Check out some of our Hawaii Sunscreen Reviews for our all natural mineral sunscreen:

Reviews for our 3 oz tube mineral sunscreen SPF 30:

This product arrived quickly and is just what I was looking for in an organic sunscreen.
I wore it when in direct sun for hours both walking around outside and at the beach without getting sunburned.
Goes on smooth and covers the body well. Smells good. Protects the skin from the sun.
The amount of zinc oxide contained in Raw Love indicates it is very effective, which is why I, with my sensitive skin, was able to remain outside without getting a sunburn.
This is an excellent all natural mineral sunscreen, and it comes in a super cute, easy to use tube! I was out working in my yards for a few hours and no sunburn. Overall, I am very pleased and will buy again.
This stuff has been great. I moved over to mineral sunscreen a few years ago and will never look back. This stuff works well, I have no burns, plus it is much safer on the body & environment around us. Looking at the ingredients, there is nothing weird & lots of healthy oils that help with spreading this on your skin. This stuff is great, I’ll be buying more.
The product itself is great, works as it’s supposed to and feels and smells wonderful.

Reviews for our mineral sunscreen tins with SPF 35:

My grandchild is very fair complexioned. I am a nurse and wanted the safest sunscreen available for her. This product contains the purest ingredients and the most effective ingredients without adding unknown or unwanted components. It works very well when applied without adding chemicals to my baby’s delicate skin. Highly recommended product.
This worked well and stayed on well in water. Blends in pretty well with your skin color–not like a mime’s face paint. Good for reef areas including some of the Hawaiian islands which now require reef-safe sunscreens even when not swimming.
Smells great, easy to put on, once rubbed in there is minimal white cast, and works well for sun protection
It feels lighter than my shea butter lotions, but still leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth
I just want to thank you at Raw Love Sunscreen for creating such a wonderful product! Non-nano mineral sunscreen that blends in and reef safe is ridiculously hard to find. And it smells terrific, not like beachy coconut! I ordered on Amazon. Was informed it might be arriving too late, but you sweetly managed to get it to me just in time! Love the tin too. Hope to get more once I’ve run out. Hope you thrive and continue to put out such magic.
Works on darker skin and reef safe! Rub it in and protect your skin. I use this jar for my body and the stick for my face
I forgot that this has essential oils, so when I spread some on my face on a hot day at the beach, I was delighted! Spent a week at a “Mexican Riviera” resort in July–90+ F and super-sunny–and this was my favorite sunscreen. I’m fair-skinned & between this, floppy hat, and sun shirts, I did not burn! Success never smelled so good! The tin works great, no leaking in my bag even after being outdoors for hours. Its solid form becomes nice & soft in the heat, and it runs in nicely.
I was looking for a reef safe sunscreen to wear while on vacation. After looking at a few I decided on this one. And oh my ghoul, it was the best choice I made. First off it smells super good, it’s the perfect size for travel, and best of all it works. The size is a great for travel and after using it everyday for 2 weeks I have plenty of it left.
I have been searching for a sunscreen that is gentle on my skin and isn’t full of nasty ingredients. Being a redhead, my skin is very sensitive so not all products work for me. I was introduced to Raw Love products by a trusted source and I was so excited to order! I am pleased to say that I am very happy with this sunscreen, it has a pleasant smell and I feel like it provides great coverage on my skin. I highly recommend!

Reef Safe Sunscreen

The #1 reason we created Raw Love reef safe sunscreen: To help preserve and protect coral reefs and marine life on planet earth.

And we’ve come a long way from our first batch of reef safe sunscreen! We now offer a full line of reef safe sunscreen products with various options to meet your needs and preferences.

In 2015, Jenna Davis created Raw Love reef safe sunscreen on the island of Maui, Hawaii. As an avid PADI dive master and SNUBA instructor — constantly on the water and in the sun — she wanted to protect her skin and tattoos. But she also wanted to avoid chemical sunscreens that stung her eyes and had potential to harm the reef and her body.

Sun protection is something we all use on a regular basis, and as Jenna began to question the consequences of using various sunscreens, she decided to take action.

Combining her past studies in marine biology and months of research and trials, Jenna developed an eco-friendly, reef friendly, biodegradable, moisturizing mineral sunscreen. You will feel protected and your skin will feel loved when using this reef-friendly sunscreen. Check out our sunscreen ingredients—safe for the entire family.

She designed a non-toxic sunscreen with high quality ingredients that is safe for everyday use. Raw Love is just starting on an exciting journey into educating and promoting healthy living.

Fast forward, now it’s 2024 and Raw Love reef safe sunscreen is sold across the USA, throughout Hawaii and with retailers around the globe. We are so proud of how far we’ve come as a reef safe sunscreen!

Hawaii Reef Safe Sunscreen

Make the Switch: Embrace Hawaii Reef Safe Sunscreen for a Healthier Ocean

Are you ready to make a positive change for both your skin and our oceans? Switching from chemical spray sunscreen to a natural, reef-safe mineral sunscreen is a crucial step towards protecting Hawaii’s delicate marine ecosystems. As the first mineral sunscreen in Hawaii to become FDA compliant, Raw Love Sunscreen is here to guide you through this transition with ease and confidence.

