New Scientific Study Finds Coral Reefs Under Attack From Chemical In Sunscreen As Global Bleaching Event Hits

October 20, 2015

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A new study published today in a toxicology journal has found that a chemical widely used in personal care products such as sunscreen, poses an ecological threat to corals and coral reefs and threatens their existence.

Oxybenzone is found in over 3,500 sunscreen products worldwide, and pollutes coral reefs from swimmers wearing sunscreens and through wastewater discharges from municipal sewage outfalls and from coastal septic systems.

The study comes less than two weeks after NOAA declared the third ever global coral bleaching event and warned that locally produced threats to coral, such as pollution, stress the health of corals and decrease the likelihood that they will resist bleaching, or recover from it.

It demonstrates that exposure of coral planulae (baby coral) to oxybenzone, produces gross morphological deformities, damages their DNA, and, most alarmingly, acts as an endocrine disruptor. The latter causes the coral to encase itself in its own skeleton leading to death.

These effects were observed as low as 62 parts per trillion, the equivalent to a drop of water in six and a half Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Measurements of oxybenzone in seawater within coral reefs in Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, for example, found concentrations ranging from 800 parts per trillion to 1.4 parts per million. This is over 12 times higher than the concentrations necessary to impact on coral.

A team of marine scientists from Virginia, Florida, Israel, the National Aquarium (US) and the US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, undertook the study. Lead author Dr. Craig Downs of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory Virginia, said, “The use of oxybenzone-containing products needs to be seriously deliberated in islands and areas where coral reef conservation is a critical issue. We have lost at least 80% of the coral reefs in the Caribbean. Any small effort to reduce oxybenzone pollution could mean that a coral reef survives a long, hot summer, or that a degraded area recovers. Everyone wants to build coral nurseries for reef restoration, but this will achieve little if the factors that originally killed off the reef remain or intensify in the environment.”

Between 6,000 and 14,000 tons of sunscreen lotion are emitted into coral reef areas each year, much of which contains between one and 10% oxybenzone.

Further information about the study can be found at haereticus-lab.org and marinesafe.org.

October 19, 2015

MEMPHIS, Tennessee, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Now in its twelfth year, the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign has transformed the holiday season into a time of giving thanks by raising awareness and funds for the ongoing battle to end childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The campaign unites celebrities, media, retail and corporate partners in asking consumers to donate while they shop and support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

What began as a holiday-focused fundraising effort by St. Jude has now grown into an annual tradition that has raised more than $588 million. These funds support St. Jude’s mission to provide cutting-edge treatment and pursue visionary research.

“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support we receive year after year during the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign,” said Marlo Thomas, National Outreach Director for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Throughout the holiday season people open their hearts to the children of St. Jude and as a result, our doctors and scientists can continue their groundbreaking research and pioneering procedures that help us achieve our landmark survival rates. And, we are able to continue to ensure that no family pays St. Jude for anything – not for treatment, travel, housing or food – because we believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live.”

Beginning in November and running through the end of December, consumers can support St. Jude while they shop at a variety of businesses representing a cross-section of premier brands in retail, restaurant, travel, hospitality, media and beyond. Top returning campaign partners include Kmart; Best Buy; ANN INC.; Kay® Jewelers; Domino’s; Williams-Sonoma, Inc.; HomeGoods; New York & Company; AutoZone; Brooks Brothers; GNC; Dollar General; Claire’s; Carnival Cruise Line; Justice; HSN; Marshalls; Chili’s® Grill & Bar; and Mazda, to name a few.

We’re proud of the impact our results have made for the families of St. Jude and thankful to St. Jude for its tireless work to defeat cancer and other diseases in children. St. Jude made holiday shopping at Kmart more rewarding and we’re excited to support an organization that clearly means so much to our members,” said Alasdair James, President and Chief Member Officer at Kmart.

This year, St. Jude partners are expanding and supporting the campaign in a variety of ways – from in-store fundraising to unique cross-promotions, events and online/mobile features.

