☀️ Florida Sunscreen is Now Tax-Free — Here’s What That Means for You!

Florida Sunscreen Just Got a Whole Lot Sweeter

If you live in the Sunshine State, you know sunscreen isn’t just a summer accessory—it’s a daily essential. And now, thanks to a new Florida law effective August 1, 2025, your favorite reef-safe sunscreen from Sun Drunk is tax-free year-round.

That’s right—no more waiting for “Back to School” tax holidays or special events to stock up. If it’s primarily designed to absorb, reflect, or scatter UV rays, it’s now permanently exempt from Florida’s 6% sales tax.

Why This is Great for You (and the Ocean)

At Sun Drunk, we specialize in mineral, reef-safe sunscreens—made without harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate that damage coral reefs. Every formula we carry is:

  • Ocean-friendly 🌊

  • Broad-spectrum UV protection ☀️

  • Clean & skin-safe 🫧

And now, you’ll pay less for products that protect both you and the planet.


What Counts as “Tax-Free Sunscreen” in Florida?

According to the Florida Department of Revenue, tax-free sunscreen is one that:

  • Is sold for UV protection (not just a moisturizer or cosmetic)

  • Can be mineral or chemical, as long as UV defense is the primary purpose

  • Includes lotions, sprays, sticks, and other sunscreen formats
