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:** farnesol

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: Actives and inactive list copied from the Drug Facts on the target.com listing. up&up is Target's own brand, so the target.com listing is the brand page. Target Corporation's FDA-filed label on DailyMed (set ID 22f86630-d4b4-8ad7-e063-6394a90a8d1e) has the same Drug Facts. Same Drug Facts as the Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50.

Common questions about up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50

Is up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion 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, 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 up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion 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.

Where is up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 not allowed?

Palau: it contains phenoxyethanol, which is not allowed there.

Does up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 contain oxybenzone?

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

Is up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 20.6%.

Is the zinc oxide in up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion 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 up&up Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 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.
