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: INCI list from the brand page (EU-style, no percentages); UV filters moved to activeIngredients with percent null. Organic markers (°) removed. Sold Untinted and Tinted; the Tinted version adds CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides) at the end. Inactive list shown is Untinted. No water-resistance claim; size line reads '50 ml / 0.1 oz', only 50 ml recorded.
Common questions about Suntribe Organic Mineral Day Cream SPF 20
Is Suntribe Organic Mineral Day Cream SPF 20 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 Suntribe Organic Mineral Day Cream SPF 20 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 Suntribe Organic Mineral Day Cream SPF 20 contain oxybenzone?
No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law.
Is Suntribe Organic Mineral Day Cream SPF 20 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. Its UV filter is zinc oxide.
Is the zinc oxide in Suntribe Organic Mineral Day Cream SPF 20 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.
