WHY BLUE IS BETTER

Our oceans are at risk, with experts

predicting there will be more plastic

than fish in them by 2050. Coral reefs

and animals are dying. So is there

anything you can do? Shell, yeah!

Reducing plastic use, recycling, and

being conscious of ingredients that

get into the water supply can all make

an impact. Here are some buys

that’ll help you dive right in.

Studies have linked

the sunscreen

ingredients oxyben-

zone and octinoxate

to coral reef dam-

age (prompting

Hawaii to approve

a ban on them by

2021). This ’screen

(and all Bare

Republic products)

uses reef-safe

mineral blockers.

the sea s is in One

tion and restoration.

Most of Captain

Blankenship’s line

comes in recyclable

glass bottles. But

tubs can be slip-

pery, so the compa-

ny opted to house

its shampoo—in-

fused with cleansing

sea salt—in a show-

er-safe bottle made

entirely from ocean-

bound plastic.

One hundred per-

cent of sales of this

insanely cute arame

seaweed and exfoli-

ating sea salt soap

the Rob Stewart

Foundation, which

works to end shark

finning (the cruel

practice of cutting

off the animal’s fin

to sell, usually for

soup—a delicacy in

China—and throw-

ing the still-living

shark back in the

water to die).

It makes sense that

a Malibu-based

care for the ocean.

That’s why 20 per-

ed to Mission Blue

gentle cleanser; it’s

spiked with hand-

harvested Patago-

nian seaweed (it’s

an invasive species,

so the brand is help-

ing by removing it).
