#Sustainable #Sunscreen #Trademarks

As the reader may know, there are good sunscreens and then there are some not so good sunscreens...  Today we focus on three separate sunscreens that are reef-safe, e.g., their ingredients do not destroy coral reef systems in our oceans.

RAW ELEMENTS® is one example. Here is the USPTO "TESS" Record for the trademark registration that protects this brand of sunscreen:

"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."
