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.
In 2011, EXTRASHADE emerged from a heartfelt realization during a family vacation in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Witnessing loved ones endure painful sunburns, we recognized a widespread gap in sun protection awareness. The issue wasn't just the discomfort of white marks from regular sunscreen—it was the prevailing misconception that darker skin tones were immune to skin cancer.
Fueled by a desire to bridge this gap, EXTRASHADE was born. Not just a skincare solution, but a revolution aimed at providing effective sun protection while enhancing the natural radiance of darker skin. Our range of products, tailored for diverse skin tones, is a testament to the celebration of individuality and confidence in the sun.
