Featured on Scubadiverlife:Did you know sunscreens containing oxybenzone have a toxic effect at a concentration equivalent to just one drop in six-and-a-half Olympic-size swimming pools?

 

Oxybenzone and octinoxate (both common ingredients in sunscreen) kill corals, cause genetic damage to marine life and increase reproductive diseases in creatures from sea urchins through to mammals. Hawaii is taking the bold step of banning the sale of sunscreens containing those chemicals, in a bid to protect Hawaii's marine life.

 

It's time to follow this great example and change to natural sunscreen - there are many to choose from and it's an easy way to protect yourself and the global ocean we ALL rely upon for our survival.https://scubadiverlife.com/hawaii-bans-sale-sunscreens-harm-coral/
