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: Discontinued: the brand's website printed on its labels (gobareoutside.com) now returns a closed Shopify storefront ('Unavailable Shop') and barerepublic.com redirects to an unrelated site, and Target's Bare Republic brand page (https://www.target.com/b/bare-republic/-/N-4yil8) returns no results, as checked 2026-09-24.

Common questions about Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30
Is Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 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 Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 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 Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filters are titanium dioxide 5.2% and zinc oxide 2.5%.
Is the zinc oxide in Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 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 Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 water resistant?
Yes, for up to 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 40 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
