Why Your Sunscreen Matters — For Skin and the Sea
Every time we swim, surf, or rinse off after a day at the beach, the sunscreen we use has an impact far beyond our skin. Research shows that many common chemical UV filters — especially oxybenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene — can harm coral reefs even at tiny concentrations.
