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: Shades: Ocean Mist, Beach Pout, Pink Feet, Sun Kissed, Salt Water; also sold as Sunrise and Sunset 3-packs. The last four items (CI 45410, CI 15850, D&C Red 7, Iron Oxides) are 'May Contain' colorants on the label; the Sunset 3-pack page omits D&C Red 7. Page does not state 'broad spectrum', so broadSpectrum is false (unconfirmed). Nano status of zinc not stated. Asterisks marking certified-organic ingredients on the brand page were removed.
Common questions about Raw Elements SPF 30 Tinted Lip
Is Raw Elements SPF 30 Tinted Lip 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 Tinted Lip 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 Tinted Lip contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Raw Elements SPF 30 Tinted Lip a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide 25%.
Is the zinc oxide in Raw Elements SPF 30 Tinted Lip 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 Raw Elements SPF 30 Tinted Lip 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.
What is the UPC for Raw Elements SPF 30 Tinted Lip?
