When you think of being eco-friendly, beauty products probably don’t jump to mind. But even though sunblock, lotion, and soaps can benefit us, once they wash off in the ocean or shower, they make their way into our environment. That can harm coral reefs, marine life and more.

Stream2Sea makes sure their sunscreen and body care is good for you without hurting ocean life or the planet. Their certified biodegradable formulas endure rigorous testing to ensure there’s minimal effect on fish, coral, and other marine life.

A cosmetic chemist and an avid diver, Founder Autumn Blum decided to create eco-friendly skin care for environmentally conscious people. While on a dive, she wondered how her repeated application of sunscreen was impacting the water. After she researched the harmful effects, she decided to make a safer alternative.

Even Stream2Sea’s recyclable packaging is made from sugar cane resins. That choice gives their containers a smaller carbon footprint than petroleum based alternatives.

Caring for yourself is always a good idea. And when your choices are eco-friendly, it’s even an even better one.
