Beauty drawn from many roots is the inspiration behind BU:KEI, with all products made using natural oils, wildflowers and herbal extracts from unique Longevity Zones across the globe.

Longevity Formula:
ORGANIC OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT
The Mediterranean island of Ikaria is a hotspot of longevity. The inhabitants of the island enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle on the Ikarian coast, eat a diet rich in vegetables and take many naps.
As an ode to the olive trees that grow on the island, our BU:KEI Longevity Formula contains olive leaf extract, which is rich in good fats and vitamin E. Its active ingredient oleuropein is used in traditional medicine for its antioxidant and soothing effects.
Longevity Formula:
COMPLEX JAPANESE MOLASSES & SAKE
The Okinawan secret to longevity is to have a lifelong circle of friends (moai) and to find a goal (ikigai) to steer one’s life. The lifestyle on this Japanese island is peaceful, enriched by gardening, gentle exercise and the consumption of abundant soy.
Okinawa’s climate is perfect for flourishing of the Japanese molasses, which we have included in our Longevity Formula for its rich calcium, magnesium and B vitamin content.
In addition, we have enriched our Longevity Formula with Japanese sake, which moisturizes the skin and slows down the signs of ageing.
Longevity Formula:
PAPAYA EXTRACT
The inhabitants of the Nicoya Peninsula live the Costa Rican philosophy of the Plan de Vida, or 'Life Plan'. Joy and a positive, carefree attitude towards life, simplicity, a healthy diet and lots of time with family are the cornerstones of this particular lifestyle.
The papaya extract in our Longevity Formula is an ode to Nicoya, where papaya trees grow in gardens and along rural roads. This fleshy fruit is rich in vitamins A, B and C, that smooth, stimulate and help to moisturize the skin.
Longevity Formula:
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
The inhabitants of Loma Linda eat a vegetarian diet of nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, do not drink or smoke, and spend their time exercising together in the morning sun. This longevity hotspot has a perfect climate for the cultivation of grapes, which is why we have included grape seed extract in our BU:KEI Longevity Formula.
The grape seed oil each BU:KEI formula is enriched with, provides important antioxidants that reduce inflammation, promote healing and infuse each product with a delicate natural fragrance.
Longevity Formula:
HELICHRYSUM EXTRACT
Sardinia was the first Longevity Zone to be identified by researchers, who observed the inhabitants harvesting fresh produce, fishing in the local waters and dedicating time and love their social relationships.
Inspired by the slow-paced lifestyle and plant-based diets of the centenarians of Sardinia, we have added Helichrysum extract to our Longevity Formula. The extract is harvested from sunny yellow flowers which have antiseptic and regenerative properties.
Every BU:KEI product is made with people and planet in mind. Our holistic approach to sustainability ensures that everything we lovingly create is organic, cruelty-free and eco-friendly.
Our formulas draw from the wisdom of the longest-living cultures around the world; Icaria, Okinawa, Nicoya, Loma Linda and Sardinia. Inspired by these Longevity Zone lifestyles, BU:KEI brings together the essence of natural ingredients, the rituals of healthy living and the philosophy of the happiest communities.
We understand that beauty isn’t just appearance; it’s a way of life. That’s why each of our products is an experience to be embraced, from the soothing lather of our Earth Wash, to the cooling spritz of our Clean Toner.
PREMIUM ORGANIC
Each BU:KEI product is a blend of premium organic oils, wildflowers and herbal extracts, which protect against environmental stressors for your skin, encourage a youthful appearance and inspire overall wellbeing.
