About

Up to 90% of skin aging is caused by UV light from the sun. Most of this is caused by UVA light and only one FDA-approved chemical ingredient protects against it. To address this, Lygg has developed a patented, photostable, and safe ingredient that triples current UVA protection.

Graham Dick is the CEO and co-founder of Lygg. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Graham obtained his PhD in Chemistry from Stanford University and previously served as a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. Following the ban of two common sunscreen ingredients in Hawaii and due to increasing concerns regarding the skin penetration of the remaining ingredients, Graham founded Lygg in 2020 to create a new generation of safe, innovative sunscreen ingredients.
