Thanks to the ozone hole discovered in the 80s, the real truth about skin cancer was revealed and shook the world. Painful sunburns are one thing, skin cancer like melanoma is not something we can just laugh at. Sunscreen has always been a must-apply ever since.

Don’t get this wrong. Using sunscreen is still highly recommended. It’s just there are some types that should not land on your skin… Pick up sunscreens around your house, look at the ingredients list, and if you see “oxybenzone” and/or “octinoxate”. They are NO-NOs. In fact, they are already banned in some countries.

Why? Because these ingredients truly harm the environment in the way that they damage coral DNA and disrupt marine lives (and consequently ours).
