Sunscreen MIst is known for its automated patented sunscreen-spray stations and booths (shown above) – and the company will be on ABC’s Shark Tank tonight. The company hopes to remind consumers about the importance of diligent sun protection, since May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

Tony Fayne, the president and founder of Sunscreen Mist, was inspired to create these innovative sunscreen-spray machines after a close friend was diagnosed with Melanoma. “I experienced how life changing this disease can be, not only for the patient, but also for friends and family. It’s a difficult process that too many people have to go through,” said Fayne. “I knew there had to be a way to increase sun protection behaviors by making sunscreen application easier and access greater, and that is how this concept was born.”

Josh Kaplan, CEO, Sunscreen Mist, adds, “I look forward to the day when sunscreen application becomes second nature, like brushing your teeth,” said Josh Kaplan, CEO, Sunscreen Mist.

Sunscreen Mist’s patented sunscreen-spray machines include fully automated booths (similar to spray tan machines) and self-serve portable spray stations that quickly and conveniently protect people from the suns dangerous rays with the FDA appropriate amount of sunscreen. The ooths and stations are ideal amenities for outdoor venues such as hotel pools, theme parks, golf clubs, campgrounds, beaches, and anywhere else people spend significant time in the sun. They are designed to accept payment in the form of coins, cash, credit card and can be customized to work with room keys, wristbands and other wireless technologies.
