Bee Wild Outside
Unveils Innovative Refillable Sunscreen System for Sustainable Outdoor Adventures Press Release
October 8, 2023, Santa Fe, New Mexico– Bee Wild Outside, a revolutionary new refillable sunscreen for life on-the-go, is live on global platform Kickstarter and a breakout crowdfunding success story having raised over 145% of their initial raise goal in under 12 days.
Each year, an estimated 110M units of sunscreen packaged in single-use plastic is sold in the US. Those empty bottles are piling up in landfills, littering the planet, and contributing to the plastic pollution crisis in the oceans. Founded with a deep connection to nature and love for outdoor adventure, Bee Wild Outside is on a mission to to make sunscreen easy and convenient to use while removing single-use plastic and toxic chemicals from daily sun care protection.
“I’ve been outdoorsy my whole life. I disliked the feeling of greasy sunscreen and didn’t want to contribute to the waste stream with single-use plastics or sunscreen that was toxic to my body and the ocean,” says founder and CEO Alexandra Merlino on the inspiration behind the project. “So, I opted for protective clothing. Yet I still developed skin cancer. I knew there was a better solution out there so I set out to create something sustainable for the planet and for people.”
Bee Wild Outside's Refillable Sunscreen System is the best way to protect skin, while keeping the planet safe:
