[ Ссылка ] this video I share at least ten things anyone should know before visit the US Virgin Islands.
A lot of you may not know this, but non-reef safe sunscreen is actually illegal in the USVI. In July of 2019, legislation was passed in the territory outlawing the sale and usage of sunscreen that is harmful to the marine life, and potentially harmful to you! The ban went into effect in March of 2020 and, well, there was kind of a lot of other things going on at the time that prevented it from getting proper coverage (pun intended) or enforcement. Ahem, COVID.
First off, always check the ingredients before tossing that “reef friendly” sunscreen into your shopping cart…Virtually or otherwise. The big ones to look out for are the Toxic Three O’s:
Oxybenzone
Octinoxate
Octocrylene
If the sunscreen you are pondering has any of these on the active ingredients list on the back of the tube, place it back on the shelf and keep browsing. A few other notable no no ingredients that may be a bit less common but should still be avoided are:
Homosalate
4-methylbenzylidene camphor
PABA
Parabens
Triclosan
