From research to real life.

MDSolarSciences is committed to proven, effective formulas that elevate your daily SPF experience.

Our story

It all started with Sun Care

MDSolarSciences was founded by Dr. Robert J. Friedman, a leading dermatological oncologist who transformed melanoma detection with the ABCDs of melanoma screening. His work with the American Academy of Dermatology instilled our core belief: skin health begins with sun protection.

Dr. Friedman’s dual expertise as a dermatologist and dermatopathologist informs our SPF formulations, combining a deep understanding of skin health at both surface and cellular levels. This holistic approach drives our commitment to clean, intentional products and scientifically proven ingredients focused on sun protection, sun damage prevention, and skin restoration leveraging our proprietary ProVention-R technology found in all our formulas, all while ensuring a luxurious feel that fits seamlessly into daily routines.

Our formulas are free from synthetic fragrances and designed for all skin
types, including the most sensitive. Daily sun protection is fundamental to our brand, guiding our innovation. We prioritize safety and efficacy, creating versatile products that minimize unnecessary ingredients while delivering superior broad-spectrum UV protection, all with long-term skin health in mind.

What is ProVention-R® Technology?

At the heart of all our formulas is our proprietary ProVention-R® technology — a combination of powerhouse ingredients that work to protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays, blue light, and environmental aggressors, prevent future damage, and restore skin health

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Building on our passion for protecting our skin with clean, effective, broad-spectrum SPF skincare, we also feel strongly about protecting the planet. We’re consciously committed to treading lightly in the world and being mindful about everything that goes into making our skincare. We know that every step we take impacts the environment, which in turn affects us all.
  • Planet Positive Packaging

    All of our packaging is 100% recyclable and has met the high standards of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.

  • Sustainable Manufacturing

    We use zero-carbon manufacturing facilities with the best sustainability practices, including advanced solar power, to reduce our carbon footprint.

  • Reef Safe

    We don’t use oxybenzone or octinoxate which can bleed into the ecosystem and cause coral bleaching, depleting the ocean of the vital nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

  • Must-have Mineral

    Our mineral formulas are made from 100% naturally derived mineral zinc oxide—the healthiest sunscreen option for your skin and the environment.

  • No To Nasties

    Our ingredients are clean, as well as ethically and sustainably sourced.

  • Sustainably Scent Free

    Our formulas are free from artificial fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin and leave films on lakes and oceans. We believe that suncare shouldn’t leave you smelling like a coconut, but blend seamlessly into your everyday routine.
