In the past few years, the safety of sunscreen usage has become a tremendously hot topic. And for good reasons: Most of the ingredients found in traditional sunscreens are incredibly bad for us.

.All sunscreens are not created equally. In fact, a 2019 report from Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that nearly two-thirds of sunscreens don’t work and/or contain concerning ingredients that are readily absorbed by the body. In fact, a recent study found that sunscreen chemicals hit the bloodstream within a day of using them, and at levels high enough to prompt a government investigation on safety. So if you gave never taken a moment to think about your sunblock and what its doing to your health and the environment, how its impacting aquatic life and coral reefs.....it's time you should. Please.
And here’s the part that really gets me: About half of the beach and sport sunscreens sold in the U.S. that EWG analyzed would not be allowed on the market in Europe due to inadequate protection against UVA rays.
