Why Eco?
Coral Reef Degradation: Chemicals like oxybenzone can damage coral DNA, deform baby corals, and disrupt the symbiotic relationship corals have with algae, accelerating bleaching and eventual death.
Marine Toxicity: Ingredients build up in aquatic ecosystems, negatively impacting the growth and reproduction of marine life ranging from green sea turtles to green algae.
Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3) is a common chemical UV filter. It is increasingly recognized as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) because it is readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Studies suggest it can mimic estrogen, block androgen receptors, and disrupt thyroid and adrenal hormones.
