Every Day Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen

There is a lot to love about this sunscreen! Spreads easily on skin and dries clear, leaving nothing but sparkles. My skin doesn't feel clogged or stressed even after day-long re-application. Stream2Sea products are gradually nudging out other sunscreen brands in my beach bag, and I couldn't be happier to find something that works so well for my sensitive skin. Highly recommend!

I work as a sailboat captain, so I wear sunscreen every day. For my peace of mind that I'm putting the best option on my body, and knowing when someone borrows my sunscreen, they won't have a bad reaction; Stream2Sea is the best. Convincing children who come on the boat with me to apply sunscreen is never a problem, either - they all want that shimmer!

Awesome product! Love this brand.

Not chalky like a lot of zinc based sunscreens. Product is pretty well mixed in the tube. It does take some rubbing to get it onto dry skin but if your skin is hydrated or moisturized it's a breeze. My skin is sorta caramel brown and it doesn't leave a white cast except when I put it on my face while I was kinda dehydrated. Even then it wasn't the traditional white cast. It just looked a bit dry and ashy. No burns. No discomfort. No loud smells. (I'm sensitive to smells!) This is the best zinc oxide based sunscreen I've ever had. And no, I did not get any type of reward, prize or incentive for leaving this review. It was really hard for me to choose a product on Amazon, so im hoping this review will help someone else. I actually ordered two sunscreens from Amazon. The other brand was more expensive, but it left a strong white cast. I'll use that one on my son on swim days and use this for us everyday. I mean it is called "Every Day Mineral Sunscreen." But yeah, I'll be stocking up on this and using them year long. The pics are of me wearing it on my arms. You can't tell which arm has the sunscreen on it. Any discoloration that you may notice is not due to the product.

This is an amazing product that I wear every day. Rain or shine, sunny or cloudy. Comes out of the tube, white and rubs in clear. I am a photographer so I’m outside a lot and depend on great sun protection. This definitely fits the bill. Thanks for another great product Stream2Sea.

It should be a very high-quality and effective sun block. But I still don’t like the scent much. My baby clearly doesn’t like how it smells and feels on her skin. Too buttery heavy. I use it because I have to, it’s just not something I enjoy putting on. Well, it does work well, so let’s use it.

It’s spring/summer time so spf is a necessity. I’ve been experimenting with different sunscreen and this one is quite strange. Perhaps it isnt weird for others if theyve used mineral sunscreen before but it’s my first time. First the consistency is thick and hard to spread around. It does go into the skin but like I said it’s hard to spread since it’s not like normal cream. This bottle could be used in one go if you have a lot of body to cover. I mainly apply this to my arms, chest and legs and it does protect well. Due to the consistency though I won’t be using it again though I can understand why others would like it since it has minerals, is eco friendly and vegan.The smell well, the best way I can put it is that is reminds me of Home Depot kind of like a faint wood like smell.

This sunscreen rubs in great for a physical sunscreen, no chalky/cakey residue. The bottle was sealed well, tamper proof. I love the fact that it is reef-safe, that is necessity when living in Hawaii. I haven’t gotten to test it on a super sunny beach day, but for an everyday sunscreen it is very comfortable to wear. I will report back after putting it to the test.Update: took the sunscreen with us to Maui and it worked very well! It is definitely THICK. I’d say warm it up in your hands a bit before trying to rub it in… and don’t have sand on your body or it turns into a thick exfoliate. It didn’t seem to leave our skin looking quite as purple as some seem to with physical ingredients. Great sunscreen for long days by the water!

This sunscreen has a lot of great things going for it. It's lightweight, absorbs well into the skin, is water resistant, and is safe for the environment. It's a great size to take with you on the go and is safe to wear in the ocean.I think the product is a little pricey if you're planning to wear it while doing yard work, but it's the perfect option if you're planning to go surfing, swimming in the ocean, or doing other activities at the beach. I appreciate and value that this company cares about the ingredients that go into its products and really considered their effect on the environment.The sunscreen is unscented (with that very slight unscented smell) and feels comfortable on the skin. I am very picky about the way sunscreen feels on my face and this one is light and not greasy. It takes a little bit to rub it in, but it completely absorbs leaving no white sheen behind.If you're looking for sunscreen to take with you to the beach, this is definitely the right choice. If you're looking for something to use for yard work, I would consider a more affordable option.

This Stream 2 Sea sunscreen feels thick and sticky going on, rather than silky smooth.I don't like sunscreen scents. Stream 2 Sea is "fragrance free," but it does have a natural scent, which I'm not crazy about, but at least it's faint. Banana Boat and Neutrogena have stronger scents.Stream 2 Sea is tinted, and claims that its tint "blends in with most skin tones" (see my photo). I'm pale, and when I rub the sunscreen on, it's not too noticeable.Its SPF 45 is not the strongest SPF out there. Neutrogena makes one with 100 SPF. But some people say there's a law of diminishing returns, with little additional benefit beyond 30 to 50 SPF.

