When purchasing sunscreen, more and more people are paying attention not only to UV protection, but also to environmental compatibility, especially for oceans and coral reefs. GLTZN meets the criteria of the Hawaii Reef Act and relies on coral-friendly ingredients that protect both skin and nature.
The Hawaii Reef Act – Protection for the underwater world
In 2018, Hawaii passed the Hawaii Reef Act, which bans the sale and use of sunscreens containing harmful chemicals such as oxybenzone and octinoxate. These substances are suspected of causing coral bleaching and damaging the delicate marine ecosystem.
