Thanks, Melanie, for that info! I use sunscreen a lot, because of skin cancers I've had, so I just now checked ingredients on what I saw in my cabinet & threw out some products with that ingredient. Will be more careful in the future to buy safer products! Even though I never swim in the ocean and am located pretty far inland, rivers often empty into the gulf, so it still matters.

But apparently, a common ingredient in it is killing our coral reefs. For more information, and a list of sunscreens without the ingredient, check out this article from the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
