Which sunscreens do not contain oxybenzone?
The ingredient oxybenzone is found in many sunscreens. It is a filter that, in combination with another filter, protects the skin from UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. It is used in combination with another filter because oxybenzone alone is not a strong filter. This filter is very harmful to coral health in the ocean. Oxybenzone inhibits coral growth and disrupts their DNA. The coral's ability to recover is compromised. The coral bleaches and dies off.
With a wide range of sunscreen, we present a selection of sunscreens without oxybenzone:
