About
Our Story
Stream2Sea was founded in 2015 in rural central Florida when Autumn Blum, an avid scuba diver and cosmetic chemist, saw an oil slick coming off a group of snorkelers in Palau. She realized that the products we put on our bodies could be highly toxic to our fragile aquatic ecosystem and knew she had to do something about it. Today, Stream2Sea has the only mineral-based sunscreen on the planet that’s been tested and proven safe for freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and coral larvae and has passed the stringent HEL Labs Protect Land + Sea certification.
And the best part is, our sunscreen actually gets better when it gets wet, meaning the days of reapplying sunscreen are in the past!
WetBoost™ Technology Before and After Immersion
Most sunscreens lose 30 – 60% of their sun protection after 80 minutes in the water, but NOT Stream2Sea! Besides the fact that our new Every Day Mineral Sunscreens go on light and sheer, these formulas are so water-resistant, that they actually perform BETTER after you go for a swim!
“Advantageously, the sunscreens described here may surprisingly and unexpectedly exhibit an increase in sun protection factor after being immersed in water.” — Report
Whether your adventure takes you to the top of a mountain, the bottom of the ocean, or the treehouse in the backyard, Stream2Sea products were developed to never let you down.

Our Products

They're also effective in all weather conditions, and don't wash off in the water so you won't have to reapply throughout the day. As the focus of our mission, we actively avoid known endocrine disruptors and chemical ingredients that impact our water ecosystems and cause bodily harm to our adventurous consumers and their families.
