Does your sunscreen harm the environment?

Have you ever wondered if your sunscreen is a danger to natural rivers and lakes? Unfortunately, the answer is probably yes. Most sunscreen products contain a number of chemicals that can be harmful to aquatic life.

The only safe solution to protect against the sun’s rays and to protect the environment and lakes is to use a 100% natural sunscreen. All PURU sunscreens are a safe choice.

Learn what’s in it

In many cases, a seemingly natural product can be misleading, especially if organic and organic markers are used.

Of course, there is rarely time to check every ingredient, so here at PURU we make sure all ingredients are natural so you don’t have to worry.

Chemical sunscreens are not only damaging the body and skin, but also dangerous to valuable Swiss waterways and the underwater ecosystem. Chemicals leak from your skin into the water, damaging the environment.

PURU is a Certified Lake Safe Partner

All PURU sunscreens are formulated to align with the Lake Safe Standard, a precautionary framework designed for shared freshwater environments.

By choosing PURU, you’re not just protecting your skin.
You’re already making a Lake Safe choice.

Make a responsible choice for shared waters
