The Faces Behind the Shield

Tobi Smith CHIEF INNOVATOR

“We founded Solar Shield with a simple mission: to make SPF invisible. For too long, we had to choose between high protection and a clear finish. I spent years in the lab perfecting our clear gel formula because I believe that the best sunscreen is the one you actually want to wear every single day. It’s not just about blocking rays; it’s about making sun safety a seamless, invisible part of your morning ritual.”

Bethany Oyefeso SKINCARE SPECIALIST

“My journey started with a focus on recovery. Sun exposure is inevitable, but skin damage shouldn't be. I wanted to create products that don't just shield, but actively heal and hydrate. Our After-Sun line is the result of that passion — blending soothing botanicals with advanced science. To me, skincare is about more than just appearance; it’s about the quiet confidence that comes from knowing your skin is healthy and protected from the inside out.”
