Eilat, Israel’s southernmost city, has presented a landmark sunscreen, Reef Relief, that aims to address the issue of coral bleaching caused by chemicals in sunscreens.

Many sunscreens on the market contain harmful chemicals like oxybenzone, which have contributed to the damage inflicted on coral reefs.

Recognising the importance of coral reefs and the role they play in marine ecosystems, Reef Relief provides a solution that not only protects the skin from UV rays but also nourishes and revitalizes fading reefs.

As well as containing no toxic chemicals, Reef Relief is made up by a bespoke blend of FDA-approved trace minerals that revitalises fading reefs. The lotion has gone through extensive sea life testing and is Ecocert compliant. Eliat is home to the famous shallow water reefs that attract thousands of visitors each year and the hope is that this remarkable new product can inject a lease of life into the marvellous marine habitats that play such an important role in sea life. The game-changing product is currently going through consumer trial but ultimately hopes to identify as the gold standard for reef-protecting sunscreen.
