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
- Fragrance: listed as “Fragrance”. US labels don’t have to name the allergens inside a fragrance, so there may be more than this list shows.
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: hawaiiantropic.com has no product pages (it links shoppers to Target, Walmart and Amazon), so the Drug Facts (actives and inactive list in label order) were taken from the manufacturer's FDA-filed label on DailyMed; no brand-hosted product image available. FDA SPL set ID cdc54f23-0efb-2fb4-e053-2995a90ae58b (label version effective 2025-09-28).
Common questions about Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder SPF 30
Is Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder 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 Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder 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 Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder SPF 30 contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 24.5%.
Is the zinc oxide in Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder 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.
What is the NDC and UPC for Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder SPF 30?
