หลายคนอาจเคยเห็นคำว่า “Benzophenone-4” ในฉลากกันแดด/สกินแคร์แล้วสงสัยว่าเกี่ยวอะไรกับปะการัง เราเริ่มสนใจเรื่องนี้ตอนจะไปทะเลแถบอุทยานฯ เพราะมีการรณรงค์ (และบางพื้นที่มีประกาศห้าม) เรื่องการนำเข้า/ใช้ครีมกันแดดที่มีสารเคมีบางชนิดที่ส่งผลกระทบต่อปะการัง เลยลองทำการบ้านก่อนทริปจริง Benzophenone-4 คือสารในกลุ่ม benzophenone ที่มักถูกใช้เป็นตัวช่วยกรองหรือช่วยเสถียรภาพรังสี UV ในเครื่องสำอาง/กันแดด (บางแบรนด์ใส่เพื่อช่วยเรื่องการปกป้องแสงหรือทำให้สูตรทนแสงมากขึ้น) ประเด็นที่ทำให้หลายคนกังวลคือ สารกันแดดบางกลุ่มถูกพูดถึงว่าอาจมีผลต่อระบบนิเวศทางทะเล โดยเฉพาะบริเวณแนวปะการังที่บอบบาง และสามารถสะสมในน้ำได้เมื่อมีนักท่องเที่ยวจำนวนมากลงเล่นน้ำ ถ้าอยากเช็กให้ชัวร์ แนะนำวิธีอ่านฉลากแบบที่เราทำ: 1) พลิกดูส่วนผสม (Ingredients) แล้วค้นคำว่า “Benzophenone-4” ตรง ๆ บางทีอาจเจอชื่อกลุ่ม benzophenone อื่น ๆ ด้วย 2) ถ้าเป็นกันแดดแนว “chemical sunscreen” จะมีรายชื่อสารกรอง UV หลายตัว ให้จดชื่อที่เห็นแล้วลองค้นข้อมูลเพิ่มก่อนพกไปทะเล 3) อย่าเชื่อแค่คำว่า “reef safe” หน้าแพ็กเกจอย่างเดียว ให้ดูส่วนผสมประกอบ เพราะคำนี้ยังไม่มีมาตรฐานเดียวกันทุกประเทศ แนวทางเลือกกันแดดให้เป็นมิตรต่อทะเลมากขึ้น (จากประสบการณ์เตรียมทริปของเรา): - เลือกสูตร “mineral/physical sunscreen” ที่ใช้ Zinc Oxide หรือ Titanium Dioxide เป็นหลัก (อ่านฉลากให้ชัด) และพยายามเลือกแบบ non-nano ถ้าหาได้ - เลี่ยงสูตรที่ระบุสารที่ถูกพูดถึงบ่อยว่าเสี่ยงต่อปะการัง โดยเฉพาะถ้าจะไปพื้นที่อุทยานฯ (เช่น กลุ่ม oxybenzone เป็นต้น) และถ้าเห็น Benzophenone-4 แล้วไม่มั่นใจ เราจะไม่เลือกไปใช้ในทะเล - ใช้วิธีป้องกันแดดเสริม: ใส่เสื้อกัน UV/รัชการ์ด หมวกปีกกว้าง แว่นกันแดด วิธีนี้ลดปริมาณกันแดดที่ต้องทาได้เยอะมาก ทริคการใช้ให้ได้ผลและลดการหลุดลงน้ำ: - ทาก่อนลงน้ำ 15–20 นาที และรอให้เซ็ตตัว - ใช้ปริมาณพอดี (หน้า 2 ข้อนิ้วเป็นแนวทาง) แต่เน้นปกปิดด้วยเสื้อผ้าแทนการโบกหนา ๆ - หลังขึ้นจากน้ำ ซับตัวแล้วค่อยทาซ้ำ ลดโอกาสที่กันแดดจะละลายลงทะเลทันที สรุปของเรา: ถ้าต้องไปดำน้ำ/เล่นน้ำในพื้นที่ปะการัง การหลีกเลี่ยงส่วนผสมที่น่ากังวลอย่าง Benzophenone-4 (รวมถึงสารกลุ่มที่อาจกระทบปะการัง) แล้วหันไปใช้กันแดดแบบ mineral + ใส่เสื้อกัน UV เป็นวิธีที่สบายใจที่สุด ทั้งผิวเราและทะเลก็ได้ประโยชน์
