Impact of toxic sunscreens on our marine environments
- A surge of studies are documenting the severe impacts that sunscreens containing the chemical UV blockers oxybenzone and octinoxate are having on our marine environment. For instance, 8 ppb of oxybenzone, which is equivalent to 8 drops in an olympic size swimming pool, can cause coral bleaching! Learn more about the issue and alternatives in our Reef Friendly Sunscreens article.
