Protect our Ecosystems and the Environment: Why You Should Choose Natural Sunscreen over Chemical Sunscreen

As we all know, protecting our skin from harmful UV rays is essential for maintaining good health. But, have you ever considered the impact your sunscreen choices have on the environment? Chemical sunscreens, which are widely used and easily accessible, have been shown to have a detrimental effect on our oceans and marine life. In contrast, natural sunscreens are a safer and more sustainable option for both our skin and the environment. In this blog post, we'll explore why you should choose natural sunscreen over chemical sunscreen and why Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is a great choice for protecting both your skin and the environment.

Chemical sunscreens contain ingredients such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, which have been proven to harm coral reefs and marine life. These chemicals can cause coral bleaching and damage to coral reefs, making them more susceptible to disease. Additionally, chemical sunscreens can also harm fish and other marine life, posing a threat to the entire ecosystem.

On the other hand, natural sunscreens are made with ingredients such as non-nano zinc oxide, which provide broad-spectrum protection without causing harm to the environment. Non-nano zinc oxide does not penetrate the skin and does not harm marine life. Additionally, natural sunscreens are biodegradable, meaning they break down quickly and do not linger in the environment.

Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is a great choice for those looking to protect both their skin and the environment. Our sunscreen is made with only one UV active ingredient; Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, and zero chemicals, making it safe for both you and the environment.

Choosing natural sunscreen over chemical sunscreen is not only better for your skin but also for the environment. Chemical sunscreens can harm marine life and coral reefs, while natural sunscreens are biodegradable and do not harm the environment. Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is a high-performance, natural, and safe sunscreen that protects both you and the environment. So, make the switch to natural sunscreen this summer and protect your skin and the environment.
