Our Story

Cove Suncare really started long before the formulas — on a trail in the middle of nowhere. Two weeks before my engagement party, my husband and I set out on a 12-mile hike. It was one of those incredible days where you lose track of time, the views keep pulling you higher, and the sun feels more like a companion than a threat. Until it wasn’t.

I came back with one of the worst sunburns of my life — so bad it showed up in all my engagement photos. Instead of glowing, I was peeling. Instead of feeling effortless, I was uncomfortable and embarrassed. And in that moment, I knew: sunscreen should never be the reason you can’t enjoy your best memories.

Cove Suncare is my promise: to protect your skin without disrupting your day. I worked with chemists who understood that “clean” means more than a label — it means formulations that are gentle, reef-safe, and actually wearable. (Yes, I tested dozens of prototypes all summer long.) Testing them took me back to where I’ve always felt most alive: the ocean.

Growing up, I’d spend hours swimming past the breakers, salty hair tangled by the wind, toes buried in warm sand. But no matter how free I felt, sunscreen was always a burden — heavy, chalky, something I dreaded reapplying. Cove Suncare became my way of changing that.

 

Our formulas are as light as sea foam, as clean as the tide, and as protective as the shade you chase at noon. Reef-safe, skin-safe, and made to move with you — so you can paddle out, dive deep, or stay stretched out on the sand until the very last streak of sunlight.

Because to me, SPF isn’t just protection. It’s freedom — the freedom to stay out longer, laugh harder, and come home with nothing but golden memories.

From a sunburned engagement night to every ocean-soaked adventure since, Cove Suncare is my way of making sure your memories glow — not burn.
