#Sustainable #Sunscreen #Trademarks

"Sunscreen washes off your body when swimming and enters the marine environment. Common chemical sunscreen ingredients, such as oxybenzone, can kill coral and damage coral reefs. Badger sunscreens do not have any of these harmful ingredients and they are safe for coral reefs."
