  • #Repost @manda ・・・ CALL TO ACTION: Most of us know about the recent banning of oxybenzone and octinoxate in Hawaii to protect the reefs. But there is growing concern about their negative effects on human health as well. • These two active ingredients were originally reviewed and approved for human use 40 years ago based on the data presented in 1978. Since then, over 200 articles have been published in peer-review journals demonstrating their toxicity to not only the environment and sea life but even on newborn humans and more. (Swipe to see the effects on female reproductive health. There is another graphic coming soon outlining effects to male health.) • Please follow the link in our profile to learn more and sign a petition to submit a formal Citizen’s Position to the U.S Food & Drug Administration to reopen the Human Safety of Oxybenzone and Octinoxate regarding its safety to Public Health. 🙏 🐠 👶 #mandanaturals • 📷 @hisarahlee // @bantoxicsunscreens @safesunscreencoalition #oxybenzonefree #octinoxatefree #reefsafe #bantoxicsunscreens #chemicalsunscreen #hawaii #sunscreen

  • Taking in a calm before the storm moment. Remember, Kauai floods was a Category Nothing. Stay safe our beloved Hawaii friends. 🙏🏼 . #hurricanelane #hurricane #lane #hawaii #kauai
  • Are toxic ingredients for certain sunscreen brands purposefully being blocked out by the price label? Check your local shop. And note, brands usually hire a distribution co. to price/stock the shelves for large stores / box chains. Notice any theme in the brands that do this and their parent company? (This is in #Hawaii). Let us know! . . #bantoxicsunscreen #oxybenzonefree #hawaii #reefsafe
