Frequently asked about Sunscreen & SPF

What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?

Mineral (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide): sits on top of skin, reflects UV, less likely to irritate. Chemical: absorbed into skin, converts UV to heat. Mineral preferred for sensitive skin and reef-safe.

How much sunscreen should I apply?

Face: roughly 1/4 teaspoon. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors or after swimming/sweating.

Are these reef-safe?

Mineral sunscreens are typically reef-safe. Some chemical sunscreens contain oxybenzone/octinoxate which damage coral — flagged on the product page if reef-safe.
