Ushering in the age of ocean-friendly sunscreen: How Botanical Brands are leading market innovation
As global awareness of energy conservation, carbon reduction, and environmental protection continues to increase, consumers are paying more attention to natural ingredients and their environmental impact when choosing beauty and skin care products. However, ocean-friendly sunscreen products are becoming the new market standard as summer approaches. This shift is not only changing consumer choices, it’s also prompting botanical beauty brands to incorporate ocean-friendly properties into their sun care products. This article explores the innovation trends of Botanical brands in the field of ocean-friendly sunscreen, focusing on UNICARE Biotechnology’s leading practices in this field.
The Importance of Ocean-Friendly Sunscreen:
Even trace amounts of harmful sunscreen ingredients can severely impact marine ecosystems. According to the Coral Reef Alliance, one drop of harmful sunscreen can cause lasting bleaching effects on ocean corals, highlighting the importance of choosing harmless ingredients. In the face of the global coral reef bleaching crisis, it has become a brand’s responsibility to choose ingredients that do not harm the ocean.
Ocean-friendly sunscreen innovations from a Botanical brand:
As ocean-friendly sunscreens become a major trend this summer, more and more consumers advocating a natural lifestyle are choosing products with plant-based ingredients and environmentally friendly formulas. Plant-based brands should avoid using chemicals that are harmful to coral reefs and instead follow the lead of international brands and launch sunscreens that contain plant extracts and ocean-friendly claims. Let’s explore ocean-friendly sunscreen products from renowned plant-based brands:
