Natural sun protection brand Sundriven launches Kickstarter to support continued growth

LONG BEACH, Calif. - May 17, 2018 - PRLog -- Sundriven, the eco-friendly, fashion-forward maker of UPF 50 sun protection clothing for women, launches a Kickstarter campaign to fund its growth. The campaign kicks off May 22.

"We're bursting at the seams," says Sundriven Founder and CEO Mitzi Runyan. "As national statistics for skin cancer steadily increase, and consumer awareness for it does as well, our brand is seeing a surge in interest. We are launching the Kickstarter campaign to meet this demand head on."

The sun energizes us. It also steals our beauty. UV rays cause 90 percent of premature skin aging, and are the leading cause of skin cancer. Mitzi Runyan, the founder of Sundriven®, is on a personal mission to help women stay beautiful while coexisting with the sun. Sundriven®, her brand of elegant and versatile athleisure wear, is plant-based, eco-friendly, naturally cooling, and has a high UPF rating of 50+.  Sundriven® blocks 98% of UVA & UVB rays, is dermatologist tested and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. After reaching major sales milestones and securing retailers such as The Ritz Carlton, Biltmore Hotels and Waldorf Astoria, this campaign comes at the right time to support projected growth.

"We love the sun, we've also learned to fear it. Women need to feel protected and feminine - It's no longer necessary that we need to choose. This Kickstarter campaign is our opportunity to foster a sustainable company that gives back to women entrepreneurs, funds cancer research and keeps helping women everywhere embrace the sun with confidence," said Runyan.

Funds from Sundriven's Kickstarter campaign will allow the brand to expand its team, buy larger quantities of its sustainably harvested fabric, and move into a larger commercial space that allows it to meet growing inventory demand.

Runyan launched Sundriven after seeing her grandparents being diagnosed with Melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Since then, the entrepreneur has expanded Sundriven's product line from its iconic driving gloves to a full collection of sun protection garments that keep women looking and feeling beautiful.
