THEY HATE TO ADMIT THIS

According to the US FDA, more than 4,400 sunscreens sold in the United States contain active ingredients that *may* stain fabrics and boat surfaces. The *may* part means IF they come in contact with hard water.

Hint: sea and lake water IS HARD WATER.

We’re not making this up. Look at the Drug Facts panels of these top-selling sunscreen brands:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 45
Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 30
Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Spray

If you continue using these products, here’s a helpful article from CNN explaining how to remove sunscreen stains:

SABIYA sunscreens DO NOT contain ingredients that stain fabrics.

- We don’t trust chemical UV filters, so we don’t use them

- We don’t like petroleum-based ingredients, so we don’t use them

- We don’t like recovering seats, repainting boats, and replacing swimwear, so we don’t use ingredients that can damage them

- We don’t make spray-on sunscreen. SABIYA may be safe for boats and even for the ocean, but no sunscreen is safe in your lungs!


SABIYA is safe for your boat and clothing, and it’s terrific for your skin. As part of the sea community, we are proud to offer products are completely safe for oceans and marine life. Many of our ingredients come from the ocean, and they can safely return.

Use SABIYA with confidence and peace of mind.
