Review: Best Tinted (facial) Sunscreen yet (w/ TLDR) - I've likely gone through 30+ different facial sunscreens in the past year and half, including but not limited to: 5 of EltaMDs, Neutrogena, 3 of La Roche Posay, Cerave, Cetaphil, 3 of Blue Lizard, 3 of SuperGoop, Waxhead, Suntegrity, etc.) trying to find the most optimal one for my needs. Although I found an everyday chemical Korean one which is not staining but not waterproof, I still wanted one that I could use for physical/sweating activities as well, and something that could color blend my face nicely together as a man. And this Stream2Sea Tinted right here is the one. Pros: - EWG Verified, one of only a few tinted zinc sunscreens that is - Never pills (Out of 11 tinted zinc sunscreens, this is the only one with no piling for me. Take this with a grain of salt though, I've seen reviews say that before but I didn't have the same experience as them) - High Zinc Oxide % = Better UV-A Protection (my main concern is UVA Spectrum coverage) - Included anti-oxidants, having free radical protection is an often overlooked factor of sun protection that needs more attention as it damages skin - Price (at time of purchase): $~11/oz, very comfortable pricing (compared to EltaMD of $~21/oz) - Excellent tint tone, can blend with different skin colors - I don't believe this feels greasy - No skin irritation on me - Sunscreen does not "crack" when stretching skin like EltaMD does (stretching as in opening mouth to eat, yawning, etc.) Neutral/No Factor: - Moisturizing factor not noticed, as I apply a moisturizer 3-5 min beforehand - Higher UV protection in water was not applicable in my situation, have not gone swimming with this - This product comes out thick, but does not necessarily go on as thick - No added fragrance but!: smells like what you think zinc would smell like, I personally enjoy it. Either way, not noticeable after application - Needs more effort and slight increased time to spread and blend to skin, not substantial though Cons: - Can stain clothing (all tinted mineral sunscreens will stain unfortunately, so don't wear this with white clothing please!) - Hard to remove, but this is common with waterproof sunscreens. Face wash does not do the trick, needs either more physical rubbing or a makeup remover like Garnier (works perfectly) - Too shiny, not enough to be concerning but definitely noticeable I am a Pilot, and while I can't wear this sunscreen with any uniform as it will stain it, it works phenomenally with my general aviation flying. On hot summer days in Arizona where the sun is blasting and the airplane cabin is toasty, this sunscreen does not fail me despite all the sweating on my face and neck. Further more, I have never noticed any sun burns with this. The color of the tint is fantastic for my skin, and I think for others as well. It does not make you look like an oompa loompa (*ahem Waxhead ahem*), nor is the tone too cold. A universal blend. Although the perfect sunscreen can never exist, as everyone has their own needs and desires, I believe I have found the closest thing to a "golden sunscreen", and because of that - I will continue to use this indefinitely (or until a better one is found). Pictures - 1: Bottle 2: Hand before application 3: Hand after 5 seconds of rubbing in (please ignore my lack-of-tan where my would-be watch is, my actual hand in the picture is my typical showing skin color) ------------- TLDR: After 11 tinted sunscreens, this is my favorite one. Strongly recommended to purchase to give it a try. Very fair pricing, great sweat protection, healthy ingredients, strong UVA protection, low risk of skin allergic reaction. Will recommend to family and friends! ---- Edit: March 2024 - Hi everyone, after some research I found another sunscreen which will replace this one for my daily use. It's a European one called UVMune 400 by La Roche-Posay. It has the best chemical protection of the last 380-400nm wavelength (longest UVA, most contributive to wrinkles). But!!! That one is only a special order through an international website. So, while my new replacement can't be ordered from any US websites or desertcart, I will still continue to recommend this tinted sunscreen as your go to for a USA-made sunscreen. As the European one is quite pricey to import, I don't want to use it as much as I want. Therefore, I will still use this tinted one on my face for any sports/beach activities. Plus Zinc Oxide isn't harmful or absorbed either!
Review: Scores 98% on Yuka app for ingredients - I have bought this three times I wish it came in more shades so everyone could experience it. It makes my skin look so dewy and even. Amazing sun protection and I have confidence knowing that these are clean ingredients given it scored 98% excellence on the Yuka app. Between living in Florida and living in Ohio I’ve worn it on a daily basis for two years straight. I’ve gotten so many compliments. I apply it with my hands blend out the rest with a beauty sponge if needed, and put concealer on and then I layer the rest of my products on top like blush, highlighter, etc. it looks amazing. This product single-handedly has gotten me off foundation.

