BobNoxious Posted July 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I read that St. Thomas USVI has banned non-reef friendly sunscreens. Has anyone ever seen an issue when leaving the ship with a sunscreen that may or may not be reef friendly? I use Sun Bum. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLcruisergrl Posted July 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It’s best to just buy a bottle of the reef safe. We use the white Sun Bum or the Bare Republic. I know it’s ugly and inconvenient, but it’s for the health of the reef. Unless you only plan on going to a swimming pool or not going in the water at all, why would you not comply? You’re damaging the environment.The regular Sun Bum is not reef friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are seen using it at a beach then yes, it could be a problem since protecting the coral is all-important, especially on the busiest cruise ports… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
