Cowichan Lake Cottages

07/02/2025

🌞☀️ Headed to Cowichan Lake? Don’t forget your sunscreen… but make it reef-safe! 🐟💧

Whether you're floating the river, lounging on the dock, or splashing in the lake with the kids, what you put on your skin can end up in the water—and some sunscreens contain chemicals that harm our local ecosystem.

👎 Skip the stuff with oxybenzone and octinoxate
✅ Look for non-nano zinc oxide or titanium dioxide—they’re safer for your skin and our beautiful lake.

🧴✨ Bonus: Many local shops now carry reef-safe options (like IDA Pharmacy or Tube Shack)!

🎩👕 Pro tip: Rock a hat and UV shirt, and stay shaded between 10am–3pm to protect your skin even more.

Let’s keep Cowichan Lake clean, safe, and thriving for future summers. 💙
