planting the seeds
Our passion is fueled by our founder, Brandi Corbello “BC”, who transformed adversity into success in the tech industry but faced a life-changing melanoma diagnosis which caused her to appreciate what she puts in and on her body and really became OBSESSED with sunscreen.
One day she was reaching for her beloved daily SPF, couldn't find one on the shelf that she felt comfortable putting on and realized there was a problem. At this point, she had also had a grown appreciation for organizations such as Melanoma Research Foundation that gave her the opportunity for a better life coming out of treatment and felt we weren't advocating enough for Melanoma prevention or treatment options.

Once BC realized there weren't enough clean products on shelves, not enough transparency into these beloved products, and not enough awareness or advocacy for the consumers, she went hard to work to create a company that would fully embody these values. Welcome to Melan, where everyone is one in a melan!
Melan is short for melanoma and symbolizes melons that have a rind made to protect what is so sweet about them and are known to be hydrating and nourishing. All of this ties to our whole mission from a product and community perspective.
Our mission is to bring more awareness to melanoma and give back to organizations that share this mission. We will unlock this though products that protect you but also ones that make you feel good as a consumer with thoughtful formulations in every single product.
