what's inside buub?

We believe you should know exactly what you're putting on your skin. Every ingredient in BUUB has a purpose β€” no fillers, no nonsense.

We group them into three categories:

Category 01

The Active

The mineral that protects you from the sun. Just one ingredient β€” and it does all the heavy lifting.

What it is

A naturally occurring mineral that provides sun protection.

How it's made

Zinc is purified from natural mineral sources and milled into fine particles. Ours is non-nano and uncoated β€” large enough to sit safely on the skin surface.

What it does

Reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays away from the skin, preventing sunburn and long-term sun damage.

Why it's great

Widely considered the safest and most effective sunscreen filter available. Doesn't absorb into the bloodstream, doesn't break down in sunlight, and is gentle enough for babies and sensitive skin.

Category 02

The Heroes

The skin-loving plant ingredients that make BUUB nourishing as well as protective.

What it is

A nourishing oil pressed from sunflower seeds.

How it's made

Organic and cold-pressed β€” mechanically extracted without heat or chemical solvents, keeping all nutrients intact.

What it does

Moisturizes the skin, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps the sunscreen spread evenly.

Why it's great

Rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, and skin-supporting fatty acids. Non-comedogenic and fantastic for all skin types.

Cold-pressed from the fruit and seeds.

What it does

Supports skin regeneration and protects against environmental stress.

Why it's great

What it is

A soothing botanical extract from marigold flowers.

How it's made

The flowers are gently infused to extract their beneficial compounds.

What it does

Calms irritation and supports sensitive skin.

Why it's great

Used traditionally for centuries to soothe delicate skin.

What it is

An extract from a native Australian fruit.

Category 03

The Helpers

These ingredients may sound less glamorous, but they play a crucial role in making the sunscreen stable, smooth, and effective. Think of them as the engineering team behind the scenes.

πŸ’§ Purified Water

The base of the lotion β€” allows oils and minerals to blend into a smooth, lightweight formula that spreads easily.

πŸ•―οΈ Candelilla Wax

A plant wax from the candelilla shrub. Helps the sunscreen stay on the skin. A natural alternative to petroleum waxes.

✨ Glycerin

A plant-derived humectant that draws moisture into the skin and keeps it hydrated during sun exposure.

βš—οΈ Formula Stabilizers & Texture Helpers

  • Potassium Cetyl Phosphate β€” keeps oils and minerals evenly mixed
  • Isostearic Acid β€” helps zinc spread smoothly
  • Polyhydroxystearic Acid β€” prevents mineral clumping
  • Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate β€” plant-derived emulsifier
  • Xanthan Gum β€” natural thickener from fermentation
  • Maltodextrin β€” plant-derived stabilizer
  • Salt (Sodium Chloride) β€” supports formula structure

Without these helpers, mineral sunscreen would separate, clump, or apply unevenly. They ensure every application gives consistent sun protection.

🌱 Natural Freshness Protectors

  • Hinokitiol
  • Grapefruit Seed Extract
  • Coriander Oil

Keep the formula fresh and protected from microbial growth β€” without harsh synthetic preservatives.

🎨 Natural Mineral Pigments
