The Urgent Need for Innovation in Suncare

1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. In an attempt to prevent this statistical pattern, men and women of every age and across skin types seek sun protection as part of their daily skincare regimen. However, 70% of the available products on the market contain harmful toxins that may lead to other health concerns throughout their lives. What's more, the ones that are formulated safely lack the high-tech potency for long-lasting skincare benefits.

In 2019, we set out on a misison to increase the use of sun protection products by merging the worlds on suncare and skincare with the creation of never-before-seen formulations featuring a new class of biomolecules - inspired by the sea. Designing solutions that are safe for people and sustainable for the environment is our guiding light. Xanthochrome® is our ubiquitous force.
