JUST PEACHYMINERAL SUNSCREEN

• ×Oxybenzone

  Environmental research and documented skin allergies inform our choice. Laboratory studies have identified effects on coral and other marine organisms, and sunlight-triggered allergic reactions have been reported in people.

  NOAA research · Clinical report

• ×Octinoxate

  Research on aquatic effects and documented allergic reactions informs our decision. Laboratory studies have reported changes in thyroid signaling in zebrafish larvae; these findings don’t establish equivalent effects in people using sunscreen.

  Environmental study · Clinical study

• ×Avobenzone

  We choose zinc oxide for our mineral-only formula. Documented sunlight-triggered allergies to avobenzone in some patients also inform our choice.

  Clinical study

• ×Octocrylene

  We consider both environmental research and skin tolerance. Studies document contact and sunlight-triggered allergies, and NOAA identifies octocrylene among sunscreen ingredients with potential effects on marine life.

  Allergy study · NOAA

• ×Homosalate

  Safety assessments examining exposure and potential hormone-related effects inform our decision. European assessments led to restrictions on concentration and product use.

  European assessment · Restrictions

• ×Octisalate

  We use zinc oxide as our only sunscreen active. Research has measured octisalate’s absorption into the bloodstream and supported further safety studies.

  FDA-authored clinical study

• ×Parabens

  We chose a different preservation system to help protect our formula from microbial contamination. This is a formulation preference.

  FDA information

• ×Phenoxyethanol

  We use an alternative preservation system. Phenoxyethanol’s potential endocrine-disrupting properties are under European assessment.

  ECHA assessment status · SCCS safety assessment

• ×Artificial dyes

  Plant-derived color. No artificial dyes. We choose plant-derived ingredients for our distinctive pink and blue tones. This reflects our color-source preference.

• ×Butane + isobutane

  Squeeze. Apply. Rub in. Our pouch dispenses sunscreen without aerosol propellants or airborne spray mist. Pediatric guidance recommends lotions to avoid inhaling sunscreen spray.

  American Academy of Pediatrics guidance

• ×Formaldehyde + formaldehyde-releasing preservatives

  We choose a preservation system without these ingredients because of their potential to cause contact allergy. FDA identifies formaldehyde and several formaldehyde-releasing preservatives among cosmetic allergens.

  FDA allergen guidance

• ×Methylchloroisothiazolinone + methylisothiazolinone

  We exclude these preservatives because of their documented potential to cause contact allergy and use a different preservation system.

Research findings depend on the ingredient, concentration and exposure. Our exclusions explain our formulation choices.
