As we close in on our 13th anniversary, we take notice that we basically have never advertised or even mentioned the many great products we have in our shop. Instead, we have focused on local happenings, our surf camps and charitable events we are proud to participate in.
However, it has also been our policy to find great products that are hard to find in most shops, not ridiculously priced, made in either Florida or the USA and of high quality. And, in many cases, the companies providing these products are women-owned.
So, we felt it was time to tell you a little about some of these companies and their products that we sell, starting with Stream2Sea. Based in Wauchula, Florida, Stream2Sea makes possibly the finest sun protection products on the market today.
Founded and owned by cosmetic chemist Autumn Blum (pictured), Stream2Sea takes not only sun protection seriously, but also the effects sunscreens have on the ocean environment. While so many sunscreens stamp their products with “Reef Safe” or exaggerated numbers like “SPF 70” Stream2Sea actually has qualified certifications for every claim they put on their products.
More importantly, they have gone one step further this year with their newest development, a 30 SPF sunscreen called Coral Care that is not only Reef Safe, but actually NOURISHES CORAL REEFS!!! In a world where coral reefs are being “bleached” by increasing ocean temperatures, pollution, overfishing, and ocean acidification, it is amazing to see a Florida company try to reverse that trend and help bring coral reefs back to health. We just introduced Coral Care at a reduced price to measure local acceptance and are already ready to order more as many of our customers are happy to support a Florida company than tells it like it as AND wants to make it better!
