STREAM 2 SEA Active Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 Reef Safe EWG Verified

This is my all-time favorite sunscreen. Pros: * No hidden chemical photofilters * UVA protection boosted by turmeric extract * Doesn't feel greasy * No white cast * Reduced white residue on black leather I've tried several mineral sunscreens to get away from chemical sunscreens, and I felt betrayed when I realized that a lot of them were using a chemical photofilter (butyloctyl salicylate) and not claiming it as an active ingredient. Stream2Sea doesn't use butyloctyl salicylate or other chemical photofilters, and I appreciate that. I also like that they boost their UVA and blue-violet-light protection with turmeric extract since zinc alone is UVB-biased. Some sunscreens like Waxhead Sunscreen have a strong white cast and left me feeling very pale. Stream2Sea does not do that. Contrasted with simple-ingredient water-free sunscreens I've tried like Badger Sun Cream and Waxhead Sunscreen, this formula feels a lot less greasy, and I notice less residue on my black leather-like car seats. When I go somewhere tropical, I burn the first few days of sun exposure and then tan. I went to Hawai'i and used Stream2Sea and avoided burning completely. It was wonderful.

Rubs in easily and lasts hours. Great product!

This sunblock is very resistant to sweat & water so it’s great for sporty activities but it also means it is difficult to remove & requires a fair amount of scrubbing in the shower. I love it for playing tennis on a hot day.

EVERYDAY ACTIVE MINERAL SUNSCREEN was highly lauded by the EWG group. I would say that after a a dozen uses that I am very pleased with its protection. This is the primary purpose of sunscreen. However, from a comfort level, the cream, which probably has zinc in it is thick. It’s not that hard to apply on face, but easier if you apply a little moisturizer on first.. The effect is a very white sheen. Personally, I don’t care because I cover the sunscreen with a little tinted foundation or sometimes a tinted face powder. I wouldn’t use this as all over body sunscreen. Too thick for that, but as a face sunscreen it is very good.

Waterproof and highly protective. Goes on smooth. Nice texture and consistency.

Very nice quality sunscreen! No white cast at all, no scent, doesn't leave a greasy or dry texture on my skin! And it has very clean ingredients as it is EWG certified! Highly recommend!

I’ve been dealing with a mystery rash from hell all summer on my shoulders, that hasn’t reacted too kindly to the sensitive mineral sunblocks I’ve tried around here. I decided to try this one after seeing it’s rated well by Allergic Living. It hasn’t made my dermatitis feel worse, and I am really impressed with how well it blended into my skin! I wasn’t expecting that, but sure is a bonus. I thought I had to accept the fact that if I want to protect my skin and not irritate it, then I am doomed look like a glue stick. Woo!

It's a bit thick, goes on very white but then disappears. It's good for working in the garden as it doesn't seem to attract dirt. Trying my best for the planet. Don't go to the beach or pool like I used ti, but wanted a reef safer product going down the drain when I shower.

Excellent product, absorbs into skin fairly well for eco product. You do look rather pale after application but not an issue for us!

Used every hour during a 5 hour hike in southern England. Completely ineffective as I ended up with sun burns all over my body. An alternative much cheaper product was used for my neck and face and it worked like a charm. I do not recommend this overpriced rubbish. It's also very thick which makes it annoying whilst applying
