Reef protection experts suggest sunscreen with mineral UV blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for reef safety, as some chemical sunscreens harm ocean life.
The American Academy of Dermatology advises choosing broad-spectrum sunscreens labeled SPF 30+, water-resistant, to defend against UVA, UVB rays, and reapply after 40-80 minutes of water exposure.
Significant issues such as recalls due to cancer-causing agents and harmful effects on ocean reefs caused by certain sunscreen ingredients prompt the need for careful label reading and ingredient evaluation.
Recent recalls, such as the FDA's notice on Suntegrity Skincare's sunscreen foundation, highlight the importance of monitoring sunscreen safety for both microbial contamination and carcinogenic risks.
