BRAND ORIGINS
In 2016 marine biologist and conservation ecologist team Sacha Guggenheimer and Tom Hiney were just learning about the negative impacts of chemical sunscreen pollution on our oceans, and in particular coral reefs.
At the time, Sacha and Tom were working on the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Feeling the squeeze between the need to wear sunscreen whilst swimming with Whale sharks and their passion to protect the World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef, the pair began to develop a natural high quality sun protection. A formula that possessed the highest sun protection factor possible for their outdoor lifestyle - SPF50, but was not going to compromise their skin with harsh chemicals or have adverse effects on marine life and corals.
This is how SunButterâ„¢ was born. The original SunButter sunblock was handmade for the whale shark guides, photographers, spearo's, divers and fisherman of the Ningaloo Reef. Since 2019 SunButter has expanded from handmade sunblock to launching Australia's first reef safe sunscreen packaged in reusable and recyclable tins, Australia's first vegan surf zinc and the World's first Palm Oil Free Certified sunscreen company. All our products are listed with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration and comply with Australia's world leading sunscreen standards.
Our teams passion to grow a socially and environmentally ethical skincare company is driven by our mantra, "Protecting People & The Planet". A promise to our planet and our customers for us and our future.

THE SUNBUTTER MAGIC
Our suncare range is formulated to be gentle on the planet and on sensitive skin. We use non-nano particle zinc oxide as our broad spectrum UV blocker for its natural healing qualities on sensitive, inflamed or damaged skin. Using SunButter you can safely say goodbye to chemical sunscreen breakouts and stinging eyes forever. Zinc oxide has also been listed as the most gentle UV blocker for waterways and oceans, a wind for your skin and the sea.