## Features

- HIGH-PERFORMANCE MINERAL SUNSCREEN - The organic ingredients in our body and face sunscreen act as a physical shield that provides protection on the surface of your skin against both UVA and UVB rays of the sun. This means that the sunscreen literally sits on the surface of your skin - which renders more safety to your body unlike most chemical sunscreens where harsh ingredients are absorbed in our pores
- WATER RESISTANT - Most sunscreens lose 30-60% of their sun protection after 80 minutes in the water, but not our skin care sunscreen. Our Every Day Mineral Sunscreens go on light and sheer and these formulas are so water resistant that they actually perform 45% better after you go for a swim. Plus, it's sheer and lightweight, so you can use it every day!
- PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY USE - Even though our Every Day Mineral Sunscreen is sheer and lightweight, applying a mineral sunscreen is different from what you might be used to. Apply in sections and rub in to blend. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming, sweating, or immediately after towel drying. Use everyday or as needed for all your outdoor adventures!
- MOISTURIZING FORMULA - This non-greasy and non-comedogenic formula is enriched with our proprietary antioxidant blend and turmeric to protect, nourish, and restore even the most sensitive skin daily. Our natural, eco-conscious formula does not contain parabens, sulfates, gluten, oxybenzone or octinoxate. Healthy for the eyes, skin and the oceans!
- OUR FORMULA IS REEF SAFE - Many chemical-based sunscreen are toxic to coral reefs and fish. Our product is a mineral-based, natural, eco-friendly sunscreen . This has been tested and proven for humans, freshwater and saltwater marine life. Even our tubes are eco-conscious - all Stream 2 Sea containers are made from Sugarcane Resin. Happy seas and happy skin indeed!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone provide full list of ingredients? TIA!**
A: The ingredients of the tinted one anyway, are right on Sream2Sea website - pretty much in product description drop downs.

**Q: What makes it "kids"? Is there any difference between the kid version and the regular, other than the label?**
A: Our "kids" sunscreen is specially formulated for children's delicate skin. Pediatrician-approved, it includes skin-soothing Chamomile & Calendula, along with tailored antioxidants. This ensures effective sun protection while catering to kids' unique needs.

**Q: Is this cruelty free?**
A: We have a confession to make – we test all our products on friends and corporate officers. We also tested our products to ensure they would not be harmful to fish and other aquatic life when used as directed. We are adamantly opposed to animal testing when there are other alternatives. In nearly every case – except aquatic toxicity – there are options besides testing on living creatures. At this time, there are no cellular cultures or models that effectively assess aquatic toxicity. Therefore, our testing included the use of purposely bred live fish and EcoConsciously and scientifically obtained coral larvae which allows us to state with confidence that our formulas are safe for freshwater fish, saltwater fish and coral larvae so that we can say with confidence that our products are safe for freshwater fish, saltwater fish and coral larvae!

**Q: Has anybody actually BOUGHT this item? Every single review is a "Vine customer free item review"**
A: I purchased.  I was given a sample at an event and ordered this sunscreen as soon as the sample was gone. I live at high altitude with intense sun. This sunscreen works extremely well and the added sparkle is so much fun. This is now my go to sunscreen when I have outdoor activities.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sunscreen ever for face
*by L***. on December 22, 2024*

I am not a review person but this product is exceptional. I did lots of research on environmental working group prior to purchasing. It comes up highly rated and safe for the skin and environment. I have been using zinc oxide straight with a tinted sunscreen over it but not getting terrific results because it’s heavy, greasy and leaves a white cast Plus I don’t know how much of the zinc oxide is being absorbed into my skin and guessing it’s not non-nano. I just finished my first application over my skin care products and it went on beautifully. It feels completely weightless, leaves a nice matte finish along with a bit of a healthy glow. I have fair skin and the neutral shade blends in very well, I can’t see any white like I normally would.It also leaves the skin looking nice and moisturized, seems like my wrinkles and fine lines aren’t as obvious, I am 74. I am sold on this product and will never go back to any of the sunscreens I have been using on my face. I will also use this on my body but get the appropriate formula for that. This is fantastic, I can’t say it enough. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Try it and you’ll love it.
