Sunbutter SPF50 Reef Safe Sunscreen

Why Reef Safe Sunscreen?

Our oceans are under threat from pollution and many sunscreens are contributing to the problem. Whilst providing your skin with UV protection, widely accepted sunscreen chemicals are also killing corals, causing toxic build-up in marine animal tissues and putting a strain on our ocean’s ecosystems.

Every year, 4,000-6,000 tonnes of sunscreen enters our oceans. 65% of which contain a chemical of high toxicity concern, Oxybenzone, with many more containing similar derivatives (EWG, 2017). Therefore it's not only our bodies, but our oceans that are under pressure from these chemicals being washed off our skin and absorbed by the environment.

According to new research, one single drop of oxybenzone in an Olympic sized pool of seawater creates a toxic environment. “Sun Smart” isn't always environmentally smart.
