In a world where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, BEACH-STREET Skincare® leading the charge with its innovative zero-plastic sunscreen stick. This eco-friendly alternative not only ensures optimal sun protection but also represents a pivotal shift in how beauty and skincare brands can operate with minimal environmental impact. Let’s explore the evolution of BEACH-STREET Skincare® aluminium sunscreen stick, diving into the creative process, environmental benefits, and the growing demand for plastic-free solutions in the skincare industry.

The journey of BEACH-STREET Skincare® zero-plastic sunscreen began with a simple but ambitious goal: to create a product that offers powerful sun protection without contributing to the growing plastic waste crisis. Traditional sunscreen packaging is often made of single-use plastic, which usually ends up in landfills or oceans, contributing to global pollution.
BEACH-STREET Skincare® founders were determined to disrupt this cycle. They envisioned a sunscreen that not only shielded people from harmful UV rays but also aligned with their commitment to protecting the planet. After several rounds of brainstorming and research, the brand identified aluminium as the ideal alternative for packaging.
Why Aluminum? A Sustainable Game Changer
Aluminum was chosen for its remarkable properties. Unlike plastic, aluminium is infinitely recyclable, meaning it can be reused repeatedly without losing quality or functionality. The sunscreen stick packaging is designed with minimal materials, reducing its carbon footprint from production to disposal. Aluminum also acts as a natural barrier, keeping the sunscreen fresh and effective over time.
By choosing aluminium, BEACH-STREET Skincare® set a precedent for other beauty and skincare brands. The metal’s lightweight nature means lower shipping emissions and its durability ensures the sunscreen stick can be reused or recycled effortlessly. BEACH-STREET Skincare® even encourages customers to return their empty sticks for recycling through an incentivized program, closing the loop on its sustainability mission.

The Development Aluminium Process: Challenges and Breakthroughs
Creating a zero-plastic sunscreen tube and tin size wasn’t without its challenges. The BEACH-STREET Skincare® team faced a multitude of obstacles, from finding the right manufacturing partners to ensuring the sunscreen formula itself would be compatible with an aluminium container. Many traditional sunscreen formulas contain chemicals that could potentially react with aluminium, so a custom formulation was developed. This new formula is both reef-safe and non-toxic, meeting the highest standards for safe sun protection while being kind to the environment.
Packaging design also played a crucial role in the development. The brand worked tirelessly to ensure the aluminium tube was sleek and functional. Additionally, there is the tube squeezer which is very useful to get every bit of the product. This combo is not just unique but practical and can be used for other similar packaging for example your toothpaste.

Environmental Benefits of the Aluminum Sunscreen
The environmental benefits of BEACH-STREET Skincare® zero-plastic sunscreen are manifold. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
- Reduction of Plastic Waste: Sunscreen packaging is one of the many sources of plastic pollution in our oceans and landfills. By using aluminium, BEACH-STREET Skincare® reduces the reliance on single-use plastics, setting an example for an industry heavily reliant on disposable packaging.
- Recycling and Reuse: Aluminum’s recyclability is one of its standout benefits. Once the sunscreen stick is empty, it can be easily recycled, contributing to the circular economy. Customers can also reuse the packaging for different purposes, extending its lifespan beyond its original use.
- Lower Carbon Footprint: Aluminum is lightweight, which translates to lower emissions during transportation. Additionally, aluminium production, though energy-intensive initially, uses significantly less energy when recycled, making it more sustainable in the long run compared to plastic.
- Non-Toxic and Reef-Safe Formula: BEACH-STREET Skincare® sunscreen is formulated to be free from harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, known to damage coral reefs. This reef-safe formulation protects marine ecosystems while safeguarding users from sun damage.
