I formulated our Stream2Sea Outdoor Soothing Gel to cool and soothe the skin. I got into firecoral during one dive, and afterwards made this gel with marine enzymes, essential oils and powerful botanicals. Great to keep on hand anytime the outdoors fights back!
A creator really shouldn’t choose favorites, but if pressed, I’d have to say this is the product that makes me the most proud. Natural aloe vera gels usually leave a tacky feel on the skin, and do little for truly soothing the skin. My formula works impressively and it feels wonderful going on!

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.

I am amazed at this relief gel (sun and sting) from stream2sea.
I am a Canadian physician and usually never take the time to write reviews but I want people to know about this product.
My skin reacts a lot to the stinging cells in the ocean. Over the years I have tried a lot of different products and tricks and none of them worked fully. Last week I was introduced to the gel and it works like magic! I have used it almost everyday because there is a lot around now.
I apply it right after my swim on the red areas and the redness disappears completely within an hour! Really completely!
I am never going to the ocean again without taking this product with me!
You have to try this and have it with you in case you need it because I found that it is much more effective when applied the same day.

Great product, very soothing, love that it’s organic and natural!

Not only does this gel smell amazing, but it works so well. I unfortunately met thimble jellies in the Bahamas last week and applied this Relief Gel and the itch never even had a chance to start. Add to that I missed a spot when sunscreening and got a burn on my back – applied the same Gel and it soothed, calmed, and I haven’t peeled. Bonus points for being told I smell amazing by everyone around me, despite being covered in red spots and stripes. Huge fan, works like a charm!

After a sunburn, that’s just what I needed. My skin absorbed it and didn’t leave any grease. I wish I had more than just the small size back then.

I am part Mermaid, and salt water runs through my veins. However, jellyfish have an unfortunate attraction to me: they LOVE me.
Yesterday, I was badly introduced to a Portuguese Man-o-war. OUCH!
Stream2Sea Sun and Sting Relief Gel to the RESCUE!!! I liberally applied the gel to my foot, and the soothing was INSTANTANEOUS. Really. I applied the gel a few more times, and this morning – all better. Thanks
Stream2Sea: Y’all ROCK. Best products EVER.

My skin is very fair and burns easily. I bought this because it smelled wonderful and I had a bad sunburn on my legs. It applies smoothly and eases the pain. After one day of use I could already see a difference in the burn (it was not as red) and it felt much better. I usually don’t post reviews but this formula is TOTALLY AWESOME! It is a must have for anyone who easily gets sunburned. What a fabulous product!
Carolyn (verified owner) –
We use this product for EVERYTHING!!!! From sun burns, to ant bites, to jelly stings, to coral stings, to general salty stings! We love this product and very happy it comes in large size. We think this is the best thing we have found!

I have an annoying nerve condition that causes my leg to itch. I was told to use different topical products to no avail, then I received this product, it has helped tremendously subside the annoying itch 🙂

I have very fair skin, and I burn super fast. I have never felt relief of a burn as fast as this gel! I generally use a lidocaine based burn gel, and this fast surpassed the relief of that. You’ve got a customer for life! (Plus it smells wonderful!)

I loved how quick this product worked!

I had a bad burn behind my knees and this stuff not only smells wonderful, but helped keep the stinging sensation away for awhile after applying. I prefer it over Aloe because it’s not sticky.
DF. (verified owner) –
The BEST after sun care product ever used! Also works AMAZING for itchy bug bites!
AH. (verified owner) –
I ran into this gel at a dive show and fell in love! I use this every morning on my face and neck after washing. It dries without leaving any sticky or oily residue and leaves my skin feeling firm and soft. I continued buying it for that purpose once I realized how good it felt on my skin! I have used it on sunburns here and there as well and it works great for that also. I have been using it daily for over a year now! It also feels good to know that the packaging is so much more environmentally friendly than anything you would pick up off the shelf in a drug store or supply store!

