STREAM 2 SEA Every Day Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 — Golden Glow, 2.5 fl oz | 19% Non-Nano Zinc, Water Resistant 80 Min

STREAM 2 SEA Every Day Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 in Golden Glow is a reef-safe, biodegradable zinc-oxide sunscreen that protects skin while adding a subtle, buildable golden shimmer for face and body.

This lightweight mineral sunscreen blends broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a soft luminizing finish, formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin and safer for aquatic life. With 19% non-nano zinc oxide as the active filter, Wet Boost technology for superior performance after water exposure, and reef-safer testing, it doubles as a highlighter and daily sun protector. The 2.5 fl oz tube is travel-friendly and housed in sugarcane resin packaging for reduced plastic impact.

How does this sunscreen protect skin while still shimmering?

The formula relies on 19% non-nano zinc oxide to create a physical barrier against UVA and UVB rays, while micro-fine mica and light-reflecting pigments produce the golden sheen. Because the shimmer components sit on the surface, they catch light without adding greasy residue. The result is sun defense with a natural, sun-kissed glow you can build up as desired.

• 19% non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum coverage
• Sheer, buildable shimmer—from subtle to more luminous
• Non-greasy finish suitable for makeup layering

Is this safe for reefs and freshwater environments?

STREAM 2 SEA products are independently evaluated for aquatic safety; this sunscreen is biodegradable in both salt and freshwater and tested on coral larvae and fish species. It avoids reef-harming filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate and meets regional reef-protection bans. The brand also uses sustainable sugarcane resin for the tube to lower its environmental footprint.

• Independently aquatic-tested for coral and fish safety
• Formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate
• Biodegradable ingredients and sugarcane resin packaging

How well does it perform in water and during active days?

Built with Wet Boost technology, the lotion maintains and even improves its UV protection after exposure to water, with an advertised water resistance up to 80 minutes. It goes on light and stays comfortable during beach days, pool sessions, and water sports. Reapply according to activity level and manufacturer guidance for continuous protection.

Can people with sensitive or acne-prone skin use this daily?

This mineral sunscreen is non-comedogenic and free from common irritants such as parabens, sulfates, and gluten, making it suitable for many sensitive skin types. Skin-soothing botanicals like organic aloe and green tea are included to calm and nourish. Patch testing is recommended if you have highly reactive skin or known sensitivities.

It’s particularly useful for those prioritizing reef-safe ingredients, lightweight feel, and a natural sun-kissed finish without layering separate products.
