10 Best (& Reef-Safe) Sunscreens for Samoa 🧴 [2024]

The Best Reef-Safe and Sustainable Sunscreens to Take to Samoa

Sunscreen is an absolute must for every day, every season and any time in Samoa (Ok, except after dark). With high to extreme UV levels all year round and long sunny days, you will need protection to cope with the tropical sun that you, no doubt, have been longing for. But with sun protection comes environmental responsibility, as the fragile coral reefs that make Samoa the pristine destination that it is can’t handle the chemicals that mainstream sunscreens contain. Plus, let’s be honest, those chemicals are not always good for your skin either. For those reasons and due to the fact that reef-safe sunscreen is almost impossible to find in Samoa, we’ve come up with this list of the best reef-safe sunscreens for Samoa following three main criteria:

• They are reef-safe
• They contain mostly natural ingredients
• The sunscreen itself is biodegradable

If you are on the market for kids’ sunscreen as well, make sure to check out our 5 Best Kids and Babies Sunscreens for Samoa where you will find options for the whole family. Plus, you might want to combine your sun protection with some mosquito protection, as listed in the 10 Best Mosquito Repellents for Samoa.

Finally, remember to reapply sunscreen every three hours and after towel-drying yourself! See more of our Sun Protection Tips in our guide.