Why Switch to Hawaii Reef Safe Sunscreen?

Protecting Our Reefs

Hawaii’s coral reefs are vibrant ecosystems teeming with life. However, these reefs are under threat from harmful chemicals found in many conventional sunscreens. Oxybenzone and octinoxate, common ingredients in chemical sunscreens, have been shown to cause coral bleaching, DNA damage, and even the death of coral larvae. By switching to a Hawaii reef safe sunscreen like Raw Love Sunscreen, you’re helping to preserve these essential underwater habitats.

Healthier for Your Skin

Mineral sunscreens use natural active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. This physical barrier is not only effective but also gentle, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb into the skin and can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. With Raw Love’s natural formulation, you can enjoy the sun without compromising your skin’s health.

Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable

Raw Love Sunscreen is committed to environmental sustainability. Our formula is free from harmful chemicals, non-nano, and biodegradable, ensuring that it doesn’t harm marine life or accumulate in the environment. By choosing a reef-safe sunscreen, you’re reducing your ecological footprint and contributing to a cleaner, healthier planet.

Tips for Transitioning to Mineral Sunscreen

1. Understand the Application Process

Mineral sunscreens can have a different texture compared to chemical sprays. They might feel thicker or leave a slight white cast on the skin. To apply effectively, warm a small amount between your fingers and gently rub it into your skin in sections. This helps achieve even coverage and minimizes any white residue.

2. Reapply Regularly

Just like any other sunscreen, it’s important to reapply mineral sunscreen every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating. Remember to cover all exposed skin, including often-missed areas like the ears, back of the neck, and tops of the feet.

3. Embrace the Benefits

As you switch to a reef-safe sunscreen, take a moment to appreciate the broader impact of your choice. You’re not only protecting your skin from harmful UV rays but also contributing to the preservation of Hawaii’s stunning marine biodiversity. This conscious decision is a win-win for you and the environment.

Why Choose Raw Love Sunscreen?

FDA Compliant

Raw Love Sunscreen is proud to be the first mineral sunscreen in Hawaii to achieve FDA compliance. This means our product meets stringent safety and efficacy standards, giving you peace of mind with every application.

Natural and Nourishing Ingredients

Our formula is enriched with natural ingredients like organic coconut oil and shea butter, providing hydration and nourishment for your skin. These wholesome ingredients work in harmony with zinc oxide to offer broad-spectrum protection without the use of synthetic additives.

Passionate About Preservation

Founded in the heart of Hawaii, Raw Love Sunscreen is deeply committed to protecting the natural beauty of our islands. Our mission is to provide effective sun protection while fostering a greater awareness of the importance of reef-safe products.

Join the Movement

Making the switch to a Hawaii reef safe sunscreen is more than just a personal choice; it’s a commitment to the health of our planet. By choosing Raw Love Sunscreen, you’re supporting a movement towards more sustainable and eco-friendly sun protection. Together, we can ensure that future generations can enjoy the vibrant coral reefs and pristine beaches that make Hawaii so special.

So, are you ready to embrace a healthier, more sustainable sunscreen? Make the switch today and experience the Raw Love difference. Your skin—and the ocean—will thank you.

Visiting Hawaii – A Few Tips For Your Vacation

Reef Safe Sunscreen

Visiting Hawaii can be a life changing experience for you and your family. The warm tropical ocean and beautiful sandy beaches are welcoming and beautiful.

No matter which Hawaiian island you choose to visit, there here are some of our best tips for making the most of your visit.

Research activities before your trip to determine some of the activities in Hawaii you’d like to experience. Some of the most popular activities for travelers are: Snorkeling, Boat Cruises, Paddle Boarding, Surfing, and Hiking. Each island has different opportunities for surfing, hiking, snorkeling, etc. Some spots are suitable for beginners where others are recommended for people with intermediate or advanced experience. Always be aware of your own skill level and those of others in your group. Small children need to be continuously watched near the ocean.
Check out the various accommodation options to find the best choice for your needs on the island you’re visiting. You’ll see a wide range of resorts and hotel choices — from ultra luxurious Ritz-Carlton properties, Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott properties — as well as lower budget options from AirBnb or VRBO or private vacation rental companies in Hawaii. Your accommodations are important so it’s best to start looking at least 6-12 months early to get the best price and options for your travel group.
Determine your transportation options. If you’re staying in resort area that has everything you need, you might opt to use Uber instead of renting a car for your entire trip. There are major car rental companies as well as smaller local island rental car companies that may have cheaper and budget rental cars if that suits you.
Most visitors to Hawaii aren’t yet aware that we have a serious sunscreen ban in effect. The state of Hawaii banned sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate and Maui County has its own sunscreen ban as well. We don’t allow chemical sunscreens to be sold or used in Hawaii, however many people are ignorant of that and continue brining in toxic chemical sunscreens that are harmful to marine life. Please kokua and pick up your favorite reef safe mineral sunscreen for your Hawaii vacation.
