A few years ago, while reporting on an environmental story in Hawaii, I got a shocking tip: There’s no such thing as “reef-safe” sunscreen. Fast forward a few years and it’s looking more and more like that’s true. Before I go any further, know this: Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the US and worldwide, so this isn’t to say you should go without protection. What I am saying is this: The beauty industry loves to market to your emotions — and this one is seeped in controversy. I break this all down with the help of amazing experts in a feature on @bustle . Big thanks to @faith_xue for the edits and assignment and @charlotteparler @ohohorg @dr.coreyhartman for the fresh interviews to add to my reporting 🙏 LINK IN BIO
