responsible ingredients
buji Block® is formulated to provide SPF 24 sun protection. Our ingredients are UVA/UVB blockers, providing broad-spectrum protection.
We use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, inorganic minerals that block the sun rays. Chemical sunscreens contain ingredients, such as avobenzone or oxybenzone, that actually absorb the suns rays. These chemicals are known to generate free radicals, which some scientists have linked to cancer. To protect you and your family, büji® products are only made with physical compounds that have not been linked to cancer-causing agents.
sun protection
The incidence of skin cancer is increasing faster than any other cancer with more than one million new cases expected this year. Skin cancer can be caused by too much sun, long-term exposure and bad sunburns. More than 90 percent of all skin cancers occur on parts of the body exposed to the sun. In addition, regular sun exposure causes skin damage and premature aging, resulting in dark patches, wrinkles and weakened skin elasticity, among other effects.
