BU Sunscreen is more than just a sunscreen brand—it’s the continuation of a love story between Jeff and Josie Kletter, and their shared passion to create eco-friendly, biodegradable sun protection that’s good for both people and the planet.
A Passion for Sun Protection That Lasts Decades
It all started over 30 years ago when Jeff hired Josie to be his personal trainer. They fell in love, and soon after, realized they had a shared mission: to protect people from the sun’s harmful rays. Together, they co-founded their first line of vegan, cruelty-free sunscreen products in 1994, debuting at the Commonwealth Games.
BU Sunscreen: Born in Malibu, Loved Everywhere
Years later, inspired by their new home in Malibu, Jeff and Josie launched BU Sunscreen, reflecting their belief in individuality with their motto: "Be You." This unique line of recyclable sunscreens is not only effective but designed to help people embrace outdoor activities without worrying about sunburn or skin damage. Each BU product embodies the free-spirited, sunny vibe of Malibu, with a focus on sustainability and sensitive skin protection.
Eco-Friendly Sunscreen for People and the Planet
At BU, we believe in making sun care that’s kind to the earth. Our sunscreens are made with biodegradable ingredients that break down into silica, water, and CO2, and our bottles and sprayers are 100% recyclable.
