@alexeducatedmess: Replying to @oceanraysphotography I think it’s super important to be mindful of ingredients that could be harmful to the environment, but “reef safe” sunscreen marketing bothers me for several reasons. To quote coral expert Terry Hughes, “people make a long list of bad things that human beings do to coral reefs— I would place sunscreen at number 200.” #skincare #cosmeticchemist #sunscreen #mineralsunscreen #spf #reefsafesunscreen
This feels like another attempt by corporations trying to get out of the responsibility that they have in the climate disaster by blaming consumers

In order for the mineral sunscreens to be ‘safER’ for marine life, including coral, the mineral filters should be non-nano. And you have to really look at labels and understand what you 1/

Like stopping the use of plastic straws, but plastic bags and plastic food packaging are still being produced by the gazillions.

Such a scam. Using studies intentionally interpreted poorly to sell products. I take most “clean” beauty with a grain of salt.

Reefs aside, what about the links between chemical sunscreens and health effects, especially oxybenzone. Better reason to avoid that ingredient?

I was wondering if the quality of ingredients changes based on price? Like even if theres a dupe, the cheaper one has cheaper quality ingredients