The Stream2Sea brand's "SPF 45 Everyday Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen" is a great choice for people who are looking for a reef-safe, non-greasy, and lightweight sunscreen.The sunscreen contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are minerals that provide physical sun protection by sitting on top of the skin and reflecting away the sun's rays. The sunscreen is also water-resistant, so it can be worn while swimming or sweating.Here are some of the pros and cons of Stream2Sea SPF 45 Everyday Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen:Pros:Reef-safeNon-greasyLightweightWater-resistantContains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which provide physical sun protectionEnriched with a proprietary antioxidant blend and turmeric to protect, nourish, and restore even the most sensitive skinDoes not contain parabens, sulfates, gluten, oxybenzone or octinoxateTested and proven safe for humans, freshwater and saltwater marine lifeTubes are made from Sugarcane ResinCons:May be more expensive than some other sunscreensSome people may find the shimmer to be too muchMay leave a white cast on some skin tonesOverall, Stream2Sea SPF 45 Everyday Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen is a great choice for people who are looking for a reef-safe, non-greasy, and lightweight sunscreen.

Finally, a sunscreen option that hits all the right notes :No fragranceNo sticky, gummy feelHigh SPF ratingMineral based, not chemical basedNo icky ingredients or preservativesI used it on myself and was really impressed. I live in the desert where the sun is super intense. You will start to burn within minutes of being outside, especially if you're fair-skinned. (I am).I loved how this sunscreen felt and it protected me from getting red and burned.Although it was sweat-resistant, it washed off easily in the shower with soap.Much easier to deal with than thicker brands like Blue Lizard.I wish they made this in an adult formula in a bigger tube. I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Well, kudos to the company for being environmentally friendly. Their store page on Amazon has a variety of skin and sun products all safe for the earth. This might be for kids, but I am using it for my daily work outside and lawn care. It does go on thick, but it rubs in so you don’t notice it. Mostly I want to avoid any more sun damage after living 20 years near the beach. Yes, mineral sunscreens cost more, but they work better and zinc is not toxic to your skin. Between sun block and sun screen and suntan lotion, and all the different kinds of sun rays, we aren’t paying attention to what we grab off the shelf. Do yourself a favor and read up on it and pick a good product for your needs. It’s an investment in your skin health. This one is a good choice .

I am a little on the fence with this product - as I always look for the mineral sun screens. Officially, the not reef friendly ones cannot be sold in Hawaii any more. Though the scientific effects of the individual ingredients are not too well known yet. I would suggest buying the options that are probably better on the long run. But this sun screen is currently sold for $29. You can buy a large bottle of sunscreen of most major brands for the third of the price of this. Is this product better? Yes. Does it worth the price. I am not sure.I have currently sunscreens from like 5 different brands and to be honest, the best price value ratio can be found when your common grocery store discounts them at the end of the season. I would still go for that option, and simply buy an additional bottle that time for the next year. Currently, I cannot justify paying ~$30 for this small container of susnscreen.

I wasn’t completely sure what “shimmer” meant when I ordered this sunscreen, but it’s just as it sounds...it contains eco-friendly minerals that leave a shimmery effect on your skin. My dermatologist recommends mineral sunscreens like this one (it’s 19% zinc oxide) over chemical sunscreens…and I like that this product is reef safe. The sunscreen is very thick and white and really needs to be rubbed in completely…it’s best to follow the instructions about starting with a small amount in your palm, dabbing it all over and then rubbing it in. But once rubbed in, it’s completely sheer (there is no white cast like some other zinc sunscreens leave behind), it’s non-greasy and there is no scent. I’m just not sure if I’m into the shimmer effect for myself…but I think it would be very popular with many women/girls (or anyone who enjoys a bit of shimmer), as it has a bit more pizzazz than the average sunscreen.

This is a great sunscreen that is very natural and non-toxic. I feel great using it on my kids. However, what’s really important about it is that it is safe for our oceans and coral reefs. I think it’s really important that when buying sunscreen we give our support support environmentally safe companies like this one.

The sunscreen is small but a little goes a lot. The cream is very thick and has a smell like a diaper rash cream. It was waterproof and lasted a few washings and rubbing. The skin does look withe when applying it since is so thick. I like that is for small babys as well but i think the price is a little high for the amount you get.

This is the "official" sunscreen for my sailboat racing crew. We show up to the awards ceremony sparkling with happiness for a day on the water, and from our sunscreen that's safe to use on the boat. Here we're celebrating our win - after washing the boat with no worries about chemical runoff into the ocean.

This is my go to packing item when visiting Arizona and spending time in the mountains. Quick to apply and it has a shimmer that lasts. Caution: a little goes a long way.
