False Advertising, this is not a mineral based sunscreen
This product contains 4% Octocrylene, a chemical UV blocker. Octocrylene was found to cause failure in the mitochondria of coral and impair metabolism in a study by the American Chemical Society. This product should not be considered reef safe or and should be clearly labeled as having chemical UV protectors. Marketing this product as mineral based is intentional misleading. The product description online makes minimal mentions of this chemical protector; the drug information was difficult to find within the page. In fact the picture of the product label online does not even match the real label. I'm sure it works fine as sunscreen, but It is not reef safe or mineral based.
