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.

Ultraviolet rays are the light waves right under the violet in the rainbow that are just short enough to make them invisible. UVA waves are longer than the shorter UVB rays, which are mostly responsible for sunburn. UVA penetrates our skin deeper, can damage the skin’s DNA, and plays a major role in skin aging, wrinkling, and cancer. When you see a sunscreen that is “broad spectrum” that means it should be tested according to FDA protocol to protect you not just from UVB but also from UVA rays up to at least 370 nm (nanometers or billionths of a meter) in wavelength. Kōkua Sun Care with 25% non-nano #zinc is a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects beyond the minimum to 375 nm of UVA! Zinc oxide is the single most effective broad spectrum sunscreen ingredient covering the whole UV spectrum. By the way, #happymonday #grateful that the sun is out again and that #hurricanelane was not as bad as we thought! Our hearts are with those on Hawaii Island and Maui who were affected by flooding and fire. …....................................................... 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈☀️#wearsunscreen #reefsafesunscreen #rainbow #uva #uvb #broadspectrum #broadspectrumsunscreen #ultraviolet #ultravioletlight #rainbows #ainahaina #sunsafe #suncare #sunsmart #sunprotection #nonnanozincoxide #kokuasuncare #waikikiroughwaterswim #zincsunscreen #hawaiirainbow

The UV block effect of clouds can vary, but up to 80% of UV rays can make it through! So whatever the weather this weekend #wearsunscreen ☀️🌦🌥 ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️🌤🌤#protectyourskin #spf50 #alohafriday #kokuasuncare #sunprotection #sunsafe #sunsafety #suncare #sunsmart #waikikibeach #hawaiibusiness #ewg #surfinglife #sunscreen #uvrays #broadspectrum We’re there! Instead of free sample packets, we opted for letting swimmers take a full body application from our glass pump bottles. This eliminates waste from packets and allows everyone to experience high performance reef safe protection 🌞🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️#maketheswitch to #reefsafesunscreen #nsss #northshoreswimseries #northshoreoahu #protectouroceans #protectourplanet #waimeabay #ehukai #eliminatewaste wherever #youcan #openwaterswimming #longdistanceswimming #openoceanswim #reefsafe #saveourreefs #lovehawaii #kokuasuncare
