At the Sunscreen Swap, you’ll discover:

  • Which sunscreen ingredients can harm coral reefs and marine life
  • What to look for in a truly reef-safe sunscreen
  • How everyday choices can support healthier oceans

Our goal is education — not judgment — and creating space for thoughtful, ocean-loving conversations. Hey, we’ve all scratched our heads reading labels and trying to figure out what’s reef-safe and what isn’t, and it can be confusing! Some brands are a bit sneaky and lead us to belileve they’re reef-friendly but in actuality they do still contain ingredients harmful to coral reefs and marine life. We dug in and did the research to try and distill it down into quick and easy cheat sheets.


How the Sunscreen Swap Works

Bring your current sunscreen with you

We’ll help check whether it’s reef-safe

If it’s reef-safe — great choice!

If it’s not reef-safe, we’ll ask you to “swap” its use to non-ocean settings (like your yard or pool)

You’ll receive a free sample of a reef-safe sunscreen (while supplies last)
