Is the SPF 50 Original considered "Biodegradable"? We require both Reef-Safe and Biodegradable.

Hey Josh! Our products are currently not tested for biodegradability, but that being said, we work hard to ensure that all of our products are kind to the earth 💛 All of our sunscreens are considered to be non-damaging to reef and marine life as they are oxybenzone and octioxate free. We also offer Mineral sunscreen products that are chemical-active free! We know there are currently many regulations set forth by various vacation destinations, and our Mineral sunscreens should meet their requirements. However, if you have any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out! We try to stay as up-to-date as possible and work hard to ensure we're putting the best products out there! If you have any other questions, we're here for ya :) XO, SB

What makes Sun Bum 50 reef safe? I noticed that it’s not indicated on the product, only in the advertisement.

Hi Sue, thanks so much for reaching out! Currently, the terms "Reef Safe" or "Reef Friendly" are not defined or regulated by the FDA. To help make it clearer, we are choosing to reference Hawaii Act 104 which has barred the use of Oxybenzone and Octinoxate. We are proud to say that all of our formulas meet this standard and do not contain Oxybenzone or Octinoxate. You can learn more here! https://www.sunbum.com/pages/hawaii-act-104-reef-compliant If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hey@sunbum.com :) xo, SB
