Reef Safe Sunscreen

3/3/2019

Have you been wondering about reef safe sunscreen?
What is it and why should you should you use it?

You may have read that Hawaii and Key West are implementing bans on the sale of certain sunscreen ingredients in order to protect their reefs. Many scientists now believe that oxybenzone and octinoxate are killing the world's coral reefs. I've rounded up a few articles below with great information and lists of various products that do not contain these two ingredients, or the nano particles that are also harmful. And guess what? The ingredients that are not good for the health of our oceans can impact our health as well.

Over the last few years, I have been trying many brands of cleaner, healthier beauty products. One brand I have come to love is Beautycounter. I love it so much that I signed on to be a consultant! If you are looking for some clean beauty swaps, I highly recommend Beautycounter. Some of the best products for travel are highlighted below. All are available at
www.beautycounter.com/jennifergreene1 .

The Best of Beautycounter Set has four of their best selling products in travel sizes. These will all fit in your TSA bag with room to spare. The Cleansing Balm, Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion, and No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil are wonderful for post-flight rehydrating. I like to layer the oil and the lotion for maximum moisturizing. And how great to have a travel size mask! I find I usually have the time while traveling for this 10 minute mask and love having a travel size ready to pack.

The Countermatch Discovery Set is perfectly sized for your TSA bag and lets you easily pack a morning and night regimen. If you are traveling somewhere far-flung, remove your makeup and apply the serum layered with the Recovery Sleeping Cream at the start of your long haul flight. You will feel terrific when you arrive!

The Travel Body Essentials set is made up of perfect products for those of you who don't like taking a chance on hotel products! I avoid SLS, (sodium lauryl sulfate) which is commonly found in lathering products. SLS is on Beautycounter's Never List, so you will not find it in anything they produce. To see what else they never use see www.beautycounter.com/the-never-list .
