Best New Dive Gear October 2025

Beach-Street Skincare Ocean-Safe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

Beach-Street Skincare Ocean-Safe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

MSRP $35 (150 ml), $20 (60 ml)

CONTACT beach-street.com

This high-performance SPF 50 mineral sunscreen is reef-friendly and boasts an impressive PA++++ rating. It is made with 20 percent non-nano zinc oxide and 14 percent non-nano titanium oxide. Algal and floral ingredients provide a gentle fragrance and effective hydration that won’t irritate sensitive skin. The product applies easily and quickly. We liked that it has a lightweight finish and doesn’t leave a white cast. Both sizes come in plastic-free packaging that utilizes biodegradable and 100 percent recyclable materials. An SPF 30 sunscreen is also available.
