Let's not conflate the two things. Chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate could impact corals locally, but ocean warming could kill all corals globally.

Chemicals from sunscreens (e.g., oxybenzone, octinoxate), agricultural runoff (pesticides, fertilizers), and industrial pollution (metals, oil) severely damage coral reefs.

Pretty much every sunscreen with oxybenzone quietly disappeared from the market this year but then you have these fuckers tilting at windmills

But don't you know that sunscreens contain a special kind of benzene called oxybenzone which causes cancer?!

Please wear sunscreen. Very few things are more consistently and strongly linked to cancer than that giant fireball in the sky.
Good golly, things are getting weird out there.

Oxybenzone is the US-approved chemical UV filter most responsible for skin irritation, so if you have a problem with that, look for a sunscreen without it. Lots of US brands avoid it these days.

I am lucky in that I don't tend to react to sunscreens much (and also don't use them often because I don't spend much time outside). For my face and upper chest/high reactivity areas I import the Bioré UV Aqua Rich from Japan, for everything else anything works as long as it's oxybenzone free.

#TBT: On June 25, 2019, the US Virgin Islands passed a law targeting oxybenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate, three UV-blocking chemicals found in most mainstream commercial sunscreen products in the United States, because studies have shown they harm coral and other marine ecosystems.

Journalists, pls don't do this: if you claim an increase in an unconventional behavior, back it up w/ stats. Anecdotes don't suffice. Plus, data on distrust of "conventional health advice" does not necessarily mean they cover specific advice on topics like sunscreen.

There’s also some ingredients (oxybenzone) that enter the blood stream and could be dangerous, but the evidence is inconclusive.
This is why mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide) are increasingly popular. However I’m weary of the ‘use tallow’ claims. That’s for moisture, not UVA & UVB protection.

Oxybenzone is another shitty chemical sunscreen that is highly irritating in 70% of people who use it. Luckily, we did get a new chemical sunscreen, called Parsol Shield (bemotrizinol), that is safe and doesn't come with gruesome side effects. 2/

Like there are some studies looking into replacing Oxybenzone in sunscreens with it as a more coral-safe alternative, but you gotta make some pretty huge leaps from that to drinking the stuff.

Because of TikTok "I am an expert in bullshit" accounts spreading the misconception that oxybenzone and benzene (which is a very potent carcinogen) are the same thing, sunscreen companies panicked and now advertise "oxybenzone free" sunscreens. These contain titanium dioxide instead.
