When it comes to sunshine, we’re all about soaking up the good vibes — not the UV damage. But while you’re protecting your skin, have you ever thought about protecting the ocean, too?
Let’s dive into why reef-safe sunscreen and natural sun care matter — for both your skin and the planet.
Reef-safe (or reef-friendly) sunscreens are made without ingredients that harm coral reefs and marine life — like oxybenzone and octinoxate. These chemicals, found in most conventional sunscreens, have been shown to cause coral bleaching, disrupt fish (and human!) hormones, and damage ocean ecosystems.
When you swim, surf, or shower, your sunscreen can wash into the water — and the ocean pays the price. Choosing reef-safe sunscreen means choosing formulas that are mineral-based, biodegradable, and kind to marine habitats.
Instead of harsh chemicals, reef-safe sunscreens use natural minerals like:
Zinc oxide
Titanium dioxide
These ingredients create a physical barrier that reflects UV rays rather than absorbing them into your skin. They start working immediately (no waiting 15 minutes!) and are gentler on sensitive skin.
At Sun Drunk, we believe in clean formulas that care for your skin and the sea — no parabens, no sulfates, no reef-harming chemicals. Just pure protection that feels good and does good.
Eco-conscious living isn’t just a trend — it’s a mindset. By switching to natural sun care, you’re reducing your exposure to toxins and your environmental footprint.
Look for products that are:
Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
Reef-safe and cruelty-free
Packaged in recyclable or reusable materials
Water-resistant without synthetic silicones
Every small switch — from your sunscreen to your UPF shirt — makes a real difference.
When you choose Sun Drunk SPF 50 Mineral Stick, you’re not just protecting your skin from sunburn — you’re helping protect coral reefs, sea turtles, and every wave you love to float in.
It’s sun safety with a conscience: clean, effective, and ocean-kind.
Our mission is simple: to make mindful sun care effortless — stylish protection you’ll actually love to use. From reef-safe SPF to UPF 50+ shirts and beach essentials, every product is designed with the planet in mind.
