As we celebrate World Ocean Day, there's no better time to highlight the importance of protecting our beautiful marine ecosystems. At SunKiss Suncare, we are committed to providing sun protection that not only keeps you safe but also cares for our oceans. In collaboration with Burgess Yachts, Hannah from Viveco Yachts discusses the importance of reef-friendly sun protection, clean ingredients, and sustainable refills
The Importance of Reef-Friendly Sun Protection
Our oceans are home to some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, including vibrant coral reefs that are essential to marine life. Unfortunately, many conventional sunscreens contain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate that can cause significant harm to these delicate ecosystems. These chemicals contribute to coral bleaching, disrupt marine life, and negatively impact overall ocean health.
Hannah from Viveco Yachts emphasizes the importance of choosing reef-friendly sun protection. "When we spend time on the water, it's crucial to consider the impact our choices have on the marine environment," she says. "By opting for sunscreens that are free from harmful chemicals, we can enjoy the sun while preserving the beauty and health of our oceans."
Clean Ingredients for a Healthier You and Planet
The SunKiss team believes that what's good for the planet is also good for you. Our formulations are designed with clean, natural ingredients that provide effective sun protection without compromising on safety or performance. We avoid harmful chemicals and instead use mineral-based ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which offer broad-spectrum protection while being gentle on the skin and safe for marine life.
Hannah notes, "Clean ingredients are not just a trend; they are a necessity for a healthier lifestyle and a healthier planet. By choosing products with natural, non-toxic ingredients, we protect ourselves and our environment from the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals."
Sustainable Refills: A Step Towards Reducing Waste
In addition to reef-friendly formulations and clean ingredients, SunKiss is committed to reducing plastic waste through our sustainable refill program. By offering refillable sunscreen options, we aim to minimize single-use plastic packaging and encourage more sustainable consumer habits.
Sustainable refills are a simple yet impactful way to cut down on plastic pollution. When we choose refillable products, we take a significant step towards protecting our oceans from the detrimental effects of plastic waste.
