Developed in collaboration with the Center for Research in Natural Products (Ciprona) at the University of Costa Rica, Sunspectra’s mineral sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection without compromising marine life. Every formula is 100% reef-friendly, which are free from harmful chemicals that bleach coral reefs and poison aquatic ecosystems.

From compostable cardboard packaging to refillable containers, the entire lifecycle of every Sunspectra product is designed with sustainability in mind. The company also reinvests a portion of profits into reef conservation, partnering with Marine Conservation to fund coral restoration projects.

In just a few short years, Sunspectra has grown from a local idea to a national force, with 70 points of sale across Costa Rica and an annual turnover of $100,000. Today, its core audience, spanning eco-conscious young women, seek more than clean ingredients; they want clean oceans, thriving farms, and a future where beauty leaves nothing behind but good.
