Our founder knows what it feels like to love the ocean and want to hide from it at the same time. As a marine scientist, she spent her life studying what lives beneath the surface — but on the surface, body breakouts were keeping her covered up. Frustrated by products that didn't work and a beauty industry that barely acknowledged the problem existed, she went back to her science roots and started experimenting with oregano.
Oregano isn't a wellness trend. It's a potent, clinically recognized antimicrobial with natural antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-yeast properties. Applied to the body, it works at the root of what most breakouts actually are — not just clogged pores, but microbial imbalances that conventional body washes and creams completely ignore. The Bum + Body Cream was her first formula. It worked. Friends wanted it. Strangers on the internet needed it. Miami Beach Bum was born.
Built for the beach. Made to protect what you love.
A marine scientist doesn't just think about your skin — she thinks about what happens when your products wash off into the water. Every formula we make is reef-safe, vegan, petroleum-free, and cruelty-free, with PCR packaging, because the ocean isn't just our backdrop. It's the whole point. Our SPF line was built with the same obsession: effective protection that doesn't compromise the ecosystem you're standing in.
This brand is for you if —
You've ever worn a cover-up at the beach when you didn't want to.
You've Googled "fungal acne," "body breakouts," or "why won't this go away" at 2am.
You live outside and you're done choosing between sunscreen that works and sunscreen that feels good.
You care what goes on your body and what goes back into the water.
You're a Miami Beach Bum. Welcome.
