Limu Sunscreen
Protect your Skin and the Ocean with this Seaweed Lotion!
About Our Social Enterprise
Coral reefs are among the most biologically productive & supportive ecosystems in the world. They represent hotspots of marine biodiversity, directly sustain half a billion people for food, income, and protection and the rest of the world for climate regulation and oxygen. However, the chemical compounds in the sunscreens that we use cause the rapid and complete bleaching of corals, even at low concentrations. If coral bleaching would continue at its current rate, marine organisms would cease to exist and the livelihoods of many people would be destroyed – predominantly in developing countries.
This is where Limu Sunscreen comes in. Our passions and goals are to protect the oceans, marine life, and to support farmer livelihoods. How do we achieve this goal? With our seaweed sunscreen! Firstly, Limu’s natural-based sunscreen does not harm the marine environment and secondly, our seaweed is sourced from Zeewar in the Netherlands and farmer cooperatives in Morocco. We pay a premium to the seaweed farmers, and contribute our profits to building and improving their communities’ infrastructure as well as to raise awareness about marine conservation.
To buy and to use sustainably, is to protect the people and the planet!
