Consider The Impact Your Sunscreen Has

Earth Day is a time to celebrate our beautiful planet and commit to protecting it. For some it’s a reminder on the positive effects of getting outside and a chance to change your daily routine, like walking or riding to work. Even just getting outdoors to breathe the air and take in the natural beauty of our planet is enough.  For others, it’s a chance to get more active in the everyday fight against climate change. This could range from increasing the use of recycled materials, to picking up litter on your local walks and trails, to joining in with larger efforts like Protect Our Winters.

At Dermatone, our company’s mission is to inspire people to go outside and explore, and protect their healthy skin. So Earth Day is another chance for us to consider the impact our products have on our body and our environment.

Here’s a few examples:

Dermatone is Climate Neutral Certified

Climate Neutral Certified

Last August, Dermatone became Climate Neutral Certified. This means we measure our carbon footprint across our entire business – from manufacturing and packaging to transportation. We then take action to reduce those emissions wherever possible. Finally, we offset any remaining emissions by investing in high-quality, verified carbon offset projects. By choosing Dermatone, you're not just protecting your skin, you're supporting a brand that's dedicated to environmental responsibility.

Our Sunscreen Lotions Are Oxybenzone Free and Octinoxate Free

The ocean absorbs more than just sunshine and many traditional sunscreens contain chemical UV filters, like oxybenzone and octinoxate. These chemicals, while effective at sun protection, can be harmful to coral reefs. Studies have shown these chemicals contribute to coral bleaching, a devastating phenomenon that threatens the health of our oceans.

We Developed A Line of Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen Products

Dermatone is proud to offer a range of reef-safe mineral sunscreens formulated with mineral UV filters, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These mineral ingredients sit on the surface of the skin, physically blocking UVA and UVB rays. Not only are they reef-friendly, but they're also a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

We Encourage Outdoor Activities To Help Reduce Stress and Increase Awareness

April is stress awareness month and we want to reduce the stress on your body, your mind, and the planet. That is why we encourage everyone to get outside and stay protected with products you trust. Just ten minutes outdoors can reduce stress, and improve mood.

Dermatone: safe for your skin, safe for the planet

Dermatone is committed to developing sunscreens that are effective, safe for your skin, and the planet. Look for our "Reef-Safe" label when heading to the ocean this summer. By making small changes in your sun protection routine, you can make a big difference for the planet we all call home.

So this Earth Day, let's celebrate our planet together by making conscious choices that benefit both your health and the health of our shared home.
