Our Story
Making the Best Sunscreen for Dark Skin
EXTRASHADE was launched by Anthony Clarke in 2011 after three years of scientific research aimed towards developing a formula that would give exceptional sun protection and at the same time provide nourishment for darker skin complexions.
While vacationing on the beach with his family in Ft Lauderdale, Florida he noticed his young nieces became very sun burnt. This prompted him to question friends and family about their use of sun protection products and he discovered that none of them used sunscreen. The primary reasons: they were not concerned with getting skin cancer because of their dark skin tone and the unpleasant experience of the ashy or chalky look from traditional sunscreen.
Anthony’s passion for marketing and preventive care motivated him to create EXTRASHADE. The inspiration is to provide sun care for a rapidly growing community to maintain their health and appearance.
At EXTRASHADE, our journey began in 2011 when Anthony Clarke's three-year research led to a sun protection formula that shields and celebrates darker skin complexions.
The spark for EXTRASHADE ignited during a family beach vacation in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Seeing his nieces' painful sunburns highlighted a gap in awareness. Anthony found that traditional sunscreens were avoided due to chalky residue concerns and the misconception that darker skin tones were invulnerable to skin cancer.
Driven by a desire for positive impact, Anthony created EXTRASHADE to empower with effective sun care that safeguards health and honours skin of color's radiance.
We offer a customized range of products for diverse skin tones, elevating sun protection to where health meets confidence.
