My name is Brian Guadagno, founder of Raw Elements Mineral Sunscreen. Thank you. :-
for allowing me to provide this written testimony.
We are fully in support of the Hawaii County non-mineral sunscreen bill which is c
scheduled for a hearing on Tuesday, May 17th. w
Healthy coral reefs protect our island's coastal infrastructure, beaches and our
community. The chemical compounds contained in non-mineral sunscreen inhibit coral
growth and degrade the integrity of our reefs. This ordinance also supports public
health, safety and well begin of humans as well as our environment by restricting the
sale and distribution of non-mineral sunscreens. The ordinance will follow FDA's
guidance in which all non-mineral sunscreens are no longer classified as GRASE -
generally regarded as safe and effective.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this written testimony.
Sincerely,
Brian Guadagno
