. . . but hate putting harmful chemicals in the ocean from sunscreens. It has been reported that sunscreens may play a role in the deterioration of the coral reefs. Well here's a bit of good news -tropicalSeas has developed not only a biodegradable sun screen claiming not to harm the coral reefs, but it comes in a 100% recyclable plastic applicator - from top to bottom. Nice to have some good news to share! We can promote the proactive companies that produce these environmental-friendly products by sharing this info and making sure we buy them even if they cost a little extra. Save your skin while saving the planet, we're worth it.
