Knowing that the ingredients in many traditional skin and hair care products can contribute to coral bleaching and a host of other environmental harms, I set about creating products — and a company — that puts the health of marine life, and your families, first.

I’ve had many people say to me “I understand why you would make sunscreen, but why a body lotion?” To me, it makes perfect sense.  We are exploring the planet, swimming, biking, and playing in the sun, the wind, the heat, and the cold.  Even with diligent sunscreen use, our skin needs antioxidant protection and nourishment. I created this lotion to be super rich in both, without leaving you feeling greasy.  I love it, and hope you will too!

    This lotion was purchased for a seven-day livaboard scuba excursion. You do need to work a little to rub the lotion in to get it to absorb, as is to be anticipated from an all-natural product. It was excellent for my body, but I would suggest switching to a different face moisturizer since it left my face feeling less soft and smooth than when I used my regular face moisturizers. In the end, I thought it did an excellent job of keeping my arms and legs moisturized in a setting where I was worried about making sure my items were reef safe.

  2. Raph_12 (verified owner) –

    The eco-conscious family living on an island who spends much of their time in and around the ocean will love this lotion, in particular! Over the past year, my 2-year-old son has developed some dry skin on his arms and thighs, and I’ve found that this lotion has been quite helpful. As a mother, it offers me peace of mind knowing that I’m using a product that won’t hurt my kids or the environment. It also smells fantastic!

  3. DD. (verified owner) –

    I love this body lotion! It has a light, clean scent; it does not feel greasy; my skin feels healthy and moisturized!

  4. Vaughn –

    This body lotion helped my incredibly pale skin recover from 2nd degree burns while at a field station. Stream2Sea sent a 1oz bottle and that little bottle saved me and my students from post-burn pain. My skin healed much faster than normal, and the relief from the burn was almost instantaneous.

  5. JR. (verified owner) –

    I love the 32 oz pump bottle. So easy! The scent is wonderful and the lotion is not greasy, soaks right in. Please don’t stop making this amazing product! Incidentally, my cat also loves it and would eat it from a bowl if he could. 🙂

  6. Rachael –

    Received a sample of this lotion in an order, and I’m so happy I did! The lotion worked wonders on my skin and smells amazing. I have pretty sensitive skin and had no issues. It also helped my skin recover from burns. I will definitely be ordering a larger size in the future!

  7. LC. (verified owner) –

    We LOVE Stream2Sea products! Living in Hawaii we are seeing the devastating effects in our reefs and corals.
    Here’s a post I made on Social Media..

    Certain ingredients in biodegradable sunscreen are toxic to corals and reef fish, but are still in products that are labeled reef safe.
    4,000 to 6,000 TONS of sunscreen washes off our bodies and into our coral reefs every year.

    fantastic natural product

  9. Jayson (verified owner) –

    enjoyed the feel and the fragrance

  10. VM. (verified owner) –

    I am an avid skin lotion user from way back and I love this product. The lotion has a rich feel and a light, coconutty aroma. Most importantly, it leaves my skin feeling well moisturized. I wash with the Stream2Sea hair and body wash, then moisturize with the lotion – a perfect pairing. I am so very glad to have found Stream2Sea products!

  11. JB. (verified owner) –

    I used this while I was travelling. It worked well for the burns and to avoid dry skin. It was light and smells really good!

  12. Mai_ya (verified owner) –

    I’m thrilled with this purchase. My hands stay moisturized all day long because of it. At a beach clean-up, I won a little bottle, and that one by itself lasted me a month. When used, not much is required. I adore how they inform you about the dangerous substances found in the majority of modern products.

  13. Marienella_Oh (verified owner) –

    This is THE best body lotion product available since it not only moisturizes dry skin but also protects the environment and you from hazardous toxins.

  14. NB. (verified owner) –

    would definitely purchase again

  15. MR. (verified owner) –

    Looking for a body lotion that would be safe for surfing in the ocean, since I like to moisturize multiple times daily and surf 1-2x daily. This lotion made me feel good about what I’m putting on my body and in the lotion… and I don’t worry that I’m damaging the environment.

  16. NW. (verified owner) –

    I love this lotion! I use it daily – it keeps my skin moisturized and smells great! I also love the eco friendly packaging.

  17. JI. (verified owner) –

    I’m not one to like coconut smells, but this works so well, I’ve gotten used to the scent and now even enjoy it. Every winter, my legs turn to ash, so it’s super nice to keep them hydrated and avoid the scratch marks. 🙂

  18. JB. (verified owner) –

    I have always used lotion morning and night to keep my skin hydrated. Being in the water many hours each day, I end up moisturizing several times a day. The Nourishing Body Lotion is an awesome product. I keep the 32oz size on my kitchen table. After applying it after a shower, I reapply about 15 minutes later. The two layers seem to replace the moisture lost due to all my swimming and scuba. It gives me peace of mind knowing that this product does not hurt the fragile reefs where I spend most of my day. Love this product. It works well over the Squalane as well! Try them both together.

