Ingredients

Active Ingredients: Butyl Methoxybidenzoylmethane 5%, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor 4%, Octocrylene 2%, Bemotrizinol 1%, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxybenzoates

Contains: Benzoates, Citronella Oil

SUSTAINABILITY

Rating: Low to Moderate

1. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone): Avobenzone provides UVA protection but has low biodegradability and can produce harmful byproducts in water. It is not reef-safe and has been shown to accumulate in the environment.
2. 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor (Enzacamene): This UVB filter is persistent in the environment and can bioaccumulate in marine life, affecting coral reefs and fish. It is also an endocrine disruptor and non-biodegradable.
3. Octocrylene: Octocrylene is commonly used for its stability and broad-spectrum protection, but it has high persistence and can bioaccumulate in aquatic ecosystems, posing risks to coral reefs and marine organisms.
4. Bemotrizinol: This broad-spectrum UV filter has low water solubility, so it is less likely to accumulate in water bodies than some other chemical filters. However, its long-term impact on marine environments is not fully understood. It is currently regarded as a safer option among chemical UV filters.
5. Phenoxyethanol: This preservative is generally seen as a safer alternative to more controversial parabens. However, it is not readily biodegradable, and high concentrations in aquatic environments can be toxic to marine life.
6. Hydroxybenzoates (Parabens): Hydroxybenzoates are biodegradable but are known endocrine disruptors and can impact aquatic organisms. Although they break down relatively quickly, their hormonal activity can be harmful even in small concentrations.
7. Benzoates: Benzoates are generally considered safe for humans and are somewhat biodegradable, making them more sustainable compared to some other preservatives. However, they still pose some toxicity risks to aquatic life in high concentrations.
8. Citronella Oil: This natural essential oil is biodegradable and considered safe for the environment when used in small amounts. Citronella oil is commonly used as a natural insect repellent and has relatively low environmental impact compared to synthetic ingredients. However, it can be an irritant in higher concentrations.
