High-performance Mineral Sunscreen; The organic ingredients in our skin care products act as a physical shield that provides protection on the surface of your skin against both UVA and UVB rays of the sun. This means that the sunscreen literally sits on the surface of your skin – which renders more safety to your body unlike most chemical sunscreens where harsh ingredients are absorbed in our pores.
Wet Boost Technology; Most sunscreens lose 30-60% of their sun protection after 80 minutes in the water, but not our reef safe sunscreen. Our Every Day body and face sunscreens go on light and sheer and these formulas are so water resistant that they actually perform 45% better after you go for a swim. The neutral tint blends in with most skin tones for a natural and protective glow.
Perfect for Everyday Use; Even though our Every Day Mineral Sunscreen is sheer and lightweight, applying a mineral sunscreen is different from what you might be used to. Apply in sections and rub in to blend. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming, sweating, or immediately after towel drying. Use everyday or as needed for all your outdoor adventures!
Moisturizing Formula; Unlike a tinted moisturizer without SPF, this non-greasy and non-comedogenic formula is enriched with our proprietary antioxidant blend and turmeric to protect, nourish, and restore even the most sensitive skin daily. Our natural, eco-conscious formula does not contain parabens, sulfates, gluten, oxybenzone or octinoxate. Healthy for the eyes, skin and the oceans!
Our Formula Is Reef Safe; Many chemical-based sunscreen are toxic to coral reefs and fish. Our product is a natural and eco-friendly mineral sunscreen. This has been tested and proven safe for humans, freshwater and saltwater marine life. Even our tubes are eco-conscious – all Stream 2 Sea containers are made from Sugarcane Resin. Happy seas and happy skin indeed!

I’ve likely gone through 30+ different facial sunscreens in the past year and half, including but not limited to: 5 of EltaMDs, Neutrogena, 3 of La Roche Posay, Cerave, Cetaphil, 3 of Blue Lizard, 3 of SuperGoop, Waxhead, Suntegrity, etc.) trying to find the most optimal one for my needs. Although I found an everyday chemical Korean one which is not staining but not waterproof, I still wanted one that I could use for physical/sweating activities as well, and something that could color blend my face nicely together as a man. And this Stream2Sea Tinted right here is the one.Pros:- EWG Verified, one of only a few tinted zinc sunscreens that is- Never pills (Out of 11 tinted zinc sunscreens, this is the only one with no piling for me. Take this with a grain of salt though, I’ve seen reviews say that before but I didn’t have the same experience as them)- High Zinc Oxide % = Better UV-A Protection (my main concern is UVA Spectrum coverage)- Included anti-oxidants, having free radical protection is an often overlooked factor of sun protection that needs more attention as it damages skin- Price (at time of purchase): $~11/oz, very comfortable pricing (compared to EltaMD of $~21/oz)- Excellent tint tone, can blend with different skin colors- I don’t believe this feels greasy- No skin irritation on me- Sunscreen does not “crack” when stretching skin like EltaMD does (stretching as in opening mouth to eat, yawning, etc.)Neutral/No Factor:- Moisturizing factor not noticed, as I apply a moisturizer 3-5 min beforehand- Higher UV protection in water was not applicable in my situation, have not gone swimming with this- This product comes out thick, but does not necessarily go on as thick- No added fragrance but!: smells like what you think zinc would smell like, I personally enjoy it. Either way, not noticeable after application- Needs more effort and slight increased time to spread and blend to skin, not substantial thoughCons:- Can stain clothing (all tinted mineral sunscreens will stain unfortunately, so don’t wear this with white clothing please!)- Hard to remove, but this is common with waterproof sunscreens. Face wash does not do the trick, needs either more physical rubbing or a makeup remover like Garnier (works perfectly)- Too shiny, not enough to be concerning but definitely noticeableI am a Pilot, and while I can’t wear this sunscreen with any uniform as it will stain it, it works phenomenally with my general aviation flying. On hot summer days in Arizona where the sun is blasting and the airplane cabin is toasty, this sunscreen does not fail me despite all the sweating on my face and neck. Further more, I have never noticed any sun burns with this. The color of the tint is fantastic for my skin, and I think for others as well. It does not make you look like an oompa loompa (*ahem Waxhead ahem*), nor is the tone too cold. A universal blend. Although the perfect sunscreen can never exist, as everyone has their own needs and desires, I believe I have found the closest thing to a “golden sunscreen”, and because of that – I will continue to use this indefinitely (or until a better one is found).Pictures -1: Bottle2: Hand before application3: Hand after 5 seconds of rubbing in(please ignore my lack-of-tan where my would-be watch is, my actual hand in the picture is my typical showing skin color)————-TLDR: After 11 tinted sunscreens, this is my favorite one. Strongly recommended to purchase to give it a try. Very fair pricing, great sweat protection, healthy ingredients, strong UVA protection, low risk of skin allergic reaction. Will recommend to family and friends!—-Edit: March 2024 -Hi everyone, after some research I found another sunscreen which will replace this one for my daily use. It’s a European one called UVMune 400 by La Roche-Posay. It has the best chemical protection of the last 380-400nm wavelength (longest UVA, most contributive to wrinkles). But!!! That one is only a special order through an international website. So, while my new replacement can’t be ordered from any US websites or Amazon, I will still continue to recommend this tinted sunscreen as your go to for a USA-made sunscreen.As the European one is quite pricey to import, I don’t want to use it as much as I want. Therefore, I will still use this tinted one on my face for any sports/beach activities. Plus Zinc Oxide isn’t harmful or absorbed either!

I have used this sunscreen for almost 2 weeks and it works really well. I have very pale skin tone and since using I have had no sunburn or even redness. It has a tint so no white shine but the tint goes on translucent so no streaks or lines either. It also does not clog my pores. I originally ordered this product because it has a non-toxic rating by EWG and I am very happy with how well it works. I highly recommend!

Wife loves the stuff. It does not look like the normal stuff that is like white paint. I like the white version because you can see where your covered.

Looks heavy at first but soaks it. Just the right amount of tint

It creates a glow. It can be used under regular makeup and creates a nice base. Very nice.
