Reef Safe Mineral Sun Balm

Buck the funk that comes in chemical sunscreens and go the all natural route! Buck Ridge Soap Company began making this amazing Reef Safe Mineral Sun Balm a couple of years ago at a customer's request. They wanted something safe for people, aquatic plants and wildlife that didn't smell like synthetic coconut and would help them feel protected in the harsh sun.

So we created this balm that is chock full of zinc, in fact contains 20% non-nano zinc along with our moisturizing lotion bar formula and the addition of carrot and raspberry oils.

This balm is lightly scented from just the base ingredients themselves no added fragrances. The balm contains no petroleum products either just natural non-GMO and sustainably sourced oils and butters like shea, mango and cocoa butters.

Like all of our products it is entirely non-GMO and safe to use for all ages. In fact, because of the high zinc content, this balm is helpful with heat rash and diaper rash as well and if you forget to put on sunscreen it can help then too because it is very soothing to the skin and highly moisturizing. 

Our sun balm comes in a black 3 ounce reusable metal tin. This all natural sun balm is waterproof up to 80 minutes. 

Why use it? Well, it is super safe for everyone because this natural balm doesn't enter your blood stream like mass produced sunscreens/creams. Ours contains no ingredients like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, that leech into your bloodstream through your skin. These chemicals are endocrine disrupting and in some cases cancer causing, as well as reef destroying. A natural sun balm is a much better option when out in the sun or at the beach plus it is highly moisturizing and residue-free. Our main 'waterproof' ingredient is derived from locally sourced beeswax that seals in the protective elements and seals out water.
