Product details

Project Reef SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is a Hawaii Reef Act 104–compliant, non-nano zinc oxide mineral sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection while being vegan, ocean-friendly, and water-resistant.

This lightweight mineral lotion uses non-nano zinc oxide as its active ingredient to shield skin from UVA and UVB rays without chemical filters. Formulated to meet Hawaii's Reef Act 104 standards, it avoids ingredients that harm coral and marine life, and it arrives in responsibly sourced, recycled packaging sized for travel. Smooth and non-greasy, the 3.4 fl oz tube is designed for easy application on the go—whether you’re snorkeling, surfing, or spending a day at the beach.

How does Project Reef protect my skin while staying reef-friendly?

Project Reef relies on mineral-based zinc oxide that sits on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UV rays instead of absorbing them like chemical sunscreens. This method provides broad-spectrum coverage without oxybenzone, octinoxate, or other ingredients restricted by Hawaii’s reef-protection law.

  • Active ingredient: non-nano zinc oxide for physical UV protection
  • Free from oxybenzone and octinoxate, complying with Reef Act 104
  • Vegan formula with no animal-derived components
  • Broad-spectrum SPF 50 for daily and outdoor use

Is this sunscreen easy to apply and suitable for family use?

The lotion is lightweight and non-greasy, formulated to spread smoothly for even coverage and minimal white cast when fully rubbed in. It’s marketed as safe for all ages, though you should consult a pediatrician for infants under six months.

  • Non-greasy, fast-absorbing mineral lotion
  • Designed for all ages with standard pediatric guidance for very young infants
  • Use liberally and reapply after 80 minutes in water or heavy sweating
  • Rub in thoroughly to reduce visible residue and ensure coverage

How water-resistant and travel-ready is this sunscreen?

Project Reef offers up to 80 minutes of water resistance, helping maintain protection during swimming and active outdoor play. The 3.4 fl oz tube complies with TSA carry-on rules and fits easily into beach bags, backpacks, and travel kits.

  • Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes during swimming or sweating
  • 3.4 fl oz (100 ml) tube meets TSA liquid limits for carry-on
  • Compact, leak-resistant packaging designed for travel and adventure
  • Recycled and ocean-bound plastic materials for reduced environmental impact

What environmental and packaging benefits does Project Reef provide?

The formula avoids environmentally harmful chemical UV filters and uses a reef-safe mineral active ingredient. Packaging is produced from ocean-bound and post-consumer recycled plastics to lower waste and support sustainable sourcing.

  • Made to meet Hawaii Reef Act 104 environmental standards
  • Non-nano zinc oxide minimizes nanoparticle concerns
  • Tubes built from ocean-bound and post-consumer recycled plastics
  • Vegan and cruelty-conscious formulation choices

Who is this for: Project Reef SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is ideal for outdoor lovers and conscious travelers who want strong sun protection without chemical filters that harm coral reefs. Choose this lotion if you need a travel-ready, broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen that balances performance with environmental responsibility—perfect for beach days, water sports, family outings, and anyone prioritizing reef-safe ingredients and recycled packaging.
