HOW IT WORKS
The Science + Tech Behind BURŪV
BURŪV measures your personal sun exposure.
But BURŪV doesn’t just measure UV. It measures what the sun is doing to your skin in real time, calibrated to your skin type ( 1-6), your SPF usage, your life.
It sends you reminders to reapply sunscreen based on your skin goals. By measuring your daily sun habits, it helps you make smarter decisions to preserve your skin health and beauty.
Powered by Skintelligence™ the personalization platform that makes every reading, every alert, and every insight genuinely yours.
BURŪV uses proprietary UV sensors on the wrist to show your cumulative sun exposure throughout the day, plus advanced algorithms and machine learning to delivery precise data and personalized recommendations.
BURŪV uses highly calibrated UV sensors to deliver accurate and reliable UV index readings directly from your wrist.
Yes, BURŪV measures UV exposure regardless of weather conditions. Even on cloudy days or indoors near windows, UV rays can still reach your skin, and BURŪV accounts for that.
Alerts
