Sol de Ibiza Natural Sunscreen is better than ‘normal’ sunscreens on a number of fronts. Most sunscreens contain lots of manmade chemicals, some of which are harmful to the environment and some which are harmful to your skin and your health. The problem is that, whilst these chemicals may be good at protecting you from the sun, not much consideration is given to their wider impact. Many of the ingredients in conventional sunscreens have been linked to coral bleaching¹, a process where stressed corals expel algae that lives inside their tissues. These algae are crucial to the corals health and provide up to 90% of the corals energy. As a result of expelling the algae, the coral turn white, hence why the process is called bleaching. Whilst bleaching doesn’t kill the coral, it does have a dramatic impact on their growth rate, reproductive capacity, susceptibility to disease and ultimately increases their mortality rate. The degraded coral reefs are then less able to support the important ecological infrastructure that depends on them, having a knock-on effect on thousands of ocean species and the wider marine environment. Many chemicals in conventional sunscreens can also cause irritation for people with sensitive skin. On top of this, most sunscreens are designed to be absorbed by the skin, and subsequently chemicals can be passed into the bloodstream. Some of these chemicals have been linked to health issues such as allergies, hormone imbalances and even cancer². The good thing is, Sol de Ibiza Sunscreen doesn’t contain any of these harmful chemicals. It’s made using 100% natural ingredients, all of which are safe for the environment and your health. Plus, it’s packaged in a recyclable aluminium tin, rather than a plastic bottle.

Sol de Ibiza Natural Vegan Sunscreen is contained in a recyclable cardboard tube.

Once opened, Sol de Ibiza has a shelf life of 12 months. If the 12 months is coming to an end and you’re in the middle of a bleak sunless winter, and you haven’t used all of the sunscreen yet, you can use it as a moisturiser to finish it off. Once you are finished with the product, the cardboard tube can be composted or recycled. As recommended with all sun care products, you should never use them after their shelf life has expired.
