This is not Coral Safe by any scientific standards. Don't be fooled like I was.
You should also know that oxybenzone is only one of several sunscreen ingredients that are toxic to coral. Known as the Awful 8, these chemicals should be avoided at all cost: Oxybenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene, PABA (Aminobenzoic Acid), enzacamene, octisalate, homosalate, and avobenzone Your #1 ingredient in this is Avobenzone- and you advertise as Reef Safe. you also are branded as Hawaiian Tropic. I live in Hawaii and my brother is a marine biologist scientist who studies the actual reefs and coral in Hawaii, whenever I buy sunscreen I pass it by him first, he told me this. He also told me that they don't use Avobenzone in children's sunscreen because of safety concerns. I haven't confirmed if that is true. I appreciate you trying to safe as you are not truly Reef Safe- and thank you for posting your ingredients, I should've read them and not just bought it. I trust too much. Sam Martin
