Millions of people travel to beaches all over the world. Most of these people wear chemical sunscreen, which dominates the sunscreen market. Chemical sunscreen is defined as any type of sunscreen that contains chemicals; the main three chemicals used are oxybenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene, and they are detrimental to human health and our oceans. Chemicals cause damage to coral reefs and, thus, affect tourism, fisheries, economies, and biodiversity internationally.