I burn super easy. 15 minutes outside without sunscreen, and I can be burnt. In Key West, I spent an afternoon with sun beating directly on the back of my legs. They were burnt – bright red. I didn’t pack the aloe Vera because I took a carry-on. So, I bought this stuff at the hotel. I haven’t peeled. I should have, but using this stuff (and the Neutrogena lotion at the hotel) kept me from peeling! I got it to help with the pain, but then I read what it is supposed to do. I’m going to have to get more in case I burn again, but I recommend.

I have to admit I was skeptical to use an after sun product because I never felt like they worked. Previously I have used aloe style products from the convince store and always ended up peeling after a sunburn. I had the worst sunburn visiting my mom in Florida and she told me to use the Sun and Sting gel. I used it around two times daily and not only did it sooth the areas, after a week I never peeled. I was amazed and sold. I will never use anything else. Highly recommend!!

I use the relief gel as part of my facial care when I have a blemish
I use a little dab of it. The gel is easy to control and it’s all natural ingredients!

My skin is fair and I burn easily, and was far more sensitive to the sun from the medicine I was taking while on vacation. I got a bad second-degree sunburn on the backs of my hands (washed sunscreen off and didn’t reapply), and after several applications the redness dissipated, most of the welts faded, and my skin never peeled. I have had less-severe burns that peeled. Well done team!

We took a vacation at Panama City Beach, my daughter and I got a sun burn mine mostly was my face. I on a very tiny bit and that evening they went away on my face. I truly believe in this product. My daughter is using it now. She has sunburn on her ear and arms, and it’s instant relief. I would recommend! We bought it at a shop at pier park in Florida.

We went to the Panama City Beach and we got sun burn in places my face started to blister my arms the lady in the Boutique at Pier Park just got some of this in. She looked at my face and told me I needed to try it my face was getting little blisters popping up and so I did it was only one ounce I put some on as soon as I left and my blisters heeled up that evening my face arms cleared up. Listen I am totally amazed with this product. I am buying a bigger tube to keep this product around we like being out side and in pool when at home or beach, lakes etc

We went to Panama City Beach we laid out in the sun we had fun and got sun burned we started getting blisters. We got some of the after sun from here to put on our skin and mine went away almost instantly. I about would not have believed it if I had not seen it.

I bought a sample size of this and am back to order more. It works great for bug bites and feels nice after a day in the sun.

I use it from head to toe. Great for the scalp. My hair loves it with lots of body and so shiny.
Alice (verified owner) –
This product is the best after burn product I have ever tried. When I applied it to my face after a burn I was pleasantly surprised that my sensitive acne prone skin didn’t break out, in fact it looked great! I now use this on my face, neck, and chest every night and wake up with moisturized and acne free skin.

Saved my other half’s sunburned shoulders & back. Applied on the sunburn area for 2 days along with stream to sea moisturizing lotion and the skin was healed even the peeling stoped:) Great product, I will have in my dive bag & beach bag always, highly recommend!

This works so good for sun burn! My son had an awful burn after soccer camp last year, and this helped almost instantly. Stocking up for this summer right now! I also use this everytime I shave—it prevents razor burn every single time! Can’t live without it.
Plus, it smells SO delicious!

I absolutely love stream2sea sun and sting soothing gel. Personally I’ve owned aloe plants but this gel works better than any aloe including fresh from the plant. Not to mention how good it smells! If you forget to apply your stream2sea sunscreen and end up pink, don’t forget to apply your sting relief before the night is over to avoid the red burn.
KS. –
I LOVE stream2sea sun and sting relief. It’s so soothing when you spend too much time in the sun. Personally I think it works better than a fresh aloe plant. Even better is how good it smells.

If you have ever been stung by a jellyfish you know how uncomfortable it is. Instead of having someone urinate on you use this instead! It works instantly. I have also used this after getting sun burn and it works amazing for that as well.

YAY!! This stuff is great! Just recently in Mexico I encountered fire coral on my right knee area and it has been burning up until I put the Sun and Sting gel on it and literally it stopped burning within minutes. I have also found that it works great on mosquito bites too! I will definitely be picking up more for the grandchildren!!

Got stung by a jellyfish in the BVIs, this is the only thing that really soothed it. This product is amazing!
