Reef Safe SunScreen Like No Other

Aethic reef safe sunscreen comes in a bottle made from sustainable sugarcane bioplastic. Every ingredient in our reef safe sunscreen has been individually tested and is proven to be safe for coral reefs and marine life. We also tested the finished product in its entirety and it once again proved harmless to coral. All this scientific evidence is in the world’s only eco compatible sunscreen patent.

No other brand can support its claims in this way.

Aethic reef safe sunscreen makes other brands greenwash with envy 🙂

AETHIC SPF40 REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN

Most sunscreens only have one or two sun filters. AETHIC’s Triple-Filter SPF40 reef safe sunscreen offers broader spectrum cover than many. It is also particularly photo-stable meaning that it protects better for longer. Our formula uses 3 natural moisturisers, Vitamin E as an anti-oxidant and food-grade preservatives. As it happens, our ingredient list is probably one of the shortest in the sun care industry!

Reef safe sunscreen explained

 

Reef safe sunscreen refers to sunscreens that are formulated with ingredients that should be proven to be environmentally harmless for coral reefs or marine ecosystems.

Traditional sunscreens often contain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which have been found to contribute to coral bleaching and negatively impact marine life.

Yet coral damage is not limited to these sun filters that have garnered media attention and have been banned in places such as Hawaii, Palau, Bonaire and Mexico. That’s an important part of the story but not the whole story.

The perfumes, fillers, emulsifiers, moisturisers and even essential oils can also cause damage. These are seldom mentioned by other brands. In contrast, a truly reef safe sunscreen like ours can demonstrate scientifically that all the ingredients are harmless.

Our reef safe sunscreen is the only one to have all that proof in the world’s only patent for an eco compatible sunscreen formulation.

Choose our reef safe sunscreen and help to protect coral reefs and marine biodiversity, promote sustainable practices for sun protection and enjoy outdoor activities safe from the sun’s strong rays. Save your skin and the ocean safe.

Does Aethic reef safe sunscreen protect your skin well?

 

Yes, unlike many others, our reef safe sunscreen provides effective protection for the skin. With three of the best sun filters available on the market, Aethic has developed a formula that not only prioritises environmental responsibility but also delivers high-quality sun protection for your skin. The combination of these three sun filters forms part of our patent.

What people are saying...

Thank you so much, this stuff is amazing! So happy! I’ve never used sunblock like that before ; sunblock usually makes me slip off my board when I surf, or sand is always sticking to me. This sunblock isn’t greasy and it smells nice too!
