keep in mind this is one persons "scientific test" and has not to my knowledge been replicated in a real lab....

and many of those touting their reef safe properties may not really be reef safe.... there are questions about the safety of zinc and titanium oxides for example.

Is there a safe sunscreen list that includes sea lice protection? Would like to know for future reference.

Thanks!
