Biodegradable sunscreen?

[peachyisthelife]

We're headed to Cozumel and Grand Cayman next week. I've heard a little bit about certain places wanting you to use biodegradable sunscreen. Where do they do this and is it mandatory? I guess I can understand why and all. But where do you buy bio. sunscreen?

OMG

We used a brand of this in Discovery Cove at Sea World to swim with the Dolphins........everything else is contrband.

It goes on like paste. Remember the kind you used to use in kindergarten and it didnt kill you when you ate it. Well a little tube goes a long way. And it stays on you for-ever.

Of course we could of bought more their, but, When I left 6 hours later I was still pasty.

 

Safe travels.

I am sure there are more brands out there now, but, 4 years ago, the selection was minimal.

We've used Caribbean Solutions Sol Guard 25 on a couple of cruises. I like it very much and think it works well. I purchased it on Amazon since I couldn't find it locally.

 

There is another product named Mexitan, and it gets good reviews too. I haven't tried it because the Caribbean Sol worked for me so I've stuck with it.

 

Have fun on trip!

I have never heard of anywhere where it is mandatory to use this product.

Like I stated earlier, the first time we encountered this situation was at

Discovery Cove in Orlando Florida.

I guess they could provide one tube per person for the price of the event.................but, it was well worth it............and we would love to do it again.

 

I guess they require it to prevent the dolphins and other water areas from becoming an oily water mixture.

 

Safe travels.

I had to get it at a WF in Ft. Lauderdale prior to the cruise. It is pricey.

Xcarat in in Mexico does not allow sunscreen they take it at the gate and return it at the end of the day. It is one of the best things in the Caribbean.

I agree. But now that I've seen a thread on this, I could see this happening more and more with encounters with sea life tours.
