🐐 Nano Vs Non Nano Zinc Oxide

Here is AMAVARA’s standard: Reef safe can ONLY be achieved if non-nano zinc oxide is the ONLY active ingredient. An unfortunate marketing ploy is to showcase zinc oxide on the front product, but when flipped over, you’ll see zinc oxide combined with chemical or other marine toxic ingredients on the back.

^{Recently, many research studies and experimental analyses have improved the efficiency of zinc oxide (ZnO) materials by producing nano-structures where each nano-dimension is reduced to generate nanowires, thin films and other structures for plenty of applications including defense against intracellular pathogens and brain tumors. 10 One} “This is a 100-percent mineral, non-nano sunscreen with no shaking required. It uses patented technology to provide an extraordinary level of sun protection against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning

“Both nano particle—a smaller particle size—and traditional zinc oxide sunscreens are both safe and effective, and both will be considered safe for reefs. The only difference is the cosmetic feel on the skin.” So you’re pretty much good to go with a mineral-based option. How do I know if a sunscreen is "reef friendly"?
