It Started With Bum Acne ↓ Scroll

I lived in cheeky bikinis. The bum breakouts were on full display. I wasn't trying to hide my skin — I was trying to heal it.

I'd tried everything. Nothing worked. As a marine scientist, I knew there had to be a real answer — I just had to find it. So I went back to my research roots and started studying what actually causes body skin imbalances. The answer was Oregano. And Miami Beach Bum was born.

The scientist who refused to stay covered up.

Ayssa has spent her career studying marine ecosystems and coastal infrastructure — what lives in the ocean, what harms it, and how human and marine systems should co-exist. With a bachelor's and master's from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science, field research from the Galápagos to Miami's own coastline, and a seat on the Miami Beach Planning Board as a water management expert, the ocean is her life's work. But it was her own skin that sent her down a different research path.

Dealing with body breakouts that wouldn't respond to conventional skincare, she turned to what she knew: the antimicrobial properties of Oregano. Used for centuries for its natural antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-yeast properties, Oregano addresses the root cause of most body breakouts — microbial imbalance — rather than just treating the surface.

The first formula she made worked. Friends wanted it. Then strangers on the internet. Miami Beach Bum launched with one product: the Bum + Body Cream. Everything grew from there.
