Subject: Comment on non-mineral sunscreen ordinance
To: Chair Rebecca Villegas, Co-Chair Heather Kimball, and members of the Committee on Climate
Resilience & Natural Management
From: John and Shelley Cranshaw, and Janice Abat
There are increasing numbers of studies suggesting non-mineral sunscreens inhibit coral growth and
degrade the integrity of our reefs. In addition, the FDA proposes that such non-mineral sunscreens be
classified as "not generally recognized as safe and effective" for humans, due to high serum levels of
essentially all such sunscreen ingredients in users, and the almost complete lack of safety data in humans.
The purpose of this ordinance is to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of humans and the
environment, by allowing only mineral sunscreens to be provided, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the
County. I ask for your strong support for passage of this ordinance.
