Lisa's Community Outreach Campaign - Reef Safe Sunscreen

The Little Urchin range of natural skincare products, including our reef-safe sunscreen, is designed to not only protect your skin but also preserve the delicate ecosystems of our oceans. Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide and other natural ingredients, our products provide effective broad-spectrum protection without harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which have been shown to contribute to coral bleaching and the degradation of marine life.

At Little Urchin, we believe in the power of education and advocacy. That’s why we are proud to collaborate with young changemakers like Lisa Jarosz, a Year 11 student from IDEA Academy, who is passionately raising awareness about coral reef conservation. Lisa’s project highlights the importance of choosing reef-safe sunscreens to protect both marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them for their livelihoods.


Supporting initiatives like Lisa’s not only aligns with our values but also helps spread crucial awareness about the role we all play in preserving the environment. With her informative posters and community outreach, Lisa is educating the public about the harmful effects of certain chemicals in traditional sunscreens, reinforcing why it’s so important to make the switch to natural alternatives.

By choosing Little Urchin, you are not only protecting your skin but also contributing to a larger movement to protect the planet. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we proudly donate 1% of our annual sales to environmental organizations through the One Percent for the Planet initiative. Together, we can help preserve our oceans and protect the beauty of our world for future generations.

Be kind to your skin and the environment—order our reef-safe sunscreen today and join us in making a difference.

WHY IS THE PLEDGE IMPORTANT?

Studies show that many chemicals in common sunscreens can be toxic to both human life and marine life and can impair coral growth, induce bleaching and damage reproductive systems. Your pledge will help preserve what’s left of our precious reefs.

SAVE YOUR SKIN AND THE SEA

Your body’s largest organ is your skin. What it absorbs can be beneficial or toxic. Healthy coral reefs are one of the most valuable ecosystems and greatest wonders on Earth. They are also worth billions of dollars in economic and environmental terms. Avoidance of toxic chemicals protects both your body and our precious marine life.

YOUR CHOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

We know that small changes have a big impact. Our #ReefSafeMeSafe Pledge is a campaign to decrease the use of harmful chemical sunscreens in Australia and around the world. We urge everyone to choose sunscreen free from chemicals that harm our bodies, our oceans and our coral reefs.

#ReefSafeMeSafe PLEDGE

I vow to preserve and protect our precious marine life.
I vow to give my skin the protection it deserves.
I pledge to use only sunscreen that is reef-friendly and safe for my skin.
With this small gesture, I will reduce the footprint I leave behind.
