What are the active ingredients please? Is it chemical (i.e. avobenzone) or physical, (i.e titanium dioxide, zinc oxide)?

The active ingredients are octinoxate 7.5% and zinc oxide 10.5%. Octinoxate is considering potentially harmful, while zinc oxide is considered safe. I suspect Obagi may have eschewed using only physical sunscreen blockers because they tend to go on white, while this absorbs quickly into the skin. I use it on my face only.

Pretty certain the ingredients are physical.......that's main reason for my selection of the product.

Active ingredient is zinc oxide. Inactive ingredients are, talc, boric acid n carbolic acid(phenol). For diaper rash, if nothing else helped, this did. I always keep some on hand.

Hi! I checked the back of the packet and although there are tons of ingredients (written really, really small), I did not see zinc oxide. However, to be on the safe side there is a toll free number for you to contact them - 877-684-5774. Hope this helps.

The active ingredient is actually Titanium Dioxide 9.1% - all other ingredients are listed as inactive.

Titanium Dioxide is the only one I see in the ingredients list, it does not specify a percentage. I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens, so I checked before buying this, as well.

Several online sources list "reef safe" in their description of the product, but I couldn't find any mention of it on the company website. Apparently, these are the ingredients that are harmful to reefs - Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3), Butylparaben, Octinoxate, and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, and these are safe - zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and avobenzone. The active ingredients in Beyond Coastal's Natural line are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, In their Active line, it's avobenzone. Under "Details" on their website it lists "Oxybenzone Free, Paraben Free" for both lines. But if you want to be absolutely sure that it's reef safe, you could send the company an email I'm sure they could confirm that for you. http://www.beyondcoastal.com/

I just looked at the list of ingredients, and there's no zinc oxide listed in either the towelettes or the lotion (I keep both handy, here in South Florida). FYI, this product is fantastic - I've used it for 2+ years, NEVER been burned (literally), and it has never stained any clothing like some others do (yellow stains, etc.).

As I read the ingredients on the jar in front of me, titanium dioxide IS NOT LISTED. Hope this helps you.

I think what your asking about is how the sunscreen blocks the sun. A physical barrier usually contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They stay on the skin and block suns rays. A chemical barrier uses chemicals such as Avobenzone and Oxybenzone in its mix. These chemicals then are absorbed by the skin and block the suns rays. The Neutrogena product your looking at has the chemical products.

It does have zinc and titanium dioxide and is uva and uvb protection. I love this sunscreen. I have a history of skin cancer and I feel I get great protection.

At a glance, the ingredients appear to be the same except for one: on the box, the first ingredient listed under "inactive ingredients" is aluminum hydroxide, which appears to be missing from the list here on Amazon. The sunscreens listed are the same: titanium dioxide 3.2% and zinc oxide, 1.8%.

No, it doesn't. If you are concerned as to whether it has zinc oxide, you can rest assured it doesn't. The main active ingredient is titanium dioxide.

Active ingredients:avobenzone 3%, homosalate 10%, octinoxate 7.5%, octisalate 5%, oxybenzone 4%. Don't see parabens on the label. I get along with it very well. Doesn't burn or make my eyes water. I discovered it as it was stocked in rest rooms at Breckenridge ski area. Haven't had a pre cancer burned off in the 5 years I've been using it, which is unusual for me as I'm a 69 yr old very white boy.
