Sun Juju (1)

“No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced” — David Attenborough

Sun Juju exists so we can spend longer stretches of time in the naturally beautiful places that nourish us now and in the future.

It protects our skin from the elements and protects our oceans from plastic and harmful chemicals, so we can enjoy these natural places for decades to come.

Founded by sun lover and sustainability writer, Ella Liascos in Byron Bay, Sun Juju is the sunscreen she couldn't find anywhere. A sheer mineral and plant based sunscreen she could wear on her face every day that wasn't packaged in plastic.

Sun Juju is packaged in infinitely recyclable aluminium. 75-90% of all aluminium ever created is still in use today, while recycled plastic only has a 9% chance of being recycled again. Leaving a 91% chance of ending up in landfill or the ocean and breaking down into micro plastics that ends up in our water, salt and seafood.

11.1 billion tonnes of plastic items are entangled in corals, with 89% of those showing signs of disease. Safe for sensitive and acne prone skin, Sun Juju is free from hormone inhibiting chemical filters like oxybenzone, octinoxate which were banned in Hawaii in 2018 to protect the reefs.

Sun Juju donate 5% to the Climate Foundations marine permaculture project. Read more about our mission here.
