Reef safe sunscreen

Coral reefs the world over are in dire need of protection and conservation. In several countries the use of certain ingredients in sunscreen lotions have been banned and more is being tested to establish their effect on coral reefs, fish and other marine organisms. Sunscreens also featured in environmental research. In 2008 a study revealed that the active compounds in sunscreens can cause coral bleaching and these compounds also promote viral infections in coral animals.

Kerry Taylor of Ballitoville, in KwaZulu Natal, asked herself: “ If it does this to coral, what is it doing to my body?”

She started doing research and over the next 2 years of testing her product, she also took notice of the effects on the skin. The result was a sunscreen that has all-natural ingredients, so there is no harm to the skin and wouldn’t have any effect on coral reef or fish.
“I did try it out on my family first. It has not been tested on animal but was tested on surfers, divers, boat skippers and captains, she said.

The main component is a non-nano zinc. These zinc particles cannot be absorbed into the body because the particles are to big. Once applied to your skin it forms a barrier that reflects the sun. The combination of all the natural ingredients with beeswax offers a healthy, waterproof and reef safe sun screen. Other natural ingredients include carrot seed oils, Shea Butter, Jojoba and coconut oil.These natural ingredients is added  to feed and nourish your skin. It is very easy to use and does not cause blocked pores and acne.

Ray block is packed in small aluminium tins that are fully recyclable. “I have my own personal war on plastics. I chose aluminium tins that can be recycled and does not have the devastating effect on wildlife and our oceans.” Plastic pollution in our oceans and landfills have become a major problem. Packaging plays a huge role in this crisis.

For more information on Ray Block sunscreen and Tombitrade wax wraps contact Kerry Taylor of Tombitrade. You can find on Instagram: @tombitrade.

Note: RAYBLOCK contains only natural products: Non-nano Zinc oxide, Jojoba and coconut oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter and Carrot seed oil.
