Reef Safe & Human Safe

The world’s coral reefs are in danger of extinction! We at Kokua Sun Care are committed to contributing to coral reef conservation efforts.  You can feel good about using our 50 SPF/80 minute water resistant premium formula because it has absolutely no harmful chemicals that are toxic to coral reefs or humans, i.e., no chemical sunscreens at all, like oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, or avobenzone, and no chemical fragrances with phthalates, or harsh preservatives like parabens.  We adhere to the strictest guidelines and are not only reef safe, but marine-safe.  We don't have any of the thirty chemicals found in sunscreens and cosmetics that are toxic to marine life.

Why Hawaiian ingredients?

Our Hawaii-grown ingredients come from some of the richest volcanic soil on the planet and have maximum nutrient density adding to their antioxidant power.  These plants have braved the strong oxidizing rays of the tropical Hawaiian sun and have developed powerful antioxidants to protect themselves, which we can use to protect our skin, too.  Our 7 Hawaiian ingredients are exceptionally rich in antioxidants neutralize free radicals that cause DNA damage to our skin.

EWG’s 2019 Guide to Sunscreens is out! Kōkua Sun Care was rated a “1” - the best rating, again this year and selected as one of the best beach and sport sunscreens with excellent UVA and UVB protection. This also makes it ideal for our babies and children along with the facts that it is very water resistant, doesn’t sting eyes, or have any toxic ingredients! ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ The 2019 guide comes after the Food and Drug Administration said earlier this year that 12 of 16 active ingredients in sunscreens have insufficient data from testing to determine whether they can be generally recognized as safe and effective. We use 25% non nano ZINC which is considered safe & effective. ☀️ ☀️ The Environmental Working Group releases an annual list of sunscreens it says are safe after extensive review of a variety of products available to consumers. To rank each product, EWG looks at various factors related to sun protection and the potential health hazard of a product.

Did you know coral reefs might just have the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem on our planet?

The FDA just found that in a single day of chemical sunscreen use, the chemicals can accumulate in a person's bloodstream at potentially unsafe levels. Data about the absorption of chemicals like oxybenzone into the blood is not new. Studies have shown this for many years. Characterizing the presence in our blood of these endocrine disrupting, birth defect causing carcinogens as “potentially” unsafe is an obvious understatement. Avoiding chemical sunscreen and switching to natural zinc sunscreen is not just about the reef and marine life, it’s also about human life. Don’t wait for the FDA to decide that these chemicals are definitely #unsafe and not #gras (generally recognized as safe and effective) and please don’t stop using #sunscreen - no one is asking you to do that. Just make better safer choices for you and your family ♥️ #protectwhatyoulove There are alternatives. #kokuasuncare #wearsunscreen #zincsunscreen #safesunscreen #nooxybenzone #nochemicalsunscreen

Happy Earth Day! Our common love of nature and children enjoying it transcends all. This is our daughter at Kaimana Beach a place we go to sometimes but often avoid because of the shiny sheen of chemical sunscreen floating on the water. The toxic fragrance of the chemicals often wafts through the air as people indiscriminately spray on their SPF. More of it enters bystanders’ lungs and the surrounding environment than it lands on the skin. Does anyone else think that spray sunscreen is the new smoking? There are so many ways to make a difference. One easy way is to choose a sunscreen with just non-nano zinc oxide as the only active ingredient and avoid all chemical sunscreens and harsh marine toxic preservatives like parabens and phenoxyethanol. Let’s protect what we love! 🌎 #earthday2019 #kaimanabeach #protectwhatyoulove #safesunscreen #kokuasuncare #zincsunscreen #mineralsunscreen #reefsafesunscreen #savetheocean #forourfuture

Your sunscreen could be ineffective and poisonous says the FDA in its new proposed regulations. Check out our latest blog post for more details. Link in Bio. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 To sum it up, out of 16 approved active ingredients, the FDA deems only two safe and effective based on available data! Guess which two? There has not been a serious look at sunscreen active ingredients in decades. This long overdue measure could overhaul the industry, make sunscreen labels less misleading and limit or restrict current ingredients. We knew for example that oxybenzone was bad for marine life but there are many studies to show it is bad for human health. Yet another study was published today in the Journal of Reproductive Toxicology showing this chemical can cause birth defects. Don’t wait for the FDA, choose #safesunscreen for yourself, your family, and our planet 🌎 #wearsunscreen #fda #zincoxide #sunsafe #ewg #changeisgood #saveourplanet #saveourreefs #nontoxic #kokuasuncare #reefsafesunscreen #fdaapproved #fdaregulations #sunscreen #nooxybenzone

#Repost @pacificrimconservation with @get_repost ・・・ Albatross are flocking to Oahu, and its not just Laysan Albatross this year. Some of you may remember over the past few months a couple of Black-footed Albatross were hanging around Kaena Point and we are happy to report they were see again yesterday by our staff! Flying together, dancing together, we have our fingers crossed these two have decided to make Oahu their forever home. Visit us at www.pacificrimconservation.org to learn more about our work to save seabirds and Hawaii DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources)! #KaenaBlackfootedAlbatross #OahuSeabirdColony #SeabirdSurveys #SeabirdConservation #RestoringBiodiversity #PacificRimConservation

Gorgeous morning with Waikiki Swim Club at #alamoanabeach #biathlon 🏊‍♀️ ☀️☀️☀️ #mineralsunscreen #wearsunscreen #reefsafesunscreen #broadspectrum #waterresistant #saveourreefs #waikikiswimclub #sportsunscreen #swimmers #runners #hawaiilife We teamed up with @oliveyouwhole for a sunscreen giveaway. Follow the link in OUR BIO and comment on their recent post by tagging a friend or two and you can enter to win 2 tubes of Kōkua Sun Care SPF 50, a super soft Turkish towel and a 100% plant-based konjac facial sponge. Woohoo! Happy Aloha Friday! #sunscreengiveaway #reefsafesunscreen #alohafriday #oliveyouwhole #kokuasuncare #wearsunscreen #sunscreen #giveaway #nooxybenzone #mineralsunscreen Your sunscreen could be ineffective and poisonous says the FDA in its new proposed regulations. Check out our latest blog post for more details. Link in Bio. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 To sum it up, out of 16 approved active ingredients, the FDA deems only two safe and effective based on available data! Guess which two? There has not been a serious look at sunscreen active ingredients in decades. This long overdue measure could overhaul the industry, make sunscreen labels less misleading and limit or restrict current ingredients. We knew for example that oxybenzone was bad for marine life but there are many studies to show it is bad for human health. Yet another study was published today in the Journal of Reproductive Toxicology showing this chemical can cause birth defects. Don’t wait for the FDA, choose #safesunscreen for yourself, your family, and our planet 🌎 #wearsunscreen #fda #zincoxide #sunsafe #ewg #changeisgood #saveourplanet #saveourreefs #nontoxic #kokuasuncare #reefsafesunscreen #fdaapproved #fdaregulations #sunscreen #nooxybenzone Had so much fun today @keikiandplow educating about healthy #reefsafe #sunscreen and enjoying a gorgeous day on the farm!
