STREAM 2 SEA Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30 All Natural, Biodegradable and Reef Safe, 3 Fl oz Non Greasy and Moisturizing Mineral Sunscreen For Face and Body Protection Against UVA and UVB

I had picked up a sample of this sunblock at a convention and found that it worked really well. As a mineral based product, there is no need to put a ton of this on for it to be effective. I am very pale and burn very easily, even with 50 SPF products. This sunblock is 30 SPF and I had my doubts. Once I applied this in a thin layer as directed, I instantly felt cooler. It lasts a long time in the water and does not wipe off easily with a towel (good when you are spending hours on the beach or a boat). I did not burn at all using this product. I have now made Stream2Sea the only sunblock that I use. It's wonderful that they are reef safe as many places are banning other sunblocks with harmful ingredients. All of their packaging is biodegradable as well and is made with a plant based plastic material. I highly recommend their products.

Yes, as others have posted this will rub off on clothing - but is washes out - though not great on our white sun shirts at the collar. We used this for 10 days in the Galapagos - and didn’t get burned at all. The best sun protection is clothing - so we reserved this for our faces, necks and hands, and 1 bald head. We hiked and snorkeled and it stays on MUCH better than traditional sunscreen and needs to be washed/rubbed off. I would not suggest this if you are wanting to lay out at a pool or beach - it’s going to take a lot to cover torso and legs. But for active trips in environmentally sensitive areas it is perfect.

STREAM 2 SEA Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30 is pretty good sun protection. Its all-natural, biodegradable formula ensures guilt-free application, while the tint provides a flawless finish. Non-greasy and moisturizing, it keeps skin hydrated without clogging pores. As it feels good on my face- I was shocked to see the coverage is not like my other tinted Sunscreen- It's a little heavy. BUT- Think about it, on the YUKA APP- it rated very high for not having All the TOXINS. This broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays is a must. With its reef-safe formula and eco-conscious packaging, it's a win-win for both skin and the environment.

I bought this product to wear while snorkeling in the Caribbean. I thoroughly read reviews and was excited to find a brand that protected the reefs while still providing sun protection. I paid for rushed delivery and was on my way to the ocean! While on the boat headed to the reefs, my sister and I started applying the product. We found it to be very thick and while we appreciated that it was tinted so that we would not look completely covered in white paste, it also got brown stains on our clothes, shoes and bathing suit (it does come out in the wash.) It doesn't completely rub into your skin so you're stuck trying not to touch anything with your skin and leaving brown smudges all over the boat. We have paler skin so our hands were stained after applying the lotion. Although, my sister noted that it made her look tanner which was a perk to her. While we were snorkeling we noticed how much of the reef was bleached. I'd guess over 85% of the reef we went to was bleached from constant tourists being brought there to snorkel and ruining the reef with their sunscreen. It made me feel guilty for the regular sunscreen I had applied to my shoulders after I tired of the sticky brown sunscreen. Conclusion: buy a long sleeve shirt to wear when snorkeling to cut down on the amount of sunscreen you need to apply. You'll still need to apply some sunscreen but the shirt will help. Just make sure to lather up after you've finished snorkeling.

Love this sunscreen! I’ve been purchasing it from the manufacturer website, but found it cheaper here with free shipping. I only buy natural, reef friendly sunscreens, and have found this brand to work very well at protecting my very fair skin from sunburn. It holds up beautifully. In November we visited Oahu where I hiked Diamond Head, and snorkeled without any problem. The tint is nice, especially on my face, as sometimes natural sunscreens can leave a somewhat pasty white color after application. You do have to be a little careful about color transfer from the sunscreen onto clothes though. It can stain light colors.

Smells like feet, hard to spread. I do not recommend, it was a waste of money. I threw out both tubes.

Update: The seller contacted me following my review and was very polite, offering to make it right. Really great customer service. This tinted sunscreen wasn’t for me, but I’d consider trying the non-tinted from this brand. For the record, the sunscreen did work and I didn’t burn. Original review: We brought this on vacation for using at the beach/snorkeling, and we ended up avoiding this sunscreen like the plague. The big problem is the tinted factor. The sunscreen is brown (and also very thick—too thick). It gets on clothes and turns them brown at the edges. It took some work to scrub it off my yellow swim suit top. We couldn’t get it off his ball cap, the only one he brought. It also doesn’t absorb great, so things you touch will be impacted as well. It’s great that it’s reef safe and likely pretty effective—but I wouldn’t fool with it.

Good for the planet, good for your skin, totally worth it! Please center sustainability in FL and all over the world!
