KNOW YOUR SHIELD!

Most people never check what’s actually standing between their skin and the sun. Here’s what’s in Ultimate Shield and why it matters.

→ ZINC OXIDE + TITANIUM DIOXIDE
Mineral UV filters. They sit on the surface of your skin and stop UV before it reaches the layers underneath. No waiting period, no chemical filters.

→ BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 50
UVB burns. UVA ages and damages deeper. Broad spectrum means both are covered, not just the one you can feel.

→ WATER RESISTANT
Built to stay on through sweat, spray and saltwater.

→ ANTIOXIDANTS
Added support against free radical damage from UV and environmental exposure.

The season changed. Your routine shouldn’t.
Protect your skin. Perform outside.

A little team building on the Lighting! ⚡️🎶

After we got off the water the other day, it made me think about how lucky we are. What started with a passion for helping and protecting people from skin cancer has grown into a family-run company built on science, a love for adventure, laughter, and a mission we believe in every single day.

Working together comes with its challenges, but it’s also one of our greatest blessings. We get to build something meaningful side by side, and we’re incredibly thankful for everyone who’s supported us along the way!

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of the Harken Derm journey. We couldn’t do it without you. 💙

Always answering the call to protect. ☀️

Broad Spectrum SPF 50 mineral protection for whatever the day brings.

Wildfire smoke is severely affecting air quality across parts of North America and the sun seems much less bright:

Does smoky air protect your skin from the sun?

The answer is not entirely.

Wildfire smoke can reduce some of the UVB rays that cause sunburn, especially when smoke is very dense. However, a significant amount of UVA radiation (the rays that pe*****te deeper into the skin and contribute to premature aging, pigment spots, and skin cancer risk) can still reach the surface.

In other words, a hazy sky doesn’t mean your skin is protected.

If you’re spending time outdoors while smoke is present:
☀️ Continue wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
🧢 Wear sun-protective clothing, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
📱 Check both the UV Index and the Air Quality Index (AQI) before heading outside.
☁️ If air quality is poor, limit prolonged outdoor activity whenever possible to help protect your lungs as well as your skin.

Our thoughts are with the communities, firefighters, and first responders impacted by the ongoing wildfires. As a dermatologist-founded company, we believe that sharing accurate, science-based information is one small way we can help people make informed decisions about their health and safety.

Stay safe, take care of your skin, and take care of one another. 🩶

Last week spectators stopped by our tent at the Newport Bermuda Race Starting Line Festival, and we’re so glad they did.

In partnership with Sail Beyond Cancer Newport , the Harken Derm Team assisted Dr. Edit Olasz Harken, board-certified dermatologist and two other colleagues from Brown University who volunteered their time to do free skin checks at Fort Adams.

Among the 82 people we examined, we identified precancerous lesions called actinic keratosis, benign growths, and one basal cell carcinoma that may not have been caught otherwise. We found one concerning mole and recommended biopsy.

Skin cancer is one of the most common and most preventable cancers. See your dermatologist regularly, and wear SPF every day!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, to the amazing dermatologists, and to Sail Beyond Cancer and the Newport Bermuda Race for making this possible
