La Roche Posay Anthelios Kids Gentle Lotion Sunscreen - SPF 50 - 6.7 fl oz: Face, Whole Body, Paraben-Free, Oxybenzone-Free

A: Hello Michey Great question! The term "reef safe" is not a regulated medical or legal term globally, so the answer on if La Roche Posay Anthelios Kids Gentle Lotion Sunscreen SPF 50 6.7 fl oz depends on which standards or local laws you are following: Hawaii Statewide Law (Act 104): This sunscreen IS compliant with the basic statewide law because it does not contain Oxybenzone or Octinoxate. Maui & Hawaii County (Big Island) Laws: This sunscreen IS NOT compliant. As of late 2022, these counties moved to a "mineral-only" standard. They have banned all chemical UV filters, including Avobenzone and Octocrylene (which are in this product). Only sunscreens using Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide are permitted for sale and use in these specific areas. Environmental Standards (HEL List): This sunscreen IS NOT considered reef safe by organizations like the Haereticus Environmental Laboratory (HEL). Their "HEL List" of chemicals that harm marine life includes Octocrylene and Homosalate, both of which are active ingredients in this lotion. Research suggests these chemicals can contribute to coral bleaching and damage the DNA of marine organisms. If you are traveling to a sensitive coral reef destination or an area with strict "mineral-only" laws (like Maui, the US Virgin Islands, or certain marine parks in Mexico), you should choose a mineral-only sunscreen. Look for products where the only active ingredients listed are Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide. We hope this information is helpful and that you can use our products with great success!
