coola.com Zinc Oxide Spray SPF 30 Drug Facts, dated 16 Aug 2026
Non-aerosol mineral spray. Maui and Palau pass on this panel. Classic Clear Spray is the other formula.
What this means
Organic is not mineral. Classic Clear Spray and Classic Face Lotion fail Maui. The brand never uses oxybenzone or octinoxate, which is Act 104, not the Maui rule. Pack the zinc spray if the Drug Facts still say zinc oxide 14.5% as the only active. Coola prints non-nano. Palau is fine on that spray. Liplux and Classic Face Mist are other bottles. Confirm the tube says Zinc Oxide, not Classic.
All places
Palau and the US Virgin Islands are in this table too. Maui and the Big Island use the same mineral-only rule.
