Is the formula of the Ocean & Mountain SPF30 Lip Balm safe for the oceans and marine environment?

Yes, and a scientific study performed by an independent and specialized laboratory has proven it!

The laboratory carried out tests to evaluate the effect of our Suncare on algae, micro-crustaceans, and coral nubs. These organisms have diverse life cycles and are part of different trophic levels, which helps obtain a representative view of the effects on the ecosystem as a whole.

These tests used our suncare products with the highest concentrations of mineral screens and in extreme conditions: the organisms were put in contact with very high concentrations of the sunscreen products. Then, the laboratory evaluated select parameters and observed that our suncare products had no effect on said organisms (no impact on growth, no impact on coral bleaching).

In this way, we can claim, backed with scientific evidence, that our sunscreens are not ecotoxic.

You will find "Respect the Skin and the Ocean" and "Coral Safe" logos on our containers and tubes, illustrating the results of these skin- and environmental-safety tests.
