Infused with skin-loving antioxidants like Vitamins C and E, our eco-friendly sunscreen not only protects against UV rays, but also supports a healthy, radiant complexion, perfect for everyday wear, all year long.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Hawaii Act 104 mean?
Hawaii Act 104 bans the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate due to their harmful effects on coral reefs. PoolBar’s sunscreen is fully compliant with this law and safe to use in reef-sensitive environments.
Does eco-friendly sunscreen still offer strong sun protection?
Absolutely. Eco-friendly sunscreens like PoolBar’s offer broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays using safe, effective mineral filters. Just make sure you’re applying enough and reapplying regularly.
How often should I reapply throughout the day?
For maximum protection, reapply every two hours, and 40 minutes if you’ve been sweating or swimming. Additionally, reapply immediately after towel drying.
Should I use sunscreen even on cloudy days?
Yes, it’s important to note that UV rays can penetrate through clouds, with up to 80% of UV rays reaching the Earth’s surface on cloudy days. Therefore, it’s essential to use it even when it’s overcast.
Is mineral sunscreen more eco-friendly than chemical sunscreen?
Yes, mineral sunscreens like those using zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, are generally considered more eco-friendly because they sit on the skin rather than being absorbed and are less likely to harm coral reefs or aquatic life.
Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day?
Yes, even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors. UV rays can still reach your skin and cause long-term damage. Daily SPF is one of the easiest ways to protect your skin and slow down signs of aging.
Does eco-friendly sunscreen have a shorter shelf life?
Nope, if stored properly, eco-friendly sunscreens last just as long as conventional ones. Always check the expiration date and store it away from direct heat or sunlight.
