Biodegradable sunscreen offers optimal protection from UV rays without most chemical ingredients found in regular sunscreens. It is a reel-safe and non-toxic sunscreen made with eco-friendly materials that break down naturally and aren’t hazardous to coral reefs.
While the world was locked up for a year due to COVID-19, the ocean has thrived without tourism. It’s warm and cozy outside and all water sports fanatics are geared up for aquatic fun activities.
UVB/UVA rays penetrate more deeply and can cause long-term cell damage. On top of that, chemical sunscreens are absorbed into your skin, causing more DNA damage under your skin. Stream2Sea is the only brand that provides biodegradable sunscreen, proven safe to fish, coral larvae, and our bodies.
