Stream2Sea biodegradable, tested and proven reef safe sunscreen for face & body, mineral sunblock with SPF 30 UVA/UVB

Ghostly white and does not rub in. It gets all over your clothes and does not wash off of them in water; not to mention it also smells bad. For thirty five dollars I expected a lot more. I’m trying to be eco friendly, but this product needs to come a long ways before I would consider using it again. There are much better alternatives out there.

Approved by EWG environmental working group. if you're not familiar with this group please check them out! This product is Nurse Approved! EWG are Powerhouse in alerting the government and consumers of dangerous chemicals. The European Union has banned many chemicals that are still used in the United States that are dangerous for human consumption. They also have an app where you could look up any product and it tells you on a scale the chemical exposures you may experience. Who wants to expose themselves and their family more dangerous chemicals? Remember the zinc sunscreen in the 80s and the life guards with the white noses? This sunscreen goes on thick and because of the zinc content does not rub in very easily and stays very white on the skin. I just use a few drops of water to rub it into the skin a little better so I'm not Ghostly white. I've used it four times this summer so far with hours of sun exposure paddleboarding and have not experienced any sun burns. Tanning nicely. It's expensive for the size and the amount of suntan lotion that you get. Knowing that I'm not exposing myself to additional harmful chemicals is worth it for me!

Ok

Stayed white on skin even when applied a little at a time. Becomes even more visible after getting wet. Suits the purpose as a sunscreen

Many chemically based sunscreens are toxic to coral reefs and fish. This is a mineral based sunscreen, so it is safe to wear around a reef when diving or snorkeling, and is probably much safer for humans. I burn easily and apply 50 spf at home in VT while gardening, very generously and often and still have quite a tan by the end of the summer. I used this 30 spf so I did not contribute to reef and fish death. This product stays on and protects better than spray sunblock. It has no odor. It is not at all greasy and washes off pretty well with soap. It is easy to reapply even on whey skin. It does rub off on clothes and bathing suits and leaves you a bit white, but that lets you know if you missed a spot. I like it enough that I am switching to using it at home for gardening, when I wear old cloths and dont care what it looks like. I would not wear it to a party! Worth the higher price
