Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick inactive ingredients
isopropyl palmitate, ozokerite, cetyl alcohol, neopentyl glycol diethylhexanoate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, butyloctyl salicylate, silica, beeswax, isostearic acid, tomato (solanum lycopersicum) seed oil, sunflower (helianthus annus) seed oil, cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon) seed oil, black cumin (nigella sativa) seed oil, red raspberry (rubus idaeus) seed oil, caprylyl glycol, centella asiatica (gotu kola) extract, daucus carota stavia (carrot) seed oil, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, polyhydroxystearic acid, rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed oil
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: The brand page runs 'centella asiatica (gotu kola) extract daucus carota stavia (carrot) seed oil' together without a comma; split into two ingredients as on the FDA DailyMed label (setid f717cd89-194b-42e3-a079-24b2903deb29, NDC 59062-2201). 'stavia', 'annus' and the second raspberry seed oil entry are kept as printed (DailyMed also lists raspberry seed oil twice). The brand page writes common names first (e.g. 'tomato (solanum lycopersicum) seed oil') where DailyMed puts the Latin name first. Broad Spectrum SPF 50 and 'water & sweat resistant (80 minutes)' from the DailyMed label; the brand names it 'SPF 50+'. Size 1.6 oz (45 g). This formula replaced the earlier titanium dioxide/zinc oxide kids stick. Certified-organic markers (* and †) removed from ingredient names.
Common questions about Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick
Is Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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 Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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 Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 21.6%.
Is the zinc oxide in Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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 Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick 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.
