Just 9 ingredients in this pure reef safe sunscreen formula that protects you, your children, our beautiful coral reefs and valuable ecosystems. We interviewed the founder and creator of The Kind Sunscreen, Emma Corrie, and heard what got her started, why she persisted and what a difference choosing The Kind Sunscreen can make. Reef-safe sunscreens are important because active ingredients in common sunscreens wash off our skin and into our marine environments - 14,000 tons of sunscreen each year wash into our coral reefs!!!! Our Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the world and across the world the world's coral reefs cover approximately 11,000 square miles of sea floor and are some of the most diverse ecosystems and some of the most enjoyable places for us to visit. As the trends for clean living, sustainable living and eco living are all gaining momentum sunscreen ingredients have been under increasing scrutiny by conscious consumer especially as we've all become more away of what shouldn't be included in skin care products. The interest in mineral sunscreens has expanded with this trend coupled with the desire to choose a Reef Safe Sunscreen.
