Difference between regular and eco friendly sunscreen

Regular sunscreens contain other ingredients that may irritate sensitive skin or contain harmful microplastics. These sunscreens offer sun protection, they may come at a cost to the environment and your skin.

These are known as “chemical sunscreens.” These sunscreens contain dangerous ingredients like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate that absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, which is released from the skin. Oxybenzone and Octinoxate can contribute to coral bleaching, harming delicate coral reefs.

Eco friendly sunscreens take a different approach to sun protection. They primarily use mineral ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These minerals sit on top of the skin, reflecting UV rays away from the body. This physical barrier approach is considered gentler on the environment and less likely to harm coral reefs.

Biodegradable ingredients

Eco friendly sunscreens contain special ingredients specially designed to break down faster like a fallen leaf decomposing. This natural breakdown process minimizes the sunscreen’s impact on oceans, lakes, and other ecosystems.

Most of them skip the chemicals found in regular versions that can irritate sensitive skin. Instead, they use natural and organic ingredients. These gentler options can calm and nourish sensitive skin, reducing redness and irritation.
