Avoid sunscreens that harm the environment

A 2008 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives demonstrated that the ingredients in sunscreen cause coral bleaching, even at low concentrations.  However, there are sunscreen products that are considered safe for the environment.  Earth911.com created a list of eco-friendly sunscreens.*  Some examples of their recommended sunscreens includes: Thinksport Sunscreen SPF 50, True Natural SPF 30 Caribbean Coconut Sunscreen, Kiss My Face Sport Hot Spots Stick Sunscreen SPF 30, Suntegrity SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen for Body, All Terrain AquaSport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30, COOLA Organic Suncare SPF 50, Juice Beauty SPF 30 Sport Moisturizer.