  19. Levie31 (verified owner) –

    This has a tropical scent. Nicely done. Many lotions leave a greasy feeling behind, but this one absorbed quickly and was light weight.

  20. Kathryn-Ann (verified owner) –

    Love this — I use it as my body lotion and face cream. It’s light to the touch but keeps my dry skin hydrated without any outbreak.

  21. Ryleigh22 (verified owner) –

    I received a trial of this lotion when I ordered Stream2Sea’s gel hand sanitizer from EarthHero. Love it so much that I got the large version and apply it on my hands and my entire body after taking a shower. a pleasant, coconut-like fragrance. Yum.

  22. CW. (verified owner) –

    Great product!

  23. Rose (verified owner) –

    This is the best body lotion to use on your skin year round. It makes your skin feel very soft and it just melts into your skin and the lotion smells good.

  24. elena13 (verified owner) –

    This lotion works wonders. First time I ordered directly from Stream 2 Sea’s website; this time, I used Amazon. This lotion calms sunburned skin without being overly oily or heavy. The smell is amazing and delicate. I adore this item!

  25. Summer (verified owner) –

    My husband and I both LOVE this lotion. It has a great light scent, kind of like coconut. I use it on my body and my face everyday. We live in FL and it’s not heavy at all in the humidity. I’m back to buy the giant bottle because we go through it so quickly.

  26. Dylan (verified owner) –

    For our snorkeling excursions, we purchase the entire Reef Safe product line. While they all function well, I’m not a fan of the sunscreen because it never fully absorbs and stays visible on the face all day.

  27. JW (verified owner) –

    Love this! I have it everywhere and also give the products as gifts. Knowing I am protecting myself, my family, and friends as well as the ocean is the best!

    Active Body Lotion

  28. Lisa (verified owner) –

    Love this lotion! The scent is great. I moisturize daily and it makes my skin feel soft. I spend a lot of time in the water and love that using the lotion is not harming the ocean ecosystem!

    Healed My 2ndDegree Burns

    For better context: 1) I was hiking in Maine in the summer; 2) I was taking an antibiotic that made my skin more sensitive to sunlight; 3) because I washed my hands at some point, there wasn’t sunscreen on my hands.
    As I was hiking I felt AWFUL stinging on my hands and later noticed small welts on my skin. My GP confirmed previous 2nd degree burns before (also on my hands), and I knew what it was immediately. After that day I continually applied a thick coat of this body lotion on the burn and within 36 hours my burn was gone. It involved constant application, but it was all I had to soothe the pain of the burn. It looked like I never burned once the skin healed: didn’t even form freckles (which happens with me sometimes).

  30. Sue (verified owner) –

    My New Favorite Lotion

    Love how this smells and feels on my skin. And as an avid scuba diver, LOVE that this and all the Stream2Sea products are reef safe.

  31. KL. (verified owner) –

    All stream to sea products awesome

    I use mask defogger, shampoo, conditioner, squaline, sunscreen etc. All good products and kind to the environment. Leave it to a woman to figure that out!

  32. Rochet08 (verified owner) –

    This lotion has a subtle aroma and soothes dry skin without being overly thick or greasy. I appreciate that they inform you of the dangerous substances found in the majority of modern items and that the container is constructed of biodegradable sugar cane resin.

  33. Deb (verified owner) –

    too much perfume

    I could not even try it as the fragrance was way too strong–doesn’t seem that would be good for water

  34. Autumn (verified owner) –

    Hi Deb, I understand and appreciate your concern – and I’m happy to share that we will be introducing a fragrance-free version soon! That said, the fragrance we use is naturally-derived and pthalate-free. And, more importantly, our body lotion with the fragrance IS tested and proven to be safe for our waters. You can find out more from https://stream2sea.com/product-testing/. We are happy to exchange this for you if you like, and always appreciate feedback!

  35. SC. (verified owner) –

    Fantastic product!!

    This lotion makes my skin feel silky soft and perfectly moist. No sticky feeling lingers and there’s no itchy feeling left! My sensitive skin can be extremely difficult to soothe and this product works. My only hope is they make an unscented version. I have to avoid scented products, but the scent is light and fresh like an island breeze!

  36. Linda (verified owner) –

    Wonderful product! Lotion goes on good and smells good.

  37. Linda (verified owner) –

    Wonderful product! Lotion goes on great and light scent.

  38. SM. (verified owner) –

    In Love!

    I found this body lotion while on vacation in January, on Marco Island Florida! I will NEVER use another body lotion. This lotion is so amazing! It turned my mild sunburn into tan overnight, AND more beautifully, I never peeled. It’s so nourishing, soft, and not greasy. I absolutely love this lotion!! Thank you!

  39. KP. (verified owner) –

    Love this company, love these products! Is anyone else using sugar cane instead of plastic???

  40. HL. (verified owner) –

    I love how this lotion actually gets absorbed into my skin. With other lotions, I feel like I have to wipe off my hands after.

  41. BA. –

    Love this stuff!

