How Using Reef Safe Sunscreen Can Help Save the Oceans - with MyChelle Sun Protection

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Tuesday! School is out for the summer and my family can not be more delighted! We have a lot of travel booked for this short break from school and all of it will be in the sun.



Today I have 3 sunscreen options for you from MyChelle skincare that are REEF SAFE.
What is reef safe and why should you care?

Well, if you live on planet Earth and care anything about having a healthy ocean and planet, choosing reef safe products are for you.

The coral reef is an integral part of the ocean and it's very delicate. The avobenzone or oxybenzone chemical ingredient in many sunscreen products is polluting the ocean water and killing off coral.  On average, a coral will grow .3 - 2 centimeters per year. That's essentially a pinky fingernail of growth.
You can learn more about coral by visiting the NOAA website here.

So how can you do your part in saving the world one ocean at a time? By choosing non chemical sun products. This doesn't just go for the ocean, this goes for rivers, lakes, and streams!

A reef safe product will not have the chemical ingredients and will rely on a natural barrier ingredient like zinc to provide sun protection.

I received these 3 samples from MyChelle and I am in love! The tinted stick is my favorite and then the liquid for face and body.
