Perfect for Sensitive Skin

Bu sunscreen’s moisturizing, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic formula is ideal for sensitive skin. Taking protection to a whole new level, this clear non greasy natural sunscreen spray is enriched with antioxidant-rich Vitamin E to eliminate free radicals and prevent premature aging.

Sustainable Manufaturing

All our products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Plus, we only use sustainable carbon neutral and solar powered manufacturing practices. Our sunscreen spray is organic and free of oil, alcohol, gluten, PABA, preservatives, oxybenzone and parabens.

Three Soft Scents

The SPF 50 comes in 2 soft, natural scents: white sage and fragrance-free. You won’t find any coconutty tropical aromas that are reminiscent of a 1970’s tanning lotion!

Our white sage formula harnesses the relaxing and mood-improving properties of natural white sage with a fresh, herbaceous and earthy aroma. It is also infused with organic and natural sage oil.

How do I know which SPF is best for my skin? Is a higher SPF always better?

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30+ sunscreen filters out 96.7% of UVB radiation while SPF 50+ sunscreen filters out 98%. Despite the 30-50 labelling hinting at a significant increase in protection, SPF 50+ filters only an extra 1.3% of UVB rays, which Cancer Council says can give people a false sense of security and lead them to apply less sunscreen or not apply it as often.

Guidelines call for both SPF30+ and SPF 50+ sunscreen to be applied every two hours (regardless of what the packaging says) or after swimming, sweating or towel drying. While some sunscreens may provide resistance to water and sweat they are not waterproof and can also be rubbed off.

What’s the difference between UVA and UVB?

Think of UVB (B- for burn) rays, are the primary promoter of light induced skin cancer. UVA (A- aging) rays are the primary cause of photo aging (skin wrinkles, broken blood vessels and freckles), cataracts in the eye and photosensitivity. Don’t be fooled, 80% of the sun’s rays reach the earth on a cloudy day.

To make sure you protect against both, find a protect that offers Broad Spectrum protection.

Should I use aerosol sprays or pump sprays?

Aerosol sprays are an environmental nightmare. These pressurized containers can not be taken apart and put into recycling bins, so they go straight into landfills. If you’re looking for a spray sunscreen, we recommend strictly using pump sprayers because they are recyclable and better for the environment.

What should I look for in a sunscreen if I have sensitive skin?

The first thing you want to look for is that your sunscreen is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (won’t block pores). However, with any sunscreen, you should always perform a “patch test” to check the skin’s response. Spray a small amount of sunscreen on the inside of a wrist. Monitor the area for 20 minutes. If no redness or irritation occurs, the product can generally be used without concern.
