STREAM 2 SEA tinted mineral sunscreen SPF 45 — 2.5 fl oz, reef-safe dewy finish & 80-min water resistance

STREAM 2 SEA Every Day Tint Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 is a reef-safer, tinted zinc oxide sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum SPF 45 protection with a natural dewy finish and no white cast.

This lightweight mineral sunscreen combines 19% non-nano zinc oxide with a sheer tint to even skin tone while protecting against UVA and UVB rays. Developed by a cosmetic chemist who is also a scuba diver, the formula is independently aquatic-life tested and packaged in sugarcane resin. It’s designed to perform on wet skin, blend smoothly under makeup, and rinse away without harming coral or marine life.

How does this sunscreen stay effective in water and during activities?

The formula uses a Wet Boost approach that improves performance after exposure to water, offering reliable resistance during swimming or sweating. It’s water resistant for 80 minutes and formulated for repeated exposure to ocean and pool environments.

• Wet Boost Technology increases UV protection after getting wet.
• 80 minutes of water resistance—suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
• Mineral-based zinc oxide remains stable in sun and water conditions.
• Biodegradable ingredients reduce aquatic impact after rinsing.

Will this leave a white cast or work under makeup?

The sheer mineral tint is crafted to minimize the traditional white cast of zinc sunscreens while gently evening skin tone. When warmed between the palms and blended in sections, it absorbs to a natural, dewy base that sits well beneath foundation or can be worn alone for light coverage.

• Neutral, skin-toning tint reduces visible white residue.
• Works as a hydrating makeup primer or light coverage finish.
• Apply sparingly and blend for seamless, non-powdery look.
• Suitable for face and body—one tube stretches through daily use.

Is this safe for sensitive skin and eco-aware users?

The cleanser-free, non-comedogenic formula avoids common irritants and includes botanical extracts to soothe and support skin. Stream2Sea emphasizes aquatic safety: the product is biodegradable in fresh and saltwater and has undergone independent testing on coral larvae and fish species.

• Free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, sulfates, and gluten.
• Contains organic aloe vera, jojoba esters, green tea, tulsi, and turmeric.
• EWG-verified for ingredient transparency and safer formulation.
• Packaged in sugarcane resin to reduce plastic footprint.

How should I apply it for best results and longevity?

For smooth, even coverage, warm a small amount between your palms before applying and work in sections. Reapply according to activity level—especially after prolonged swimming or toweling—and follow standard sun-protection practices such as seeking shade during peak UV hours.

• Warm between hands and blend in sections for even coverage.
• Reapply every 80 minutes when in water, or more often with heavy sweating.
• A little product goes a long way—ideal for daily facial use.
• Safe for face and body; pair with physical sun protection habits.

Who is this for? This tinted SPF 45 is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, beachgoers, and everyday users who want reliable mineral protection that’s gentle on sensitive skin and kinder to marine ecosystems. It’s also a good pick for makeup-minimalists seeking a hydrating primer with sun protection and for travelers who need compact, water-resistant coverage in a sustainable package.
