Project Reef Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion — 3.4 fl oz Travel Size, Reef-Safe Zinc, Water-Resistant 80 Min

Project Reef SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is a reef-safe, non-nano zinc oxide mineral sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection while meeting Hawaii Reef Act 104 environmental standards.

Designed for beach days, watersports, and daily sun protection, this lightweight lotion uses natural, vegan ingredients and non-nano zinc oxide to block UV rays without harsh chemical filters. The formula is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes and comes in travel-ready, ocean-bound recycled plastic packaging so you can protect your skin and the ocean at the same time.

How does Project Reef protect my skin without harming reefs?

Project Reef relies on mineral-based zinc oxide—non-nano particles that form a physical barrier to reflect UV rays rather than being absorbed into the skin. The product avoids oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other filters linked to coral stress, aligning with Hawaii Reef Act 104 guidance.

• Contains non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection
• Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate, following reef-safe criteria
• Vegan and formulated from naturally derived ingredients
• Packaged in ocean-bound and post-consumer recycled plastic

Is this sunscreen easy to apply and comfortable to wear?

The lotion is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, spreading smoothly for quick, even coverage. While mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a faint white cast, Project Reef’s formulation minimizes residue when rubbed in thoroughly, making it suitable for most skin tones and daily use.

• Lightweight, creamy texture that rubs in well
• Non-greasy finish suitable for face and body
• Reduce visible residue by applying evenly and massaging into skin
• Safe for general use across age groups (consult pediatrician under 6 months)

How long does the water resistance last and when should I reapply?

This sunscreen offers up to 80 minutes of water resistance, making it reliable for swimming, surfing, or active outdoor pursuits. For continuous protection, reapply every 80 minutes while swimming or sweating and immediately after towel-drying or heavy perspiration.

• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Reapply after swimming, toweling, or every 2 hours for prolonged sun exposure
• Use generous, even application to achieve labeled SPF 50 protection
• Travel-size 3.4 fl oz fits TSA carry-on rules for convenient reapplication

What sustainability and packaging choices does Project Reef make?

Project Reef pairs environmental compliance with responsible materials by using tubes made from ocean-bound and post-consumer recycled plastic. The formulation and packaging choices reduce the ecological footprint while still being practical for travel and active lifestyles.

• Tubes constructed from ocean-bound and post-consumer recycled plastic
• Formulated to meet strict Hawaii Reef Act 104 standards
• Vegan, cruelty-free ingredients and minimal synthetic additives
• Travel-friendly 3.4 fl oz size fits carry-on luggage requirements
