Our Founder,
Clara Chough
Hi, my name is Clara Chough, and I am the founder of The Safe Sun Initiative! Sun protection has been important to me for years and is a part of my daily routine. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, I am a firm believer in protecting against potential hazards caused by the sun. I hope that The Safe Sun Initiative will allow all people to protect their skin from the sun.