    I received a sample of this lotion when I ordered another Stream2Sea product from EarthHero. I was trying to use plastic-free products, but I loved this lotion and was happy to see that the packaging used 90+% post-consumer recycled content. It’s important someone uses recycled plastic, so that there’s a demand for it.

    As for the product, I use it over my entire body after showering. I love the smell, which is somewhat tropical but fades and isn’t overpowering. And it moisturizers well – my partner has commented on how soft my skin is. It isn’t quite up to the task of combating my dry hands from frequent hand sanitizer use, but that can’t be helped. It does splendidly for the rest of my body.

  42. AA. (verified owner) –

    I'm obsessed with this lotion

    It smells absolutely fantastic and does it’s job. Not to mention sustainable packaging. Excellent!

  43. Farrell (verified owner) –

    Light and silky smooth

    I love this body lotion. It does have a coconut scent and I normally don’t care for scented products, but this one is nice. It leaves my skin feeling soft and silky without the heavy, greasy feel of other lotions that contain petroleum derivatives. A little goes a long way too. I will buy this again.

  44. TheStarks (verified owner) –

    It is a non-greasy, pleasant-smelling lotion. But because of the damage to the lid, the lotion leaked. Obviously, this cannot be brought on any travels.

  45. SH. (verified owner) –

    It’s perfect

    The only non toxic body lotion that isn’t an oil. It dries so fast, smells heavenly, and leaves skin smooth for days

  46. IP. (verified owner) –

    Heavenly smell and great lasting hydration

    Ordered this while in USA at a conference- brilliant service, arrived from Florida to Chicago in 2 days! Love the smell and how my skin feels after/ usually I have very dry skin and used to put moisturiser and seal with whipped body butter ( mixture of almond, cocoa, Shea and mango- home make)- but with this lotion I don’t need the extra oil to last- looking forward to be able to buy the large bottles in UK- or wait until the conference in San Francisco next year

  47. HT. (verified owner) –

    The best! clean,effectively absorbent ,lovely smell,
    brilliant sugar cane packaging. Thank you Sea 2 Stream for offering products that help us all take care of what we love.

    Nourishing Body Lotion is a winner!

    I discovered the nourishing body lotion on our latest vacation. It has a marvelous feel and hydrates my skin very well. I felt good about using it as it won’t harm our precious sea life. I’m back in dry Colorado and my skin is still hydrated! I highly recommend this product and plan to try others.

    This has to be the best body lotion on the market today. I absolutely love it! It goes on a little thicker, then absorbs immediately, and leaves your skin feeling hydrated, soft, and not in the least bit greasy. Bonus points for being so eco- and body-friendly on top of it!

    Soothing and replenishing

    I need this in the dry Southwest! Wonderful, light fragrance. Moisturizes and heals.

    Great product. I love the softness that I feel after applying the lotion. It has a great light scent as well.

    My skin feels soft & protected while the scent – light & short-lived as it is – puts me in a summertime bliss state of mind. So glad I found this!

    Shampoo and body wash

    My skin might as well have said thank you! It could breathe with no residue, squeaky clean. My hair is thick, nearly shoulder-length, needs strong curling gel and conditioner for friz control. 2 squirts of this product left it squeaky clean too. Was pleasantly surprised and feel very good not to be polluting myself and the waters around me. Thanks for this.

    Saved my skin!

    I purchased this on a whim at local health store. I suffer from dry, sensitive skin on my body and now that summer’s here, i’m spending more time outside so i needed something hydrating and with antioxidants in order to combat all the free radicals from the sun! This smells like a beach day and moisturizes like no other. i’m glad you guys have kept the same formula despite the new packing! I’ll definitely be looking into other products from you guys as you seem to have quality stuff with a good message! thank you for your efforts! keep it up!

    So good !

    The lotion smells so good ! No greasy feeling and soaks right into the skin . I used it on my trip (checked luggage) and it was so good . Used it nightly after being exposed to the sun all day & I used it back at home to treat my sun burns . So far so good , will be repurchasing soon.

Safe For You and Safe For Our Waters

What does tested & proven safe means for our bodies, waters and coral reefs?

Just because the front of the bottle might say it is reef safe does not mean that it is. That is because these terms are not yet regulated. You still need to look at the back, starting with the active ingredients listing. We have also discovered that just because a product is safe for people does not mean it’s safe in an aquatic ecosystem. Modern science has given us many lab tests to determine the safety of cosmetics, but there are currently few scientific lab tests to see if products are harmful to fish, coral and other aquatic life. We put Stream2Sea products through numerous studies to prove our safety, and believe that our products are the safest on the market for all your water, reef and outdoor activities.

Biodegradability Tests

It is important to know that just because a product is biodegradable for example, a biodegradable sunscreen, does not mean that it is non-toxic. To be considered ‘readily biodegradable’, the product must break down into its natural state from 60-80% in 28 days. Stream2Sea products are readily biodegradable in fresh and salt water.

Reef and Marine Life Safety Tests

Swimming behavior with Stream2Sea biodegradable mineral sunscreen is relatively unaffected, whereas the competitor sunscreen most definitely altered the fish’s swimming behavior.
