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.

Happy 2019 from the top of Maunakea, you think the sun feels hot at the beach, try 14,000 feet. The Hawaii UV index is one of the highest in the world. We designed Kōkua for the most extreme conditions. #fullyprotected #noeyesting #bestzincsunscreen

Last summer this stellar human being reached out to us asking for help protecting his nose and face (which was getting chronically burned with other sunscreens). Six months and a couple tubes of Kōkua later he is still shredding, only now healed and protected by 25% non nano zinc that doesn’t come off under the most extreme conditions and on the most extreme surfers.
