In reply to Flo. Flo, not yet. It's hard to find accurate information as so many sources are conflicting. This sunscreen uses the new generation of UV filters like Uvinul. If you want to use these filters, you can find them cheaper in Asian sunscreens.

In reply to Gio. Did you make a post? What are your thoughts on Aethic Sôvée Triple Filter Eco-Compatible Sunscreen (SPF 25, 40 and 50)? Lots of info about the product, marine science, etc on their website. Apparently zinc oxide can be damaging to coral, too. They are the world’s first reef and marine-friendly eco-compatible sunscreen, apparently. I've been tempted to try it, but it's so incredibly expensive.

All the best – and thank you for a great blog! /Sanna

In reply to Eva. Eva, hi and thank you so much for sharing that link. That is so interesting to know. And it's another reason to love physical sunscreens, which I prefer to chemical ones. :)
