Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol

Essential oils and plant extracts on the EU list: Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

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.

Common questions about COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free

Is COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free 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 COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free 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 COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free contain oxybenzone?

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

Is COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filters are zinc oxide 7.25% and titanium dioxide 3.5%.

Is the zinc oxide in COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free 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 COOLA Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Fragrance Free 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.
