You're on vacation in a tropical paradise, the sun is shining, and you are preparing for a swim in the reef. As the sun-conscious person that you are, you lather up with some sunscreen you picked up at the resort and dive in. But wait! Is your sunscreen reed safe? Not enough people realize that chemical-based sunscreens can cause harmful damage to the world's coral and that a simple change can help to stop coral bleaching. The NOAA National Center for Coastal Ocean Science and partners have found a link between sunscreen chemicals and coral bleaching. To summarize the findings of the study published in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal: Corals are highly sensitive organisms that are prone to bleaching at the slightest stress, making even low concentrations of chemicals potentially harmful. The chemicals that filter ultraviolet (UV) light can activate latent viral infections in the symbiotic microalgae that the corals rely on for nutrition. Seawater surrounding coral exposed to sunscreen contained up to 15 times more viruses than unexposed samples. The ingredients found in sunscreens that should be avoided around reefs, that also have shown potentially harmful effects on humans, are octinoxate (also known as ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate), oxybenzone, parabens and octocrylene. The researchers estimate that 4000-6000 metric tons of sunscreen washes off swimmers and snorkelers into coral reef environments, and that up to 10% of the world's reefs are at risk for bleaching due to sunscreen runoff. While the study's methodology isn't necessarily perfect, as Christine Beggs of Project Blue Hope analyses, ingredients in chemical sunscreens are still harmful to both humans and the environment. Instead, she suggests the use of reef safe mineral sunscreens that are water resistant and biodegradable for the most environmentally friendly method of sun protection. The coral reefs, and your skin, will thank you. Goddess Garden's Ingredients Aloe Vera They use organic Aloe Vera plant for many different reasons. Not only is it a great moisturizer, but it is also very soothing to the skin (think of products with aloe to soothe sunburns). Aloe Vera is great in sunscreen for the same reasons why it is great to treat sunburns! Sunflower - Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil They love the sunflower seed oil that they include in their sunscreens. Sunflower is a great moisturizer that has a lot of vitamin E, which acts as a powerful anti-oxidant. Their sunflower seed oil is certified organic, non-GMO, and is sourced right here in the US! Soybeans - Glycine Soja Oil Goddess Garden's certified soybean oil comes from non-GMO crops sourced in the US. Soybean oil also serves a dual purpose as both a moisturizer and as a "fixative" that protects the essential oils they use in their products.
