Most - if not all - sunscreen products on the market contain harmful chemicals, such as oxybenzone, which lead to coral bleaching and the subsequent death of coral reefs. Additionally, all sunscreens on the market are packaged in plastic bottles or tubs, exacerbating environmental issues related to plastics.
Our team has succeeded in inventing a reef-safe, coral-friendly sunscreen which is effective and does not require wasteful plastic packaging. We are able to demonstrate a product that looks, smells and feels great! We have been able to test its efficacy though three rounds of testing and development and are thrilled to have a product that is ready for production and commercial sales.
