Protect Your Skin, Protect Our Reef
Launched in 2019, the Responsible Sunscreen Campaign recognizes businesses that sell Ocean-Friendly Sunscreen, helping to encourage the protection of our fragile ecosystem to locals and visitors alike. Sun protection is important for human health, but we want to be mindful about the products we use. There are two kinds of sunscreen: chemical and mineral. Chemical sunscreen has recognized negative effects on our health and the health of our ecosystems. To avoid the harmful side effects of chemical sunscreens, we can use mineral sunscreen or alternative sun protection.
