I don't know if I believe that, actually.

If you look at one of Amazon's "best sellers" in the category, https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Bum-Moisturizing-SPF-Hypoallergen..., you see the description says both Oxybenzone and Octinoxate free, but that the image of the ingredient list shows Octinoxate. They clearly updated the product, but not the images.

If I search for the particular sunscreen you link and go to Neutrogena's website, I get https://www.neutrogena.com/products/sun/ultra-sheer-dry-touc..., which is, as you'll note from the URL, Oxybenzone free (and Octinoxate as well). Searching more broadly, I can't find -any- reference to the 70 SPF ultra sheer dry touch with Oxybenzone on Neutrogena's site; I can find the 100 SPF at https://www.neutrogena.com/products/sun/ultra-sheer-dry-touc... (via Google), but as you'll note, that's discontinued.

I can also comment, in Target, I looked at every Neutrogena product. I can't say for certain I saw the 70 SPF, but I can say I definitely checked out the ultra sheer dry touch line. No Oxybenzone.

So my expectation is that either that item on Amazon is old stock, or they haven't updated the product details (I don't see an indicator it's being filled by a third party else I'd also suggest it might be a formulation for another country that doesn't have regulations/awareness around oxybenzone). It's not actually being sold by Neutrogena in the US any more.
