Sunscreen FAQs

What makes a sunscreen 'reef-safe'?

It means it is free from Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, chemicals shown to cause coral bleaching. Tideglow uses only physical mineral blockers that protect you without harming the marine ecosystem.

How often should I reapply?

We recommend reapplying at least every 2 hours, or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating for maximum protection.
