@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.

This feels like another attempt by corporations trying to get out of the responsibility that they have in the climate disaster by blaming consumers

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.

Thanks for talking about this. I’m obviously concerned about our poor coral reefs. Makes sense to me. 🥰

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
