[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Reef safe” is much more complicated than you’d like to believe - do some research. Ultimately most mineral sunscreens are better than chemical. Nothing is 100% and lots more research needs to be done. Most is now “reef compliant” which means it can be used legally in Hawaii. On that note, the better advice I received was to wear a swim shirt - or wetsuit (waters can be chilly there for extended snorkeling at some of the islands) and I also wore swim tights. This hugely minimizes the amount of sunscreen you really need. I also took Blue Lizard to the Galapagos and hated it, though it’s well reviewed in terms of ingredients. It’s thick and goopy and doesn’t go on well. I prefer Coola or one of the compliant Sun Bums.[/quote] I agree with a rash guard/ tights idea for snorkeling.[/quote]
