immersion in water. This feature is particularly advantageous for swimmers, divers, surfers, and beachgoers who require reliable sun protection in aquatic environments. Furthermore, unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb into the skin and enter the bloodstream, Coral Care ™ is formu- lated with non-nano titanium dioxide. This mineral-based UV filter sits atop the skin and reflects harmful rays. Non- nano particles ensure that the sunscreen does not penetrate the skin barrier, making it a safer option for individuals with sensitive skin, children, and those prone to allergies. Chem- ical sunscreens are also linked to hormonal disruption, as well as skin and eye irritation, whereas mineral sunscreens like Coral Care ™ provide a hypoallergenic alternative that doesn’t burn the eyes. The formula offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, shielding the skin from aging (UVA) and burning (UVB) rays. Coral Care ™ also avoids parabens, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives, ensuring a clean, reef-safe, and skin-friendly sunscreen experience. Industry Innovation: The term "reef-safe" is often used as a marketing gimmick rather than a scientifically supported standard. With minimal industry regulation, many brands misleadingly label their sunscreens as reef-safe, even when they contain harmful chemicals. To address this issue, Stream2Sea is the first brand to hold the Reef Protection Factor (RPF) logo, a scientifically validated certification sys- tem. The RPF rating assesses a product’s impact on marine ecosystems through extensive lab and field testing. It ensures that products avoid toxic chemicals and actively contribute ECO PRO continued

to reef protection and restoration. The introduction of this certification aims to establish a new industry benchmark and help consumers identify truly eco-conscious sunscreens. Stream2Sea is pushing the skincare industry toward greater transparency and accountability by pioneering the first sci- entifically proven sunscreen that benefits coral reefs. A key aspect of Stream2Sea’s mission is alignment with global environmental movements advocating for bans on reef-toxic sunscreens. Many destinations, including Hawaii, Palau, Bonaire, and parts of Mexico, have banned sunscreens that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate to protect their coral reefs. As more consumers and governments become aware of the harmful impact of conventional sunscreens, Stream2Sea is at the forefront of providing sustainable al- ternatives. By combining scientific innovation with environ- mental activism, Stream2Sea is not just creating a product; it is helping to reshape the conversation about sun care and ocean conservation. Stream2Sea's Coral Care ™ represents a groundbreaking advancement in skincare and environmental conservation. By creating a sunscreen that protects human skin and positively impacts coral reefs' health, Stream2Sea exemplifies how innovation and environmental stewardship can coexist harmoniously. As consumers become increas- ingly aware of the ecological impact of their choices, prod-

ucts like Coral Care ™ offer a practical way to protect themselves and the planet. Additional information about Coral Care ™ is available for download at this QR code/link.
