Chlorine is the biggest enemy
of colour-treated hair.
A single swim in a chlorinated pool can lift colour pigment and dry out the hair cuticle. Salt and UV compound the fade every time you go outside. Most shampoos then strip what little colour remains. The Color Protect bar is specifically formulated to cleanse without lifting colour — and it biodegrades in freshwater and saltwater so what goes down the drain does not reach the reef.
Chlorine lifts colour pigment on every swim
When chlorine contacts colour-treated hair it oxidises the pigment molecules, accelerating fade. Most shampoos use sulfates that further open the hair cuticle. The Color Protect bar uses gentle, colour-safe actives that clean without lifting the cuticle or stripping pigment.
Spirulina & squalane go beyond basic colour care
Unlike standard colour-safe shampoos, the Color Protect bar adds spirulina for deep nourishment and vegan squalane for hydration — two ingredients that replenish what chlorine and UV take out, not just slow the fade.
What you rinse off reaches the reef too
The Color Protect bar biodegrades in freshwater and saltwater within 30 days — tested in real-world conditions, not just sewage treatment plants. The conditioner and lotion bottles are Ocean Bound Plastic Certified.
Four botanicals.
One antioxidant core.
Every Stream2Sea hair and body formula is built around the same four-ingredient antioxidant blend — chosen to protect, nourish and restore hair and skin that takes a daily beating from sun, salt and chlorine.
Biodegradability — tested where it actually matters
Most biodegradability testing happens in sewage treatment plants under controlled lab conditions. Stream2Sea tests in both freshwater and saltwater environments — because that is where these products actually end up when swimmers shower at dive sites, on boat decks and at outdoor rinse stations. The formula breaks down completely within 30 days in real-world water conditions.
Wash. Condition. Nourish.
A complete post-swim or post-dive routine in three products — takes under five minutes.
Rinse first
Rinse hair and skin with fresh water to remove the bulk of salt or chlorine before washing.
Before washingBar shampoo and body wash

Leave-In ConditionerBody lotion
Apply Nourishing Body Lotion to damp skin while pores are still open. Fast-absorbing — no greasy finish, no residue.
Body Lotion“I was watching people wash their hair on the deck of a liveaboard — fragrant suds streaming directly into the water over a pristine coral reef. That image is why Stream2Sea exists. Not just the sunscreen slick coming off the snorkelers below. The shampoo. The body wash. The lotion. Everything we put on our bodies eventually reaches the water. Every formula I make has to be able to answer for that.”
What swimmers and divers are saying
“This one smells good, builds great suds, rinses easily, and left my hair feeling soft and manageable. I never, ever thought I would be able to say any of that about a shampoo bar!”
“I've been using leave-in by S2S since I first saw it on a dive boat years ago. I started using it for after dives, then it became a go-to for my growing straight hair.”
“My skin feels soft and protected while the scent — light and short-lived as it is — puts me in a summertime bliss state of mind. So glad I found this!”
“Basically a little goes a long way. The only thing I feel would make it 100% better for those of us with longer hair is a similar product but a conditioner.”

What swimmers ask us most
How does the Color Protect bar differ from the other shampoo bars?
The Color Protect bar is formulated specifically to preserve colour-treated hair. It includes a Color Defense Complex, rice water protein, spirulina and vegan squalane — ingredients chosen to reduce fade and strengthen hair exposed to chlorine and UV. The Swim Strong bar targets post-swim strength with rice protein and peppermint. The Naturally Naked bar is completely fragrance-free for sensitive skin. All three share the same biodegradable base.
How quickly does the Color Protect bar start making a difference?
Most colour-treated swimmers notice a difference in vibrancy and feel within a week of consistent use. The Color Defense Complex and rice protein work cumulatively — each wash deposits conditioning agents into the hair shaft and helps slow the oxidation that chlorine causes. Results are faster when paired with the Leave-In Conditioner, which adds UV protection between swims.
Is the Color Protect bar fragrance-free?
No — the Color Protect bar has a light lemongrass scent from a natural essential oil. It contains no synthetic fragrance, but it is not fragrance-free. If fragrance-free is a requirement, the Naturally Naked bar is the right choice. Both bars are formulated without sulfates, parabens and synthetic fragrance compounds.
Will the Leave-In Conditioner weigh down fine hair?
No — it is specifically formulated to be non-greasy and lightweight. Apply to damp hair only, using a small amount and finger-combing evenly. Multiple reviewers with fine hair note that it does not flatten their hair. A small amount goes a long way for most hair lengths.
Is the conditioner and lotion the same formula as the 32 fl oz sizes?
Yes — exactly the same formula, same concentration, same biodegradable standard. The 6 fl oz conditioner and 8.5 fl oz lotion are the standard full-size retail bottles. All bottles are Ocean Bound Plastic Certified.
What does Reef-Safer mean on the shampoo bar?
“Reef-safe” is an unregulated marketing term — any brand can use it with no testing required. Stream2Sea uses Reef-Safer™ because every ingredient is evaluated against published aquatic toxicity data. The bar formula biodegrades in freshwater and saltwater within 30 days — tested in real-world conditions, not just sewage treatment plants.
