Florida Makes Sunscreen Tax‑Free, How That Benefits You...
Great news, Florida! Starting August 1, 2025, sunscreen products are officially tax-free across the state. That’s right, if you are a Florida resident, whether you’re stocking up for the beach, daily sun protection, or restocking your family’s SPF favorites, you’ll now save 6% automatically at checkout.
This new regulation is part of Florida’s updated tax code (HB 7073), which makes the sunscreen exemption permanent, not just a summer sales tax holiday. If sun protection is part of your daily skincare ritual (as it should be!), this change is a welcome win.
Why Did Florida Make Sunscreen Tax-Free?
The Sunshine State lives up to its name, and with year-round UV exposure, the state government recognized sunscreen as an essential health item. By removing the 6% sales tax, Florida is helping make sun safety more affordable and accessible for everyone.
And it’s not just lotions: this exemption applies to all products primarily intended to protect against UV rays, including:
- SPF lotions and creams
- Mineral sticks
- Facial sunscreens
- Body sprays
- Lip balms with SPF
Whether you apply it every morning or keep a backup in your beach bag, you’ll pay less every time you shop.
