Sama-Bajau women apply burak, a natural paste made from pounded rice, turmeric, and other ingredients, on their faces. Used to beautify their faces and as a natural sunblock, burak is applied to the face as a wet paste that eventually dries, creating a white or yellowish coating. Generally, only Sama women apply this to their skin. Tawi-Tawi, 2015.
