Heritage & History
Sun Bum was founded in 2010 in Cocoa Beach, Florida — steps from the Atlantic Ocean and the surfing culture that defines Florida's Space Coast. The brand launched with a simple promise: make sun protection that people actually want to use, with a feel, fragrance, and formula that didn't make the beach experience worse in the name of UV defense.
The brand's monkey mascot and beach-casual branding resonated immediately with surfers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts who found that Sun Bum's coconut-scented formulas delivered effective protection without the heavy, chalky feel that characterized older sunscreen categories. Sun Bum grew rapidly in the surf and outdoor retail channels before expanding to mass market.
Made in Cocoa Beach, Florida
Sun Bum formulates and produces its sun care lineup in Cocoa Beach, Florida, keeping product development close to the beach culture that inspired it. The Florida facility develops and tests formulations in the conditions where they'll be used — high UV, salt water, and the kind of full-day outdoor exposure that demands real-world performance validation.
The brand's reef-friendly commitment — formulating without oxybenzone and octinoxate, chemicals implicated in coral reef damage — reflects both environmental responsibility and the genuine stakes for a Florida beach brand whose home waters depend on healthy reef ecosystems. Sun Bum's SPF moisturizers, lip balms, and after-sun care round out a sun protection lifestyle line made by people who live the beach life they're selling.
