Coral Care SPF 30
$26.95
Introducing Coral Care. The first sunscreen on the planet that’s tested and proven to nourish coral.
Protection against UVA and UVB rays and kind to all skin types, Coral Careâ„¢ is made from a naturally compliant formula that has passed rigorous aquatic safety testing. Added natural nutrients and minerals are used by coral farmers to support coral growth. During the University of Darby’s trials, they discovered Coral Care can boost healthy growth by as much as 21%.
We believe Coral Care is a positive step towards turning the tide on coral bleaching.
What makes Coral Care unique?
Coral Care is the world’s first sunscreen that isn’t just reef-safe, but actively feeds and nourishes coral. This is thanks to research and collaboration with leading cosmetic chemists and marine experts to create a unique formula, containing nutrients used by coral farmers to help coral thrive.
Coral Care has undergone extensive testing at the prestigious University of Derby, a university that excels in marine sciences. During our testing, we discovered Coral Care can boost healthy growth by as high as 21% in some species of coral.
We believe Coral Care is a positive step forward towards turning the tide on coral bleaching.
Directions For Use: Apply liberally (2mg/cm2 of skin) to exposed skin, in sections, then rub in to reduce the whitening effect. For children under 6 months of age: ask a doctor. For face & body, does not burn eyes. If your skin is too dry, apply a little moisturizer (like our Super Hydration Squalane) first before application.
Reapply Mineral Sunscreen: After 80 minutes of swimming or sweating (preferably on dry skin), or immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
Smart Sun Safety Tips: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease these risks, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and practice other sun protection measures including:
- Limit time in the sun, especially from 10am – 2pm.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses.
Now put on your sunscreen and go play!

Coral reefs are crucial for over a quarter of all marine life and beneficial to over a billion people worldwide providing food, income, medicine and coastal protection. However current studies show 90% of coral reefs will become functionally extinct by as soon as 2030 if we don’t start making important lifestyle changes.
Up to 14,000 tons of sunscreen end up in the world’s oceans every year. Oxybenzone, a chemical found in 80% of sunscreens, has been proven to have a lethal effect on sea-life and can kill coral and coral larvae in even the smallest of doses. Not only is it a coral killer, but recent studies have also shown it may also have a much larger negative effect on our skin as it’s being absorbed in much higher doses than skincare experts previously believed. Some studies and researchers have even found traces of it in blood and breast milk samples.
You’ve heard of SPF, introducing RPF
Many brands and sunscreen products out in the world right now claiming to be reef-safe, aren’t, which is causing a lot of damage to the reefs, while also misleading the public about which products are genuinely safe for coral and sea-life. This is why Coral Care carries the new RPF certification. We believe that Reef Protection Factor will be game-changing in marine conservation. Right now, it’s just on our Coral Care product range, but in the future, we hope other brands will use this certification as proof of their intentions toward coral safety and regeneration.

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.
