6,000 tons of sunscreen enter Hawaii waters annually—a number equivalent to the weight of 93 humpback whales. And the term "reef safe" has not been adopted by the FDA and is still not a regulated term, so generally, companies use the term to mean any product that does not contain oxybenzone and octinoxate. However, the only proven safe ingredients for coral reefs are non-nano zinc oxide and non-nano titanium dioxide. That's why the only active ingredient in Little Hands Hawaii products is non-nano zinc oxide. By paying strict attention to the purity and quality of every ingredient in their formula, they're proof that protecting yourself from the sun and preserving the environment go hand in hand.
Little Hands Hawaii
The story of Little Hands Hawaii starts with a mother searching for sunscreens that would be safe for her daughter and for the earth.
As a mother and registered nurse, founder Rosalyn Ardoin knew there had to be a better way to protect our skin. So, she came up with a sunscreen recipe in her own kitchen that would later turn into Little Hands Hawaii. After more research surfaced about the effects of chemical sunscreens on coral reefs, her husband, Mike joined the company to be a part of the movement for safe sunscreen.
Grounded in the spirit of ohana, Little Hands Hawaii is on a mission to protect our health while preserving precious marine life.
