#2 Environmental aspect
Because that’s how it is? You’ve probably noticed the shiny film on sea water in summer. But unfortunately it is nothing more than a “beautiful shine”: this shimmer is a residue of sun protection that is released through the skin into the water and accumulates there. There they can damage the natural environment of the sea, because as soon as the synthetic ingredients of conventional sun creams (e.g. oxybenzonates, octocrylenes, nanoparticles or even parabens) accumulate, they cause coral bleaching and coral reefs can be threatened with death. To avoid this, you should use natural sunscreens or products labeled “Reef Safe.” In some countries only these creams can be used to protect nature.
Which mineral sunscreen is best?
Which mineral sunscreen is ultimately best depends on who’s looking, because everyone has different needs when it comes to sun protection and every skin has different needs.
