About Us

 We believe skincare battles are best won before they are fought. Because investing in scientific innovation now means we won’t have to pay the price for free radicals later. When it comes to sunscreen, we believe it should be a purely physical relationship—not a chemical one. Because the best defense is a mineral suncare offense. We pride ourselves on our brand experience and realize that our employees are vital to our story. We’re looking for extremely motivated and talented individuals that are fundamental to our business.
