    Unless I missed it, the article doesn’t mention whether this sunscreen mitigates the impact on coral in the ocean. The sunscreens we’ve been using are terrible for that.

      From the end of the article:

      The European Union’s environmental agency has found “limited evidence of environmental toxicity” with BEMT, but longer-term research is needed.

        Now that I look again I see that. I think I hadn’t hit the “Read More” so didn’t see the end of the article. I even searched for “coral” initially and it didn’t find anything. The first subheading after it expands does mention coral.
