We would like to sincerely thank the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) for supporting the research and development of a reef-safe sunscreen based on locally value-added products manufactured by Lapita Café Limited.

This research aligns with the Department of Department of Tourism Vanuatus Policy (2019–2030), which focuses on protecting our environment—particularly our marine resources—as well as Regenerative Vanua Regenerative Verification Program.

Through this funding, Lapita Café was able to engage Sarah King from Nourish to Thrive to support the development and testing of Pacific Protect Reef Safe Sunscreen, as well as provide training for Lapita Café staff at the HACCP-certified factory in Luganville, Santo.

Nourish to Thrive also assisted in sourcing appropriate machinery to scale up production capacity at the Santo factory.

This collaboration between the private sector, government, international research organizations, and NGOs has led to positive innovation and environmentally friendly outcomes. 🌿

In case you haven’t heard, our Operations Manager, Kevin G. Mackenzie-Reur is in Austria 🇦🇹 alongside Ms Norah Ala from V-Lab. 😍

You wonder why? They are representing Vanuatu 🇻🇺 in the global pitching of the Climate Launchpad.
What is Climate Launchpad? It’s an international pitching competition that Lapita Cafe Ltd is participating with 43 other countries around the world. 🤩
What type of product had us participating in this competition? It’s our REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN 🤗 A cosmetic product that was recently developed and produced in our HACCP Certified factory in Santo. ✨
This product is very unique given most of the ingredients used to produce it are locally sourced. Our reef safe sunscreen has 40+ SPF, and not only that but it also nourishes, rejuvenates and heals our skin from the sun rays. It’s friendly for all skin tones and most importantly, it is reef safe. 💯

As we are approaching the hot season, come & grab yourself a Tin to protect your body from the sun rays. 😉
