Galen and Nicole With Friend Autumn – CEO of Stream2Sea Stream2Sea Tests to Save Sea Life What you wash off yourself often ends up in streams, rivers, and then oceans.Īnd personally, the chemical based sunscreens like Coppertone also make us feel ill when we use them, which is not the case with Stream2Sea. Reef safe sunscreen is also important if you are not snorkeling, but are around other bodies of water. We have seen the oily sheen of sunscreen on the water at popular beaches, and it seems unlikely that all the dead coral at busy beaches is entirely due to physical damage. Probably the most important thing we would like you to realize after reading this Stream2Sea sunscreen review is that it has been scientifically proven that some of the chemicals used by most of the big sunscreen brands kill corals and fish. Stream2Sea Is the Most Reef Safe Sunscreen We Can Find And we no longer test those products because they are not reef safe. We have yet to find a major brand sunscreen that is as water-resistant as Stream2Sea. It is worth noting that we also used to test and use the major sunscreen brands like Coppertone, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, etc.
It does come off in the shower with a soapy washcloth. You do need to apply it correctly and let it dry before entering the water. Obviously for us as snorkelers this is very important. Stream2Sea Is Very Water-ResistantĮvery version of their sunscreen stays on your body in the water, or when you are sweating from exercise. And the Every Day Active SPF 45 prevents burns equally well. We may get a little bit of a suntan using the SPF 20, but no burns. In fact we use the SPF 20, instead of the SPF 30, because it does such a good job. But when you apply these products correctly, and reapply it as needed during the day, they do an excellent job of preventing burns. If you have ever gone snorkeling or swimming in a hot place you know that the water magnifies the sun and you can get completely torched. We continue to do new sunscreen tests regularly and report about our findings in our monthly newsletter. In 2022 we also tested Stream2Sea’s new Every Day Active SPF 45 Mineral Sunscreen on a snorkeling trip. Besides that, the product performs the same. But, the tint does come off on light colored clothing, and it could stain some clothing, although so far we have found it comes out with soap and a little scrubbing. You pretty much can’t tell you are wearing it. They do an excellent job of concealing that you are wearing sunscreen. Their tinted sunscreens use the exact same formula as the non-tinted products, but they add an iron based coloring. We have also tested their tinted SPF 20 Sport and tinted SPF 30 Sport. For this Stream2Sea sunscreen review we have extensively tested the Stream2Sea SPF 20 Sport and SPF 30 Sport.
