burnd Partners with Leading Health and Sports Organizations

High-performance sun and skincare brand burnd has established partnerships with several prominent organizations in health and sports, marking a significant expansion for the company. This initiative includes collaborations with AIM at Melanoma, the Veteran Golfers Association (VGA), Honcho Pickleball, and the National Ski Patrol (NSP). These alliances reflect burnd’s commitment to innovation, community support, and excellence in outdoor activities.

Founded by Dr. Mark Mitchnick, known for his development of transparent zinc oxide (Z-COTE®), burnd aims to align with organizations that share its values. Malachy Mitchnick, CEO of burnd, stated, “At burnd, we choose partners the same way we choose friends, thoughtfully and with shared purpose.” The partnerships entail a focus on health, performance, and community engagement, particularly in areas where mental and physical wellness are paramount.

The brand is known for its medical-grade products designed for protection, repair, and cleansing. Its flagship product, burnd SPF 41, is a lightweight and highly water-resistant hybrid sunscreen that ensures robust protection. Alongside this, burnd offers the burnd Restore Serum, aimed at supporting the skin’s microbiome and reinforcing its natural barrier. The company has plans for three additional product launches in 2026 to create a streamlined skincare system.

Each product is developed with a foundation of rigorous testing and evidence-based practices, ensuring safety and performance. “Our Veterans have protected this nation — the least we can do is help protect them,” said Josh Payton, President and CEO of the Veteran Golfers Association. He highlighted the importance of effective sun protection for veterans spending long hours on the golf course.

The partnerships serve various critical missions. AIM at Melanoma focuses on advancing research and improving outcomes for melanoma patients. The organization manages a unique collaborative fresh frozen primary melanoma tissue bank, providing essential samples for developing life-saving treatments. Collaborating with AIM underscores burnd’s dedication to supporting scientific progress in skin health.

Honcho Pickleball, recognized as the largest amateur pickleball community in the United States, hosts numerous leagues and tournaments across over 60 locations. This partnership allows burnd to reach athletes participating in one of the country’s fastest-growing sports, providing them with essential sun protection and recovery products.

The National Ski Patrol, an organization dedicated to protecting outdoor enthusiasts, will benefit from burnd’s performance-driven skincare. Their products are formulated to withstand the challenges posed by high-altitude sun exposure and extreme cold, ensuring safety for skiers and outdoor adventurers.

The Veteran Golfers Association enriches the lives of military veterans and their families through the sport of golf, promoting camaraderie and community. This partnership reflects burnd’s commitment to fostering connections and supporting the well-being of veterans through active engagement in sports.

Through these collaborations, burnd aims to enhance the lives of individuals in various communities, providing them with effective sun protection and promoting a healthy lifestyle. The brand’s dedication to quality and purpose-driven innovation is evident in both its product offerings and its choice of partners.
