 Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 water resistant?
No. It makes no water-resistance claim, so it isn’t meant for swimming or heavy sweating. Use a water-resistant sunscreen for time in the water.
