At Stream2Sea, we lead with testing, transparency, and trust, rather than waiting for regulations to force action. Consumers can be confident that our products are safe for them and our oceans.”

WAUCHULA, FL, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stream2Sea, the only reef-safer sunscreen company with sunscreen tested and proven safe for fish and coral larvae, has announced that its flagship sunscreens and Zinc Balm have been independently confirmed PFAS-free following rigorous laboratory testing.

The testing, conducted by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in product safety certification, screened Stream2Sea’s Every Day Active Mineral Sunscreen, Coral Care Mineral Sunscreen, and Zinc Balm using advanced Total Fluorine analysis. This method provides a reliable, cost-effective way to detect potential PFAS contamination.

Results:
• Every Day Active Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45: Pass
• Coral Care Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30: Pass
• Sport Sunscreen Zinc Balm SPF 40: Pass
All products tested well below the 100 mg/kg safety threshold, confirming Stream2Sea’s formulas are free from “forever chemicals.”

A History of Science-Backed Safety
Stream2Sea has consistently taken a proactive stance on chemical safety in personal care products:
• Benzene Contamination: When reports of benzene contamination surfaced in sunscreens, Stream2Sea immediately tested its formulas to confirm they were benzene-free.
• Petrochemical Cross-Contamination: As other companies struggled with petrochemical contamination in “mineral” sunscreens, Stream2Sea built its own FDA-compliant facility to ensure complete control and purity.
• PFAS Concerns: With growing regulatory bans on PFAS across the U.S., Stream2Sea once again acted quickly to ensure its formulas remain safe for both consumers and the environment.

Why It Matters
PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” are linked to significant health and environmental risks. Multiple states, including California, New York, and Colorado, are enacting bans on PFAS in cosmetics and sunscreens between 2025 and 2028. By securing independent proof of PFAS-free formulas, Stream2Sea demonstrates leadership in compliance, transparency, and consumer safety.

“At Stream2Sea, we lead with testing, transparency, and trust, rather than waiting for regulations to force action,” said Autumn Blum, Founder & CEO of Stream2Sea. “Consumers can feel confident knowing our products are safe for them and safe for our oceans.”