“It is Best Buy’s privilege to partner in the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign, by making it convenient for our customers to give back while shopping in stores and online during the holidays,” said Sharon McCollam, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer at Best Buy. “By adding options to give through our credit card signature pads last year, we made it easier for customers to contribute during the checkout process. As a result of their generosity, we were able to contribute $9.7 million last year, and hope to do even more this year to support the children and families served by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.”

Other partner highlights include:

Several partners are offering merchandise products during the holidays to benefit St. Jude including Ann Taylor; Brooks Brothers; HomeGoods; HSN; Kmart; New York & Company; The Limited; TUMI; Westfield; Williams-Sonoma, Inc. and their portfolio of brands; to name a few.

Finally, An All-Natural Powdered Coffee Creamer That Curbs Your Cravings!

October 19, 2015

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Leaner Creamer has announced the first all-natural powdered coffee creamer that promotes weight loss and helps with appetite suppression. The product is now available for purchase online and in select stores.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151015/277455LOGO

“We are excited to have created the only natural coffee creamer that curbs your cravings. We want to encourage coffee drinkers to get rid of the chemicals and start drinking creamy coffee guilt-free,” said CEO and founder Jonathan Kashani.

The innovative concept behind Leaner Creamer can be credited to Kashani, a former lawyer with a background in biology, physiology and medicine. This experience provided Kashani a first-hand look at both high-stress environments and the physician side of various weight loss programs. The combination of rising countrywide obesity rates and an increasingly ubiquitous use of artificial coffee creamers sparked a desire in Kashani to revolutionize the way people drink coffee. He thought that creating a creamer that was both all natural and appetite suppressing would mean offering the public a weight loss tool that could be easily incorporated into their already established daily routine.

When Kashani began dating his now-wife, Natasha Kashani, he noticed that she was both working out frequently and using artificial coffee creamer – two things that seemed incongruent to him. This re-ignited his drive to create a healthy creamer alternative, and helped him decide to leave law and commit to Leaner Creamer. Natasha serves as the company’s Director of Marketing.

The powdered creamer’s unique, coconut oil-based formula is an all-natural blend of Citrus Aurantium Extract, Hoodia and Green Tea Extract. These products help to speed up metabolism, aid digestion, increase lipolysis and suppress hunger – making the formula an effective weight loss tool. Finished with a hint of vanilla, the creamer is both aromatic and appetizing. By eliminating the fat, non-natural ingredients and toxic chemicals while preserving flavor, Leaner Creamer is a healthy alternative to traditional coffee creamers.

Leaner Creamer has been publicly endorsed by high-profile social influencers including Bethenny Frankel, David Hasselhoff, Scott Disick and Paige Hathaway. The product has quickly gained a dedicated social media following on platforms including Instagram and Facebook, where users can connect with the brand and share personal testimonials.

As an integrated marketing campaign across television, digital and retail intended to celebrate the value family brings to people everywhere, this new campaign grew out of what SC Johnson knew to be consumers’ built-in trust of family-owned companies. In fact, when the company launched the first “A Family Company” in 2001, research showed that 80 percent of people believed family companies made products they could trust.

This new campaign is a reminder to them that SC Johnson does not take families’ trust for granted, but rather that it intends to earn their trust every day.

Building Trust By Earning It

The new campaign’s first ad, “Great Expectations,” which debuts tonight on NBC’s “The Voice” and ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” speaks to diverse families in various stages to establish the shared value of doing what’s right for future generations. A Spanish-language version will launch later this month through a partnership with Univision and its popular music-based reality entertainment competition, “La Banda.”

The campaign continues this fall with a spot that leads into the Thanksgiving holiday titled “Through the Years,” which conveys SC Johnson’s gratitude to its consumers for making its products part of their families over the generations.

The “Great Expectations” and “Through the Years” television ads – which were created in partnership with Energy BBDO – can be found on YouTube here.

In addition to advertising, beginning November 1, SC Johnson will bring the campaign to life with consumer engagements designed to surprise and delight families during the holiday season. SC Johnson’s social channels, Facebook and Twitter, will also be integral consumer touch points for sharing family stories, communicating the company’s values and promoting activities that celebrate families this holiday season.
