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

Essential oils and plant extracts on the EU list: Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Lavandula Hybrida (Lavender) 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.

Note: Archived page did not say "broad spectrum", so broadSpectrum is false (unverified). Directions tell users to use a water-resistant sunscreen when swimming or sweating. Inactive list includes both "Aqua" and "Water" as published. Brand website is offline (goddessgarden.com serves a hosting placeholder, checked 2026-09-23; archived pages from 2024 say the web store was closed and to shop on Amazon) and third-party reports say the company has ceased operating, so this product is marked discontinued; current availability could not be confirmed. Ingredients and details come from the Wayback Machine snapshot of the former brand product page (sourceUrl); imageUrl is the archived copy of the brand-hosted image. The brand page listed inactive ingredients alphabetically, which may not match the printed label order. Organic (*) markers removed; spelling kept as published.

Common questions about Goddess Garden Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer

Is Goddess Garden Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer 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 Goddess Garden Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer 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 Goddess Garden Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer contain oxybenzone?

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

Is Goddess Garden Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 19%.

Is the zinc oxide in Goddess Garden Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer 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.
