Coral-Protecting Sunscreens

We can fix this

Eilat has introduced a coral-protecting sunscreen called Reef Relief, formulated to protect the skin from UV rays while nourishing endangered coral reefs. Giovanni Giallongo, Marine Biologist at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Eilat, said, "The development of a sunscreen that not only doesn't harm coral, but has the potential to feed and nourish our reefs, is an important step towards protecting and preserving our oceans."

Coral reefs face threats from climate change, pollution, and other human activities, with an estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen dumped in the world's oceans yearly. Reef Relief acts as a solution thanks to its non-nano, titanium-dioxide-based, mineral sunscreen formula. The product is ecocert-compliant and has gone through extensive aquatic safety testing. It also features a blend of FDA-compliant trace minerals utilized by coral farmers to feed and support healthy growth in coral.
