Introducing SunButter [Supplier Spotlight]

We’re proud to partner with SunButter Skincare, a brand that shares our dedication to creating ethical, high-quality, and environmentally conscious products. SunButter’s reef-safe sunscreens provide effective protection while supporting the health of our planet’s oceans and coral reefs.

The Duo & Story Behind SunButter

SunButter was founded by marine biologist Sacha Guggenheimer and conservation ecologist Tom Hiney after witnessing the impact of chemical sunscreens on the Ningaloo Reef. Determined to create a safer alternative, they developed an all-natural, reef-safe formula that protects both people and the planet. In 2019, they launched Australia’s first reef-safe sunscreen in reusable metal tins - a true blend of science, passion and sustainability.

From Ocean-Conscious Ingredients to Powerful Protection

SunButter Skincare's effectiveness lies in its uncompromisingly clean and natural ingredient list. They prove that you don’t need harsh chemicals or plastic to achieve SPF50 protection.

Their sunscreens rely on a single, powerful active ingredient: Non-Nano Zinc Oxide. This is a mineral-based sunblock that sits on the skin's surface, forming a physical barrier to reflect UVA and UVB rays, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin and babies.

This includes:

• NO Toxic Chemical UV Filters: Such as Oxybenzone, Octocrylene, and Homosalate, which are proven to bleach coral reefs.
• NO Palm Oil: SunButter proudly became the world's first certified Palm Oil Free sunscreen company (POFCAP certified), a testament to their dedication to ethical sourcing and preventing deforestation.
• NO Plastics or Nano-Particles: Certified plastic-free, packaged in reusable metal tins, and made with non-nano zinc oxide to prevent plastic or harmful particles from entering waterways.

Instead, they infuse their formula with nourishing, certified sustainable ingredients like Candelilla Wax (a plant-based wax for water resistance), Coconut Oil, and Vitamin E to moisturise and protect your skin while you enjoy the outdoors.
