Our Mission
Protect your skin. Protect our reef.
Raw Love was born in the ocean. Everything we make is meant to give back to it.
What we promise
♥
Non-nano zinc, only
Non-nano zinc oxide is the one and only active in every Raw Love product.
♥
Ingredients you know
Organic oils, beeswax and butters. Nothing you need a chemistry degree to read.
♥
Gentle on everyone
Kind to sensitive skin and eyes, from keiki to kupuna.
A voice for the ocean
Turtles, dolphins and coral can’t speak up for themselves. So we speak up for them, every single day.
The reef is where we swim, work and play. Keeping it healthy starts with what we put on our skin before we jump in.

5 simple things you can do
Small business, big aloha
We don’t write one big check to one big corporation.
Since 2015 we’ve donated sunscreen to hundreds of groups, from youth sports tournaments and hiking and climbing clubs to medical teams, Girl Scout troops and ocean science labs. Small business supporting small business, that’s how we do it.

The big dream
Grow big enough to start our own nonprofit, and take on more ocean conservation projects, so the reef we swim in today is still here for our keiki.
