Is it coral reef safe? And how long does a bottle last for? (My hubby & I are going to Caribbean for a week)

Yes, it is coral reef safe, and how long a bottle lasts is a bit subjective. Depends on how often you re-apply and how often you're planning on being in the sun. In general though, I'd say you were pretty safe with 1-2 bottles max. Regards and have a great trip! Deb

Not sure if its coral reef safe but its definitely thee best all natural, non gmo, organic sunblock ive gotten so far! Just got back from hawaii and it worked really well for me no sunburn, no irritation, and if theres anything that id consider safe for the ocean it would be this :)

I agree with Willyb9236. The small bottle 50ml is truly a travel size and very small. The larger bottle, which I use 7 days a week, lasts a long time. It is foamy and I use very little each time. It may last 3 month. The small bottle is very, very expensive. I returned the small bottle and received a refund.

Safe? ABSOLUTELY... This is what we, basically, use this item for. I connect this to my motorhome as I'm filling my freshwater tank so I know how much water I'm putting into the system. TYPICALLY, I only want to carry a small amount of water while drive (say 10 gallons) and then fill up when I get to my destination. This makes it ***VERY EASY*** to know what I've put into my tank!

generally the manufacturer states "avoid exposure to extreme temperatures", so depends on how hot it was. Also was it just 1 bottle, or the whole case? If it was really hot, I would toss it and not use to be safe. Remember formula does not have antibodies such as breastmilk so no natural way to be okay if the conditions are not right.

I think so. I've been using it since my baby was born and she is now 1 year old. Never had a problem. Bottles are always clean and ready to go.

We put hard alcohol in them, and you are allowed one bottle of wine on a cruise, so we just took the bottle of wine on with us. Didnt lose its flavor.

Once a day was enough for me - 15-20 min before going to the beach (Mexico). I was at the beach from 8 am-12 pm. Yes, it is water resistant - I like to have long swims. The lotion is thick but I didn't have problems to apply it. You will be kind of whitish for the first 5-10 min then it will go away. I would re-apply lotion after swimming only to the neck and face. I like how the bottle turns blue under sun almost immediately as a reminder that you need to have a sunblock :) I have very sensitive skin and didn't have any problems with Blue Lizard

I've had my one liter bottle for at least one year it works just fine. Just store in a cool dark place ans shake well before use. I wouldn't worry about the shelflife too much if you use it all in a year or two. Maybe three... If anything I just think it wont work anymore as opposed to causing damage...

I believe the ferulic acid helps stabilize it, but it will go bad. I get a good six weeks to two months out of of it, though. Here's how: Keep in fridge Decant about a weeks worth into a smaller bottle you keep by your bed or something. The less you open the original bottle, the less it'll be exposed to oxygen. Also, use it liberally. On neck, dcollet, everywhere. Get your money's worth! It's so much cheaper (and stronger) than other brands of C, even if you have to buy it more often, it's still cost effective. Hope this helps!

I have had my bottle for a long time and it is still fresh. I think as long as you don't leave it open it will last a good while, I love it.

Hi Rachel, I'm not really sure at all. I think I mentioned it in my review but this, along with a broad spectrum probiotic that doesn't have to be refrigerated is what my naturopath recommends for when we travel to the tropics,(not during malaria season, bc then he would prescribe other stuff). I take it whenever we travel anywhere. But it's a pretty strong pathogen killer and is most likely too strong for a baby's system. I would really consult with a naturopath. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Sorry this is in our boat where it is stored. I used it on our pontoon before we stored it here in Northern Michigan. I can only tell you that is works fantastic. I did not have a problem with the bleach because we were outside, but it definitely has an "bleach" smell. Can you not get the ingredients off the internet. Look product up from manufacturer, you will get ingredients. If you are going to use this inside, open windows and use a small amount. This product works, but it can affect your lungs and skin, if you are sensitive or inhale it because you use too much at one time. Best I got. Sorry this is in our boat where it is stored.

If it's unprotected I don't expect it would hold up to water damage from being exposed to the elements. I use this as an island top in my kitchen and I clean it with baking soda, sand it lightly and oil it with mineral oil about once a month to keep my cutting surface looking great and free from odors. Not sure if this is helpful or not...we love it as an island top though and we get a lot of compliments on it...and it was a fraction of the price!

We purchased 3 bottles in 2011, still using 2nd bottle (still works), just checked with a friend who uses it in his trolling motor on his boat - he says 5 years. Since he's 83 and has boated all his life, I believe him.

It doesn't say on the container, but I would imagine that it is safe. If you continue to have concerns, you should contact the company itself. Sorry that I couldn't be more specific.

Considering it is a natural bee product, the shelf life should be more than the normal 2 years for other drugs, because bees are really amazing about preserving their own products,so i would say you are safe for at least 2 years, i am not an expert and i bought mine awhile back and have already used it and dont have the bottle to check for expiration date. You shouldnt be hesitant to buy it because of this reason only, and one bottle won t last too long, since personally i use it for everything, including my dogs. Hope this helps, good luck!!
