Our sunscreens are compliant with Hawaii’s and other regional regulations on coral reef and marine environment. They do not contain the chemical ingredients banned in those areas like Oxybenzone or Octinoxate. However, “Reef-Safe” is an unregulated statement. While our products technically “qualify”, you can learn more on here about why we have decided to no longer make this statement.
Yes, all of our sunscreens are formulated with non-nano mineral filters. While the United States does not currently have a specific regulatory definition for nanomaterials in cosmetics, we apply internationally recognized standards and guidance, including European Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 and the European Commission Recommendation 2022/C 229/01.
Sunscreen sticks do a great job of protecting your skin from UV rays. While you can certainly apply this sunscreen to areas besides your face for protection, you may prefer to use one of our lotions or sprays to cover larger areas of your body more efficiently.
Yes, all of our sunscreen products are safe for use on children (under 6 months old it is recommended to consult your pediatrician before using sunscreen).
Our Tinted Sunscreen is lightly tinted in one shade to provide a healthy glow while minimizing white cast on most skin tones. It is not designed to provide coverage, but rather to limit the visible cast often associated with mineral suncare.
