Marine-Friendly Products
100% of the ingredients of our reef-safe sunscreen are safe for the corals. Our formulation doesn’t contain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate that are toxic to coral reefs.
Our shampoo bars use plastic-free and adhesive-free packaging that is printed with compostable soy-based ink. We also make sure that all ingredients are evaluated based on ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) guidelines which sets the standard for
Our towels are made with 10 recycled plastic bottles to give these plastic bottles a second life.

Upcycling our Sunscreen Tube
We partnered up with two green innovators that can help us upcycle empty and cleaned sunscreen tubes. That way, you don’t have to worry about how to dispose of your sunscreen tubes or plastic pollution. Check out their drop-off points and some helpful tips below!
The Plastic Flamingo, aka The Plaf, is a social enterprise that aims to tackle marine plastic pollution by collecting and transforming plastic into eco-lumbers.

Green Antz Builders, Inc., is a waste management company that upcycles various waste streams into various types of construction materials, infrastructure, and agricultural materials.

Clean and your sunscreen tube – Make sure all excess sunscreen has been rinsed off of the packaging. You can cut the tube in half to get rid of all the product.
Dry sunscreen tube – Pat it down with a cloth or leave it out in the sun to dry.
TIP: Got other plastic packaging you want to get rid of? Take them with you when you drop off your sunscreen tube to the nearest Plaf or Green Antz station. Just make sure that everything you donate is clean and dry!
