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: Mike Field artist edition; ingredient list and order differ from Lip Rescue SPF 30. Asterisks marking certified-organic ingredients on the brand page were removed.
Common questions about Raw Elements SPF 30 Mike Field Lip Sunscreen
Is Raw Elements SPF 30 Mike Field Lip Sunscreen 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 Raw Elements SPF 30 Mike Field Lip Sunscreen 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 Raw Elements SPF 30 Mike Field Lip Sunscreen contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Raw Elements SPF 30 Mike Field Lip Sunscreen a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 23%.
Is the zinc oxide in Raw Elements SPF 30 Mike Field Lip Sunscreen non-nano?
The brand labels its mineral filter as non-nano. Particle size is a brand claim: US sunscreen labels aren’t required to state it, and no sunscreen law we track regulates it.
