Mindful Sunscreen: Why Choose EcoSunPass-Approved Products
Some chemical UV filters end up in the sea and harm corals and marine life. What's really in a sunscreen, what EcoSun Pass assesses, and how Essere sunscreens are formulated.
When summer comes, protecting your skin is essential, but the environmental impact of sunscreen often gets ignored. Some chemical UV filters can damage marine ecosystems, threatening corals and aquatic life. The EcoSunPass system assesses the environmental compatibility of UV filters by looking at biodegradability, aquatic toxicity and bioaccumulation. Essere sunscreens are EcoSunPass-approved: high-performance protection in light, biodegradable formulas that suit sensitive skin too. Choosing responsible products means protecting your skin without harming the sea.
Mindful Sunscreen: Why Choose EcoSunPass-Approved Products
Every time we dive into the sea, part of our skincare comes with us. In the heat, sunscreen is a must for protecting your skin. But few people know that some substances in UV filters can be dangerous for the marine environment.
What's really in your sunscreen?
Many studies have shown the impact of certain chemical filters, such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, on the health of corals, algae and fish. Some of these ingredients have already been banned in places especially committed to protecting the oceans, like Hawaii and Palau.
What is EcoSunPass?
EcoSunPass is an independent system that assesses the environmental compatibility of the UV filters in sun care products. It analyzes their potential impact on fresh and marine waters using scientific criteria, taking into account:
- biodegradability
- aquatic toxicity
- bioaccumulation
An EcoSunPass-approved product is therefore respectful of aquatic ecosystems.
