THE BACKSTORY

IT ALL STARTED IN A CLASSROOM

Before we ever showed up in stores, Unitay Pro! was created with kiddos in mind. Our founder, Holly, created the brand in 2005 with a goal of delivering SPF to classrooms across Louisiana and Texas.

As a mom and former elementary school teacher, Holly was inspired to encourage children everywhere to start protecting their skin at a young ageso it becomes a daily healthy habit, like brushing their teeth or washing their hands!

But soon she discovered that because sunscreen was considered an over-the-counter drug,SPF wasn’t allowed on school campuses without a doctor's note.Holly quickly recognized the need for change and began to advocate for SPF in schools on Capitol Hill. Now, more than 25 states allow schools to have sunscreen — no doctor’s note required!

We’re proud to continue pioneering change bydonating SPF pumpsto schools and communities across America.

We’ve donated more than 6,800 SPF pumps to 1,900+ classrooms and youth organizations — and we’re just getting started!
