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.
