Ethical Standards

Reef Safe & Ocean-Friendly

P4O range of sunscreens are co-formulated with marine biologists and experts in reef conservation. A lot of research has gone into engineering our products, ensuring they are as safe as possible for marine life and coral reefs (with the most recent science available) whilst being effective for people and long hours under the sun and in the water.

All of their products are compliant with the Hawaii Sunscreen Ban, but P4O go even further: excluding all 14 toxins known as marine contaminants according to Haereticus Environmental Laboratory.

Their sunscreens are 3 hours water-resistant, ensuring minimum amounts of product leach off into the environment and that it stays where it’s meant to be: on your skin!

Cruelty-Free

P4O are as committed to keeping our furry friends out of labs as much as we are about keeping chemicals out of our oceans.

People4Ocean (and our suppliers) verify that we do not conduct, commission, or pay for any testing on animals for ingredients, formulations or finished products.

They exclusively offer vegan friendly products in their range, with the exception of our SPF 30 sunscreen, which contains sustainably harvested beeswax from Tasmania.

Sustainability

Supporting Reefs Worldwide

As reef scientists, saving coral reefs is not just a passion, but at the very core of our business model too.

In the past 50 years, global warming, overfishing and pollution from land use (agriculture run offs, urbanisation) have killed over 50% of reefs worldwide, compromising marine biodiversity and millions of human livelihoods. Today, sunscreen pollution is part of the problem.

But P4O believe our sun care solutions - and the people that use them - can be a driving force to preserve these vital ecosystems.

The founders also continue to travel to different reef destinations worldwide, helping wherever they can or are needed to fight for the survival of these amazing underwater environments.

Carbon Conscious Packaging

P4O tubes contain some plastic. But there is a lot more to their plastic packaging than meets the eye…

There sunscreen tubes are made of 60% sugar cane bioplastic and 40% recycled HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Sugar cane bioplastic is a great alternative because its carbon footprint is much smaller. Sugar cane is a plant, capturing carbon whilst it is growing. When the sugar cane PE leaves the factory, it is carbon neutral.

They have partnered with Australian tube manufacturer Impact Tubes, who use solar energy and grow their own forest in New South Wales, making our tubes almost entirely carbon neutral! This means the process of making of our products does not contribute to climate change.
