Ounce By Ounce

Shining a light on the need for sunscreen.

Before Supergoop! was ever found on a store shelf, our founder, Holly Thaggard, started the company to get SPF pumps into schools. Her mission was to change the way the world thinks about sunscreen, starting with our youth.

For the past 20 years, we’ve continued Holly’s work by donating SPF to schools across America. Now, our work continues with even more passion and purpose than ever...

INTRODUCING

Starting in 2024, we’re taking an even bigger step to serve those who need us. In addition to donating sunscreen to schools, we’re working with communities around the country to improve sunscreen access, education and advocacy to foster daily sunscreen use and encourage lifelong healthy skincare habits.

3 PILLARS OF CHANGE

The Ounce By Ounce® program centers its efforts around three key pillars to impact change on a deeper level.
