"From Banana Boat to Coppertone, major sunscreen brands will soon have to revamp their products or stop selling them in Hawaii.
State lawmakers passed legislation in May that would ban skin-care companies from selling and distributing sunscreens on the islands that contain two chemicals deemed damaging to coral reefs. The bill is opposed by various companies and business associations and even some dermatologists, who worry that the ban may discourage people from wearing sunscreen at all.
But Gov. David Ige (D) is expected to sign the bill this week, making Hawaii the first state to enact legislation designed to protect marine ecosystems by banning such sunscreens."
