“As someone who has had chunks of their face cut out from skin cancer, I can tell you that I never leave home without my Surface Sunscreen stick! They are super convenient and fit right in your pocket. These guys have a full line of sunscreens products, everything from Zinc & Mineral Based sunscreens, to dry touch to lip balms, and even Aloe Vera Cooling Gel for when you get a little cooked. We love spending time in the desert in the sun, but Skin Cancer sucks!” commented California 300 CEO Matt Martelli.
In 2009 during the Supercross finals at Sam Boyd Stadium the founders of Surface Sunscreen were enjoying the energy of the 45,000+ fans watching all the race action. They also noticed how the sun and wind were beating on everyone in that stadium. It was hot and windy and everyone was getting fried. They went to pull some sunscreen out of their backpack and the only sunscreen they had was made for surfers and was thick and sticky. This is the same problem they would have every time they went camping in the sand dunes, sunscreen that felt thick and sticky.
Having grown up in Southern California, surfing and traveling all our lives, we knew the importance of protecting ourselves from the sun, but we did not want to wear this thick white sunscreen when we were not surfing. We did not want dirt and sand sticking to us while riding through the dunes or watching motocross. So we set out to develop sunscreen that was of the highest quality but that felt like we were wearing nothing and was dry to the touch. After two years of intense athlete development and testing, Surface was born.
