Stream2Sea
Fact: Over 6,000 TONS of skin care products enter coral reefs from tourist activities alone. And that’s not counting the products that enter our rivers, lakes and streams through runoff, sewage, and more. Stream2Sea knows that what we put into our water matters, which is why they’ve formulated their products without benzophenones, oxybenzones, octinoxate, or parabens, ensuring the highest quality sunscreen for you–without damaging sensitive marine life. Plus, there’s no nanoparticles, fragrances, phthalates, aerosols, or other yucky additives that they’ve found don’t benefit our reefs or bodies.
Not only is Stream2Sea great for the reefs, but it’s a sunscreen that truly works to stop sunburns. All of their sunscreens exceed the FDA’s rating for 80-minute water resistance, and don’t run into your eyes (or the ocean) if you sweat or swim. Any sunscreen residue that may come off in the waters is 100% biodegradable in both saltwater and freshwater, as well as non-toxic for fish and coral. As a vegan and mineral based sunscreen, Stream2Sea sunscreens actually reflect the sun’s harmful rays, instead of absorb them, and are gentle enough to be used on babies and children. With their 100% recyclable tubes made from sugarcane resins, they have completely eliminated harmful plastics from their production, and use eco-friendly inks and recycled paper products for any brochures, cartons, or other documents.

this product rubs in and leaves a very small white cast this does have some ingredients i dont really like being in this sunscreen but it isn’t a horrible sunscreen i just would prefer if it didn’t have some of the ingredients it has and i wish it had zinc because zinc is needed in this sunscreen to protect from uva 1

Hi, Z! We love this reef-safe and people-safe sunscreen! Titanium dioxide and zinc dioxide, two common mineral sunscreen ingredients, are white- making it impossible for them to go on totally clear! You can make them smaller (nanoparticles), but those tiny particles are dangerous for reefs- which is why this sunscreen uses non-nano titanium dioxide! If you’re worried about a white cast, we love this option– the tint helps to mask the whiteness of the particles 🙂

Does Sream2Sea test on animals? I noticed they do not have the bunny symbol in their list of symbols. They also do not call it out on their list of Sustainability features.

Hi Ashley, great question!
Stream2Sea does perform a small amount of testing on fish and coral, but hear us out: EarthHero does not normally sell products that are tested on animals in any form. However, we stand behind Stream2Sea’s research and reasoning. Here’s a quick excerpt from Stream2Sea’s founder, Autumn Blum:
“Part of Stream2Sea’s business model is total transparency with our followers. In that light, I felt it was important to share more about the tough decisions we’ve had to make about product testing on live species. We’ve discovered the hard way that just because a product is safe for people doesn’t mean it’s safe in an aquatic ecosystem. The only way to determine if our products are harmful to fish and other aquatic life is to test them on living animals.
From the beginning, I knew that we would have to test on fish and coral to create a product line that would not only limit its impact on our waters, but would set a new standard for future products looking to do the same. It doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Why Live Testing Matters
We need to be able to stand behind our product when we say they are EcoConscious and the most coral reef safe, lake safe and stream safe product line available. We need to be able to say, “We did the hard testing; we pushed that testing to the highest possible concentrations, and it WON’T kill fish or knowingly harm marine ecosystems.”
There is a very real threat that skin care products are causing damage to the delicate ecosystems in our planet’s waters—and we need to develop products with as much certainty as possible that they won’t hurt the creatures they come into contact with, including coral.
So … we test our products to ensure they will not be harmful to fish and other aquatic life as used. We are adamantly against animal testing where there are in vitro alternatives. At this time, however, there are no cellular cultures or models to replicate aquatic toxicity testing to the extent we need.”
