PRESS RELEASE

[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]

Australia - 5th of February 2025- Inspired by her family's battle with melanoma, an Aussie mum set out to make sun protection easier for everyone—leading to the creation of SUNNYBOD. This innovative sun care brand is transforming how families stay safe in the sun with its eco-friendly, Refillable Sunscreen Brush. Designed for quick, easy, and mess-free application, SUNNYBOD takes the hassle out of sun safety, ensuring protection is effortless and accessible for all.

A Game-Changer for Parents

Parents understand the daily challenge of traditional sunscreen application-it's messy, time-consuming, and often met with resistance. SUNNYBOD's refillable sunscreen brush removes these barriers, making sunscreen application quick, mess-free, and fun for kids. Say goodbye to greasy fingers and hello to easy, on-the-go sun protection!  Crafted with BPA-free, 100% recyclable materials (recyclable through the TerraCycle®, Zero Waste Box™ system) and vegan and cruelty-free, this innovative tool is gentle on delicate skin, making it ideal for busy families and children with sensitive skin.  "The brush lets parents apply sunscreen in seconds without the sticky mess," says the founder. "It's a small change that makes a big difference in creating healthy sun habits for kids."  - Shannon Ratahi founder SUNNYBOD

Part of a Global Movement  

The launch of SUNNYBOD comes at a pivotal time. As melanoma and skin cancer awareness takes centre stage in Australian media and public discourse, there's never been a greater focus on the importance of sun safety. With skin cancer rates in Australia among the highest globally, families are seeking practical, effective, and sustainable solutions to protect themselves from harmful UV rays.  SUNNYBOD bridges the gap between high-performance sun care and sustainable design, empowering parents and individuals to prioritise sun safety without compromise. By providing an innovative, mess-free way to apply sunscreen, SUNNYBOD makes it easier than ever to adopt healthy habits that align with the growing awareness of skin cancer prevention. 

Eco-Friendly and Inclusive Innovation  

SUNNYBOD's products align with the growing consumer demand for sustainability. By focusing on refillable, durable, and recyclable materials, the brand offers a practical solution to reducing single-use plastic waste in the sun care industry. Additionally, the hypoallergenic brush heads cater to sensitive skin, while the ability to fill the applicator with a sunscreen of choice further enhances inclusivity by accommodating a diverse range of preferences. 

Spreading Awareness and Saving Lives  

SUNNYBOD was born from a deeply personal journey-a family's battle with melanoma. After the founder's mother faced three melanomas, the need for accessible and effective sun safety became a priority.  "Our vision is a world with zero deaths from melanoma through effective and accessible sun safety." says the founder. "At SUNNYBOD, we are redefining sun safety with functional personal care products designed to help busy parents and the wider community create meaningful sun safety routines that promote safety, security, and fun."   Through education and innovative products, SUNNYBOD makes sunscreen application effortless, helping families build healthy sun habits and protect themselves every day.
