“—” means no specific record for that ingredient in that jurisdiction's lists — it is not an approval. Restricted ingredients are allowed within limits (concentration, product type, label warnings); a product listing one is not necessarily over the limit. How we check.

Can I take it to Hawaii? — reef sunscreen laws

Storage & heat

Official storage statements

“Protect the product in this container from excessive heat and direct sun.” — Required 'Other information' statement for sunscreens sold in the U.S. (FDA OTC Monograph M020)

“Keep out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.” — Common precautions required on all cosmetics in Korea (Cosmetics Act Enforcement Rule, Annex 3)

On the brand's product page

“store at room temperature.”

Our note — heat, light & air

This formula lists ingredients that are known to break down faster in heat, light or air:

Don't leave sunscreen in a hot car or in direct sun on the beach — heat can separate the formula and lower protection.

Other markets

Ingredients in this formula that are prohibited or limited in other markets, from the overseas regulation database compiled by Korea's MFDS. Limited means allowed within conditions.
