Because of the harmful effects on reefs, in 2018 Hawai’i passed a ban on sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate – two of the more dangerous ingredients. When choosing a sunscreen we like minerals such as non-nano zinc oxide (or titanium dioxide) in a natural base. AVOID: Oxybenzone • Octinoxate • Octocrylene • Homosalate • Octisalate • Avobenzone • Parabens • Phthalates • Cocamide DEA • Propylene Glycol • Phenoxyethanol • Nano-Particles • BHT • PEGs • Parfum / Fragrance USE: Non-Nano Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide in a natural base. ***Some local brands we use and love are Little Hands Hawaii and Coco Aloha Mahalo for taking the time to care for the ‘aina (land) and moana (ocean) on your travels. The following is what is recyclable on Island: • Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles & jars, corrugated cardboard, brown paper bags, & small metal cans.
