#39 Beyond the SPF: Navigating sun protection and ocean health with Hannah Russell from Viveco Yachts

Today we have a special episode to mark World Oceans Day. The theme this year is about working together for change:  Catalysing Action for Our Ocean and Climate through transformative collaboration. With this theme in mind, Georgina Menheneott is joined by the wonderful Hannah Russell, ex crew member and founder of sustainable and eco-friendly product supplier, Viveco Yachts. Together, they look at the bigger picture of sustainability followed by a deep dive into something that affects nearly every single one of us (especially as we head into the summer season) and that is of course sunscreen.  From ingredients, to formulas and packaging, we discuss everything you need to know to make an informed and sustainable decision when it comes to sunscreen this summer.  Here are some key considerations regarding sunscreen and sustainability: Avoid Harmful Ingredients: Oxybenzone and Octinoxate should be on your avoidance list. Opt for Safe Mineral Sunscreens: Steer clear of nano particles. Embrace Refillable Dispensers: Seek out bulk supply options with refillable dispensers. Choose Aluminum Packaging: Aluminum packaging is infinitely recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice. With Hannah's guidance, we're thrilled to have discovered a product that not only safeguards us from the sun's rays but also nurtures our oceans while upholding sustainability. That product is oeSHun. After successfully trialling their range with select yachts from the Burgess fleet last summer, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive!
