When it comes to protecting your skin and preserving the planet, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between the two. That’s why we’re excited to share that we now carry Project Reef—a clean, mineral-based sunscreen line that’s as committed to ocean health as it is to healthy skin.
These beautifully packaged, reef-safe formulas are more than just summer essentials. They’re thoughtfully made, sustainably packaged, and now available in our retail space at Five Wellbeing Spa in downtown Littleton.
Not All “Organic” Sunscreens Are Created Equal
We’ve all seen them—products labeled “natural” or “reef-safe”, only to turn the bottle around and discover ingredients like oxybenzone, avobenzone, or synthetic fragrances. These chemical UV filters not only irritate sensitive skin, but many have been linked to coral bleaching and marine toxicity—the opposite of what we expect from a product marketed as clean or eco-conscious.
Project Reef is different.
Their sunscreens are 100% mineral-based, using non-nano zinc oxide to physically block UV rays without harming coral reefs or introducing endocrine-disrupting chemicals to your skin.
Packaging with Purpose
What truly sets Project Reef apart is their packaging. Every product is housed in recycled ocean-bound plastic, helping remove plastic pollution from the environment before it can reach our waterways. From the moment you pick up a bottle of their Mineral Sunscreen or Cooling Mist, you’re not just protecting your skin—you’re joining a larger mission to restore and regenerate our oceans.
As a Certified B Corporation and Climate Neutral Certified brand, Project Reef’s entire business model is built around accountability and sustainability.
A Favorite Among Our Spa Team
“I love traveling to Hawaii, and the fact that Project Reef is based in Maui makes it even more special. Not only does their amazing SPF protect my skin, but it also contributes to removing plastic from our oceans. Project Reef is truly committed to giving back to all marine life.”
— Candyce Scott, Manager of Therapists and Education at Five Wellbeing Spa
