When your job is to protect people in and around the water, you bear a unique responsibility to protect the environment itself. Lifeguards face a massive dilemma: the sheer volume of sunscreen required to survive back-to-back outdoor shifts can heavily pollute local aquatic ecosystems. Up to 14,000 tons of sunscreen wash into global coral reefs every single year. Traditional chemical sunscreens contain toxic active ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate. These wash off our skin and cause devastating coral bleaching, DNA damage, and marine life deformities.
