Your Daily Shield Against UV Damage
Clean, Powerful Sunscreen for All.
In a world where skin cancer affects millions, one visionary dermatologist has turned decades of expertise into a breakthrough: a clean, non-toxic mineral sunscreen that protects, repairs, and revitalizes. Meet the science-backed shield born from relentless innovation.
Dr. Mark Gray isn't just a dermatologist – he's a pioneer in the battle against skin cancer. Harvard-trained in dermatology and surgery, Dr. Gray has spent over three decades on the frontlines, treating patients, performing life-saving surgeries, and pioneering prevention strategies. His credentials speak volumes: board-certified expertise combined with a passion that has transformed skin health worldwide.
Skin Cancer Treatment & Surgery
From his early days in New Zealand, Dr. Gray founded the Skin Institute, the country's largest chain of specialized skin clinics. Focused exclusively on skin cancer treatments, Mohs surgery, and proactive prevention, the Skin Institute has helped thousands detect and defeat skin cancer early.
Skin Cancer Prevention
But Dr. Gray didn't stop there – recognizing the need for widespread screening, he co-founded MoleMap, a revolutionary skin cancer detection service now spanning over 100 clinics across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. MoleMap's advanced imaging and AI-driven diagnostics have set global standards, saving countless lives by catching melanoma and other cancers in their earliest stages.
A New Mission
Through it all, Dr. Gray witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of UV exposure – and the shortcomings of conventional sunscreens. Harsh chemicals, ineffective protection, and toxic formulations were failing people. This ignited his mission: to create something better. This was the catalyst for Ao Skincare, and its revolutionary suncare products are designed to protect and repair.

The Science of Sun Protection.
Mineral vs Chemical Block
Chemical blocks absorb rays, converting to heat that can irritate skin and harm reefs. Mineral or ‘physical’ blocks reflect sun rays for immediate, stable protection.
Ao goes beyond, delivering repair, hydration, and primer in one clean, reef-safe formula. No trade-offs. Just smarter suncare.
