The first Everyday Carry SPF™

The sunscreen you'll actually carry.

Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, water resistant for 80 minutes, in a pocket-sized paper cube. No bulky bottle, no greasy hands, no excuses. Just sun protection that's always with you.

  • SPF 50+
  • Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB
  • Water Resistant (80 min)
  • Plastic-free tube
  • No oxybenzone or octinoxate

Dermatologists agree: the best sunscreen is the one you actually use. So we built one you can't leave behind.

Why it matters

We didn't reinvent sunscreen. We reinvented carrying it.

Sunscreen doesn't fail because it doesn't work. It fails because it stays at home. Bottles are bulky, sticks are chunky, and reapplying means greasy hands. So most days, most people go unprotected.

Left at home

Full-size bottles live in bathroom cabinets, not in pockets.

Greasy hands

Lotions mean rubbing sunscreen in with your palms, then wiping them somewhere.

Never reapplied

Protection fades within hours, but the tube is wherever you left it.

Beach-day thinking

UV exposure is daily: the commute, the school run, the golf round, the walk.

Daily protection shouldn't require planning. It should be in your pocket.

Meet SunCubes

Pocket-sized. Everyday-ready.

A 1.1 inch cube that rides where bottles never go: the fifth pocket of your jeans, a running belt, a golf bag, a kid's backpack pouch, the airport tray.

Standard sunscreen tubestays at home
SunCubegoes everywhere

A fraction of the size. Designed for daily carry, not the beach bag.

How it works

Carry. Apply. Repeat.

No pumps, no puddles in your palm, no sticky fingers. Three moves, ten seconds.

01

Uncap

The paper cap lifts straight off. No threads, no cracking plastic.

02

Push up

Press the base and the stick rises. Your hands never touch the formula.

03

Glide

Sweep over face, ears and neck. Cap it and go. Reapply every 2 hours, or after 80 minutes in the water.

Everyday carry

Built for the places sunscreen never reaches.

Why we built SunCubes

"We realized sunscreen wasn't failing because it didn't work. It was failing because nobody wanted to carry it. We believed sun protection should be as easy to carry as your keys. So we didn't design another bottle. We designed a cube."

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

When can I buy SunCubes?

We're preparing our first production run. Register a pre-order below and you'll be first to get the checkout link when sales open. Registering is free and doesn't charge you anything.

Which pack should I choose?

The Single is a great way to try SunCubes. The Family Pack holds 27 cubes, so everyone in the household can keep one in a bag, car, desk and backpack.

Is it water resistant?

Yes. SunCubes is Water Resistant (80 minutes), tested under the FDA's OTC sunscreen monograph protocol at an independent lab. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.

Can I fly with it?

It's a solid stick, not a liquid or gel. Airport screening rules can vary, so check with your airline or local security authority before you travel.

Does it melt?

The stick is structured with plant waxes to hold up in a warm pocket. Like any sunscreen stick, don't leave it on a hot dashboard: protect it from excessive heat and direct sun.

Will it leave a white cast?

No. SunCubes uses clear-wearing UV filters rather than mineral pigments, so it goes on invisible.

Can children use it?

Yes, as part of daily sun protection. For children under 6 months of age, ask a doctor, as with any sunscreen.

Is the tube recyclable?

The tube is paperboard with no plastic parts. Check your local guidance on coated paperboard recycling.

Is it reef friendly?

SunCubes is made without oxybenzone and octinoxate, the two filters restricted under Hawaii Act 104. "Reef friendly" isn't a regulated term, so we tell you exactly what's inside instead.

Sun protection measures. Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a Broad Spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including limiting time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses.

Caring for the paper tube

Treat it like paper: keep it dry, store it in a cool place, and protect it from excessive heat and direct sun.
