How it does good
Made with families and reefs in mind
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 only uses 100% natural, non-GMO ingredients that are gentle enough for infants. The essential oils used are natively grown and sourced. Their only active ingredient is non-nano zinc oxide, one of two ingredients proven to be safe for coral reefs.

About the Brand
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.

Love it!
Really love the coverage
United StatesLove this sunscreen stick!!
This sunscreen is great with a slight tint of color, no residue or white cast. It goes on nicely and is even easy to wear with makeup. The completely recyclable package is a plus
United StatesIncredible product!
So happy to find this sustainable alternative to commercial sunscreens that come in impossible-to-recycle plastic packaging. Here in Virginia you can’t recycle plastic squeeze tubes, which is what many tinted sunscreens come packaged in. I have been searching for a more responsible product without compromising sun protection and this is it! I worried the texture of the product would be chalky, but it’s beautifully smooth and just barely melts and glides over your skin to leave a perfectly thin amount of product on your skin. After applying all over my face, I do dab in some areas around my eyelids and nose to make sure it blends evenly, but that’s it! I don’t wear makeup so that’s my entire skincare routine in the morning and it’s simple and easy and looks amazing. I do avoid applying to my neckline because I find that the tint rubs onto the collar of my clothes. The tint has a fantastic blurring effect and covers areas where I have some hyperpigmentation and redness. I have olive toned medium skin, so I’m not sure how the tint would work for fair or dark tones. For me, it’s an all-in-one easy to apply sunscreen and color corrector. It does have a very faint natural scent from one of the ingredients (probably the frankincense) which I don’t mind at all. What a fantastic product, I wish brands like this were mainstream!! Will buy for myself and for friends to spread the word about this amazing sunscreen.
