Sunscreen is essential to protect the beauty and health of the skin, but ingredients such as oxybenzone in sunscreen have been found to kill or bleach coral reefs.
In recent years, it is said that coral reefs are dying and bleaching in oceans around the world, and a bill has been passed in Hawaii to ban sunscreen containing raw materials harmful to coral reefs. In a study published in 2015, experiments found that oxybenzone not only interferes with the growth of coral larvae, but is also toxic to some corals. According to a WWF study, less than 0.2% of the total seafloor area is coral reefs, and about one-quarter (70,000 species) of marine species depend on this area. Even a small part of a coral reef is destroyed, and a large part of the ecosystem is destroyed. As a result, the use of sunscreen containing certain UV absorbers has been banned on the beaches of Palau and Hawaii.
Now that coral reefs are said to be in a critical state, we have decided to create sunscreen with coral-friendly ingredients in order to coexist with this One Planet. It is a cosmetic product with beauty ingredients that meets the standards of the Republic of Palau and Hawaii, which are making advanced efforts in coral conservation, and can also be used as a makeup base without white cast.
This Feel Coral Sun Protect Milk does not use ingredients regulated in the Republic of Palau (oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, phenoxyethanol, etc.) or ingredients that are likely to be regulated worldwide in the future (nanoparticle zinc oxide, nanoparticle titanium dioxide), so it can be used anywhere in the world, including Hawaii and Palau. It is also free of mineral oil, alcohol, preservatives and fragrances.
By using it not only in the ocean but also in daily life, you can reduce the runoff of components that have a negative impact on corals from your home to the sea.
