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.

Common questions about Stream2Sea Sun Protect Lip Balm SPF 30 (Cucumber Mint)
Is Stream2Sea Sun Protect Lip Balm SPF 30 (Cucumber Mint) 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 Stream2Sea Sun Protect Lip Balm SPF 30 (Cucumber Mint) 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 Stream2Sea Sun Protect Lip Balm SPF 30 (Cucumber Mint) contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Stream2Sea Sun Protect Lip Balm SPF 30 (Cucumber Mint) a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filters are zinc oxide 5.5% and titanium dioxide 6.5%.
Is the zinc oxide in Stream2Sea Sun Protect Lip Balm SPF 30 (Cucumber Mint) 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.
