When we think of Ibiza, we dream of lazing on the beach, swimming in crystal clear waters and glazing our skin with a sunkissed glow. However, finding the right balance between protecting our skin from harmful rays whilst also protecting the environment from harmful toxins can be a challenge – to say the least.
If you have ever gone down the rabbit hole of scanning your beauty products in the Yuka app to find out just how many – if any – toxins they include, you will quickly realise that some of the biggest names in the suncare game have terrible ratings.
Many contain hazardous ingredients such as oxybenzone, which can affect your hormonal balance and leak chemical toxins into your bloodstream – potentially causing health issues further down the line. Our skin is our largest organ, after all, so it’s important to consider not only what you put into your body, but also what you put on your body.
Environmentally-conscious sun seekers and ocean lovers who are coming to Ibiza this summer will be able to choose an alternative route, though, as new skincare line Beach-Street launches on the White Island this summer.
Conceived in Bali and crafted in South Korea, it offers a less harmful option to take care of your skin and the delicate marine ecosystem at the same time.
With the belief that beauty and self-care ‘should never come at the expense of the planet or its people’, the brand carefully selects each ingredient to ensure they meet Beach-Street’s strict standards for purity and effectiveness. So whether you’re snorkelling in Ibiza or surfing in Bali, you can do so knowing you have made a choice that is better for your skin and Mother Earth.
Offering everything from Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 30 in a neat metal tin or SPF 50 in a cool black aluminium tube, the creams are easy to apply, reef-safe and water resistant, and offering four-hour-plus protection. The plastic-free packaging is 100% recyclable, airtight and strong – perfect for throwing in your bag or suitcase if you’re on the move.
Further products include the Ultra Nurturing Aftersun Soothing Gel, Ultra Repair Day Cream, and Coffee and Coconut Oil Body and Face Scrub. Beyond the obvious sun protection, hydration and soothing effects, each have additional skincare benefits that especially those with challenging skin types will love.
For example, the Mineral Sunscreen is perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin, while the Ultra Repair Day Cream is a real powerhouse offering detoxification, deep hydration, and a plumping effect. Meanwhile, with a blend of coffee and cold-pressed essential coconut oil, the face and body scrub works wonders on dry skin, stretch marks, and scars.
Putting purpose over profits, all products are either all-natural, free of microplastics or vegan, and cruelty-free.
Beach-Street CEO, Amanda ten Wolde, says of the skincare brand’s mission, “As someone who has always been drawn to the Great Outdoors, my love for nature has inspired me to create something that can make a real difference in people’s lives, while also promoting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle for all.”
This summer, be a glowing God or Goddess with a conscience and head towards a more sustainable future with Beach Street.
Beach-Street products are available in Ibiza at seaside restaurant La Escollera and countryside haven Juntos Farm Restaurant & Boutique. For further information and to shop online, visit www.beach-street.com.
