Is there some restrictions on type of sunscreen approved in the islands now? Something about reef protection. Some bans showing up in the states. The Key West City Commission voted Tuesday night to ban sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals that have been shown to be damaging to coral reefs. Beginning in January 2021, Key West will ban such sunscreens from sale within city limits — taking a cue from Hawaii, which became the first state to pass a similar ban. https://www.washingtonpost.com/clim...opular-sunscreens-help-keep-coral-alive/Dave
