reef-friendly ingredients

Reef-friendly ingredients are substances used in skincare and sun protection products that are safe for ocean ecosystems, especially coral reefs. Certain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate can harm coral, causing bleaching and declining health. Reef-friendly ingredients typically include mineral-based components like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on the skin and block UV rays without damaging marine life. Choosing products with these ingredients helps protect coral reefs from chemical pollution while effectively safeguarding your skin from the sun. It's a responsible choice for anyone who cares about preserving ocean health and biodiversity.
