Mineral Sunscreen Hawaii

best hawaii mineral sunscreen for keikiOur stunning beaches and annual warm weather in Hawaii welcome visitors year-round to frolic and enjoy the ocean and its many adventures. Yet with delicate marine ecosystems, including vulnerable coral reef, protecting both your skin and the ocean in the Hawaiian islands requires consideration. Mineral sunscreens have gained popularity for their reef-safe properties, and among them, Raw Love Sunscreen stands out as the ideal choice for ocean lovers, families, kids, babies, and those leading active lifestyles.

Let’s delve into why Raw Love Mineral Sunscreen is your ultimate companion for sun protection in Hawaii…

The Importance of Choosing and Using Reef Safe Sunscreens in Hawaii

While viewing and observing Hawaii’s abundant marine life while snorkeling and swimming, including vibrant coral reefs, is a treasure and exciting for many, it’s also necessary to respect and preserve this environment. Conventional sunscreens, which are filled with chemicals as their active ingredients, are harming the ocean’s delicate ecosystems in tourist-heavy regions across the globe, including Hawaii.

Research studies indicate that oxybenzone and octinoxate contribute to coral bleaching and disrupt marine life. To help reduce this problem, Hawaii banned the sale of sunscreens containing these harmful chemicals in 2021 and Maui banned the sale of chemical sunscreens the following year, further emphasizing the need for reef-safe sunscreens in Maui and Hawaii.

Raw Love Mineral Sunscreen is a physical sunscreen or true sunblock because it uses natural minerals like zinc oxide to create a protective physical barrier on top of your skin, which reflects and scatters harmful UV rays off the body. Being all natural and using organic ingredients makes Raw Love a fantastic choice for your Hawaii mineral sunscreen. It is gentle on your skin and ideal for children or adults with sensitive skin.

So, next time you’re planning a day out in Hawaii, don’t forget to pack your Raw Love Mineral Sunscreen—yourultimate companion for sun protection in paradise.

Reef Friendly Sunscreen FAQ

reef friendly sunscreen

What should I know about zinc oxide in sunscreen?

Zinc oxide is non-irritating and safe with sensitive skin types. Zinc oxide is used as a skin protectant and anti-irritant with a long history of being used to treat skin irritations and diaper rash. So it’s really perfect in sunscreens!

How does non nano zinc work as sun protection?

An essential mineral, zinc oxide effectively reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays from the sun, which means it provides “broad range coverage” for sun protection. You can see the protection layer created on your skin initially before fully absorbed—a creamy white barrier keeping your skin safe.

What does “non nano” actually mean and why does it matter?

A non-nano particle is larger than 100 nanometers whereas nanoparticles are tiny clumps/crystals of some substance with size ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. One nanometer = one thousandth of a millimeter (a.k.a. ultra-small). Research has shown evidence that some substances may cause health risks when converted to nanoparticles. Consider avoiding skin care products with nanoparticles until further research is available.

What makes a sunscreen safe for corals and our environment?

Mineral-based sunscreens are safe for corals because they don’t contain chemicals that harm sea life. When chemical sunscreens wash off your body when swimming or in the ocean, they may harm aquatic life. Some commonly used chemical sunscreen ingredients cause coral bleaching and may be damaging coral reefs around the globe.

Raw Love reef safe sunscreen does not use any of these damaging ingredients in our sunscreens so they are safe for coral reefs and you.

Harmful sunscreen ingredients – AVOID THESE:
  • BUTYLPARABEN
  • OXYBENZONE / BENZOPHENONE-3
  • 4-METHYLBENZYLIDENE CAMPHOR / 4MBC
  • OCTINOXATE / ETHYLHEXYL METHOOXYCINNAMATE
  • HOMOSALATE
  • AVOBENZONE
  • OCTISALATE
  • OCTOCRYLENE
  • OCTYL SALICYLATE

The best mineral sunscreen for face skin care

At a trade show, I heard from a woman that she had tried dozens of the best mineral sunscreens and none of them worked well for her daily face skin care routine. She told me she had looked everywhere, online and in retail stores, for the best mineral sunscreen for face and body because she really wanted better sun protection for her face — and she only wanted to carry one product that fit easily in her purse.

When I handed her a tube of Raw Love’s newest dreamy lotion formula mineral sunscreen in a tube, that is safe to take on airplanes, by the way, she lit up. It was exactly what she had been searching for.

So which is better? Our fragrance free mineral sunscreen tube or our mineral sunscreen tins with essential oils? You decide… but most people love both!

It turns out, she also fell in love with our original mineral sunscreen with essential oils which gives it a unique uplifting scent of aromatherapy plus awesome sun protection.

How to Choose the Best Kids Mineral Sunscreen

Mineral Sunscreen Is Best for Kids

When it comes to buying a sunscreen, you have a plethora of options touting benefits. However we believe the best sunscreen for kids is mineral sunscreen.

best mineral sunscreen for kids

Why Mineral Sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreen or sunblock is a physical barrier sunscreen which differs from chemical sunscreens in its mode of action. Rather than being absorbed into the skin, mineral sunscreen forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, reflecting and scattering harmful UV rays away from the skin. This makes it an ideal choice for children and anyone with sensitive skin.

Among the myriad of mineral sunscreens available, Raw Love Sunscreen’s newest formulas are especially formulated for kids, babies and sensitive skin.

What makes Raw Love the best mineral sunscreen for children?

Natural and Organic Ingredients: Raw Love Sunscreen prides itself on using natural and organic ingredients, ensuring that your child’s delicate skin is nourished and protected without exposure to harmful chemicals commonly found in conventional sunscreens.

Zinc Oxide as the Active Ingredient: Zinc oxide, a mineral compound, serves as the active ingredient in Raw Love Sunscreen. Renowned for its broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, zinc oxide provides reliable sun protection without the risk of hormone disruption associated with some chemical filters.

Convenient Travel Size Sunscreen Sticks: Raw Love Sunscreen understands the challenges of applying sunscreen to wriggling children. With their convenient travel size sunscreen sticks, application becomes a breeze. Simply glide the stick over the skin for mess-free and efficient coverage, making it perfect for on-the-go adventures.

Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 35: Offering broad-spectrum protection with SPF 35, Raw Love Sunscreen ensures that your child’s skin is shielded from harmful UV radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and long-term skin damage.

Water Resistant for 40 Minutes, Then Re-Apply: Whether your little one is splashing in the waves or running through the sprinklers, Raw Love Sunscreen stays put. With water resistance for up to 40 minutes, it withstands sweat and water exposure, providing continuous protection during outdoor activities. Remember to reapply after swimming or excessive sweating to maintain effectiveness.

Reduce the risk of irritation and allergic reactions when choosing mineral sunscreen for your kids may compared to chemical sunscreen products.

Choosing the best sunscreen for your family’s needs is an important decision because it is applied to the skin. Raw Love mineral sunscreen offers a safe and effective solution to protect your child’s skin from UV damage without exposure to harsh chemicals. With its natural ingredients, zinc oxide formulation, convenient application, and reliable sun protection, Raw Love Sunscreen is your best choice for keeping your little ones safe and sun-kissed all summer long.
