"If you think you’re in the clear as long as you buy a sunscreen labeled “reef safe,” think again, says Downs. The federal government requires sunscreen claims to be “truthful and not misleading,” but the term “reef safe” doesn’t have an agreed-upon definition, and therefore isn’t strictly regulated by government. This means sunscreen manufacturers aren’t required to test and demonstrate that such products won’t harm aquatic life, says Downs. And even if they did and found a sunscreen that passed this test, says Downs, it might still be harmful if concentrations in the water got high enough."
