SUNFLY BRANDS, INC.

About: SunFly is developing UV-sensitive, color-changing inks that you stamp on your skin, sunscreen is applied over the stamp and the rest of your exposed skin, and the inks will indicate by reversibly changing color whether you have applied enough sunscreen and when to reapply – at-a-glance, in realtime and based on any user condition. Problem: Sunscreen users only apply about 1/3 of the amount of sunscreen they should and don’t reapply often enough. This results in overexposure to UV wh... ich causes 100% of sunburns, 93% of skin cancers and 90% of the age-related changes to skin. Skin cancer is more common than all other forms of cancer combined in the U.S. and your risk of melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) goes up with every sunburn. Traction: We received a $255k Phase I SBIR grant from the National Science Foundation and proved our SPF Indicator was safe and effective across a range of sunscreens with variable broadband protection, we have developed an MVP, raised $1.45MM in a Preferred Seed round, raised another 225k SAFE bridge and are now seeking $1MM in Series Seed-2 Preferred financing. Safety/Regulatory: 3rd-party regulatory consultants for the U.S., E.U. and Canada (having the highest regulatory standards for sunscreen) concluded that our products would not be regulated. Furthermore, our chromophore (UV-sensitive, color-changing dye) currently exceeds U.S. cosmetic safety standards and uniformly negative (good) test results have been received on all in silico, in vitro and in vivo testing on relevant endpoints such as mutagenicity, genotoxicity, skin irritation and sensitization. All other ink ingredients have established safety profiles. IP: 4 patents allowed and 11 pending in two patent families accounting for 85% of the global recreational sunscreen market ($22B in 2022). Vision: No other OTC drug is as consistently or woefully under-administered as sunscreen. It is our vision that our SPF Indicator stamps will become as ubiquitous in our patented sunscreen caps as measuring cups are now on bottles of Children’s Tylenol, allowing people to apply the correct “dose” of sunscreen—a lifesaving drug—at the right time, every time.More
