🪸 Sunscreen helps protect your skin, but some chemical sunscreen ingredients can wash off swimmers and make their way into the ocean, where they may harm coral reefs and other marine life. Choosing a reef-safe option is one way to protect yourself while being a little kinder to the places you swim.
