The Dream
True Coast is a sunscreen brand launched on the Outer Banks in July of 2026. Our first formula is an SPF 50 mineral, reef friendly, non-greasy lotion.
We've designed a skincare-grade, reef-friendly mineral sunscreen that has landed us a collaboration with a board-certified dermatologist. However, there's more to the dream than just replacing chemical sunscreens in coastal stores. We're here to build a brand that supports others — authentic and fitting Outer Banks brands are able to reach customers using our storefront. The goal is to grow as a brand, and in turn, have these brands grow with us. If this dream really gets rolling, we would love to sponsor surfers and athletes, send them on surf trips, and have some rad videography done. This is a BIG mission; we are in our grassroots phase and need all the support we can get!
Thank you,
