              Bad for Coral Reefs
            
            
                Reef safe products avoid ingredients linked to coral reef damage, particularly chemical UV filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate. While 'reef-safe' standards vary by region and research is ongoing, choosing these products helps minimize potential environmental impact.
