Sunryz is a new body care brand for tweens that makes hydrating, skin barrier support products that are sensorial, age-appropriate, dermatologist-tested, and powered by at least 90% naturally derived ingredients. "Gen Alpha is entering the beauty category with unprecedented awareness and influence," said Tarun Malkani, CEO of PDC Brands. "At PDC, we see this as a long-term growth opportunity that brings with it a responsibility to raise the bar for what young people put on their skin."
Inspired by the optimism of a sunrise, this new brand invites tween confidence to flourish as they nourish skin with fragrance-forward body care formulas featuring a skin-caring trio of cupuaçu butter, coconut oil and antioxidant-packed açaí oil. Sunryz is introducing itself to Gen Alpha with three daydream-inspired signature scent profiles made to mix and match: Amber Sol, Golden Sugar and Petal Splash.
