At Newell, we know you want to protect yourself while also protecting the environment, which is why we created our sunscreen formula without certain UV filters suspected of damaging coral reefs and marine life.
In the last 50 years, coral reefs have declined by 50%, and their protection is essential as they play an important role in the health of our planet. To protect the fragile marine ecosystem, the U.S. state of Hawaii passed a law effective January 1st, 2021, banning the use of oxybenzone (benzophenone-3) and octinoxate (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate).
Our formulas no longer contain these filters, and more than 70% of the ingredients are biodegradable.
We continuously evaluate our formulas to further reduce their environmental impact, aiming to offer the highest standards of protection with improved environmental compatibility.
