HOW DO YOU SUNSCREEN YOUR BACK?
The Adventurer's Answer to Smarter Sustainable Suncare
Koala is developing an innovative, smart, and sustainable solution to elevate the standard for personalized suncare and skin cancer prevention for high-risk populations including youth, athletes, and outdoor adventurers.
OUR MISSION
PREVENTING
SKIN CANCER
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in youth and young adults.
With 90% of skin cancers associated with UV exposure, sunscreen is the gold standard for prevention.
However, only 10% of youth sunscreen, and only 33% of them reapply sunscreen. Is it a surprise that skin cancer is the leading cancer in persons age 25-29?
OUR ENDEAVOR
TRANSFORMING
FUN IN THE SUN
We at Koala have discovered that this problem is a consequence of many factors that are not addressed by today's approach to suncare and skin cancer prevention.
We are setting out on a bold and ambitious mission to transform the standard for personalized prevention and early detection of skin cancer, pre-mature skin aging, and other UV-associated skin diseases for all persons.
