Reef-Safe Sunscreen: The Best Choice for Your Skin and the Ocean

Reef-safe sunscreen protects your skin—and the planet.
Many traditional sunscreens contain chemicals that harm coral reefs and marine life. At ZincTime, we promote zinc oxide-based sunscreens for safe, effective protection in and out of the water.

Protect What You Love – Choose Reef-Safe.

Why Chemical Sunscreens Harm the Ocean and Your Skin

Most commercial sunscreens contain oxybenzone and octinoxate, which have been shown to:

  • 🔥 Bleach and damage coral reefs

  • 🐟 Harm marine wildlife including fish and sea urchins

  • 🚫 Cause irritation, breakouts, or hormone disruption in humans

Every time you swim, your sunscreen washes off—and chemical formulas do lasting damage to marine ecosystems.

Why Zinc Sunscreen Is the Best Reef-Safe Option

Reef-safe sunscreens made with non-nano zinc oxide offer:

  • Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection

  • Biodegradable, reef-safe ingredients

  • No absorption into your body—perfect for sensitive skin

  • Water-resistant coverage that lasts

A little zinc goes a long way

The ZincTime Difference

Not all sunscreens are created equal. Thin, runny lotions often wash off quickly, reducing protection and polluting the ocean.

At ZincTime, we focus on high-viscosity zinc formulas that:

  • Stay on longer

  • Provide superior sun protection

  • Are better for you and the reef
