Any store on the islands sell reef safe,,they are not allowed to sell anything else. There is no one checking you sunscreen that you bring from home.I'm assuming the reef safe sunscreen that is required is available for purchase at Aulani and the ABC stores? How much does it cost in each place?
Should I just try and find some at home and bring my own? Do they really enforce it on the beaches?
I look for the ones that are Hawaii certified or whatever it's called.Wonder if anyone will actually answer the question about pricing....im curious too.
When you search reef safe, you find sunscreen that actually says reef friendly and are free from the oxy-stuff. But apparently there are other ingredients in the oxy-free stuff that aren't good for reefs either...
Less to packThx for starting this thread - this was on my list of questions too!! I was thinking it's probably just as easy to pick up @ Target when we stop for supplies on our way to the resort.
This is what we use when we come to Hawaii and in fact I just bought a new tube on Amazon this month, got it with my subscribe and save items and got another 15% off, win for my wallet, win for the reef and coral ;-)We bought at costco when we arrived....I think it was blue lizard or something like that. It had been recommended
I just looked on amazon- the 3 0z tube of kokua is $29I love the Kokua sunscreen. It's locally made and works really well.
We ordered off of Amazon before we went to St. Thomas last summer, but I did buy some at the ABC store near our hotel on the Big Island. It was a few dollars more that Amazon but not outrageously more expensive.
