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

Obsessed! I love everything about this sunscreen. SPF 45 is plenty, and it’s eco friendly and so sparkly! I only use mineral sunscreen so this is 100% my new favorite. I’ll definitely be checking out more of what stream2sea offers.

didn't realize "shimmer" meant glittery. Noticed on my husband first. Other than that, works great.

I love how compact this tube is—perfect for travel and easy to toss in a beach bag. It also feels good knowing I’m wearing something biodegradable and ocean-friendly, especially when I’m swimming. The shimmer is such a fun touch too—it gives a subtle sparkle, like a soft “unicorn glow” in the sun ✨ That said, the formula is thick. It takes some effort to fully rub in, and if you have melanin-rich skin, you’ll likely notice a white cast unless you really work it in. Overall, great for conscious beach days—just give yourself a little extra time to blend.

I love this brand—I wear mineral-only and reef-safe sunscreens nowadays. This blends in very well and works very well as a sunscreen on my sensitive skin (I’m allergic to sunflowers and their oil, which is in Badger, so I cannot use that brand). This version has gold flecks that reflect beautifully on the body, but don’t touch your face after applying! The flecks are too large and noticeable on the face, and it looks weird.

I have sensitive skin- prone to redness, rash, breakouts - but this product is gentle & hasn't caused me any problems! The mica sparkles are pretty & not over the top. It's a physical sunscreen that doesn't leave any white cast on my fair skin once I've rubbed it in. It seems to offer sun protection comparable to other products I've used, just remember to reapply every 2 hours. No sun burn when I've used it as directed. Non-greasy & lightweight too. My skin actually seems less dry now that I've been using it. Overall highly recommend this product & I'm so happy I found it.

This sunscreen is EWG certified which is great. I bought the shimmer version hoping for a light shimmer. The shimmer version has glitter in it. It is definitely not shimmer but a glitter treatment. I put it on before work going for a new daily sunscreen and looked like a disco ball. It took several washes to get all the glitter off. If you like glitter go for it. If you're looking for a shimmer this is definitely not for you.

Got this sunscreen because it is EWG verified and also had good reviews. It is also reef safe. An added bonus was the shimmer it gives to your skin. It's really pretty and fun. Unlike some of the other safe brands out there, this one doesn't make you look white like a ghost.

I'll be right upfront in saying, I wanted to give it 4 stars because it's terribly expensive (at least to me). Beyond that it's great. The sparkles are tiny but dense and fairly subtle. I think it's fantastic, love it.
