COVID-19 UPDATE:
Is your sunscreen ocean friendly?
Most sunscreen sold in the UK contains chemicals - including Oxybenzone, Octinoxate and Octocrylene - which have toxic effects on the environment. Our skincare products are mineral based, organic and oxybenzone free and provide broad-spectrum protection from UV Rays.
Research has shown that chemicals in high street sunscreens act as hormone disruptors; changing fish behavior, causing animals to stop reproducing, killing coral larvae and causing coral bleaching.
Even if you're nowhere near the sea, sunscreen washes from your shower, through water treatment plants, into rivers and out to the ocean. Sewage is the largest source of sunscreen chemicals heading into the sea.
