Meet Dr. Mark Gray:
A Lifetime Fighting Skin Cancer

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.

From his early days in New Zealand, Dr. Gray founded the Skin Institute, the country's largest chain of specialized skin clinics. Focused on skin cancer treatments, Mohs surgery, and proactive prevention, the Skin Institute has helped thousands detect and defeat skin cancer early.

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.

Through it all, Dr. Gray witnessed first-hand 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.

The Birth of Ao Skincare:
Innovation from First Principles

Driven by his surgical precision and unyielding commitment to prevention, Dr. Gray founded Ao Skincare – a US-based brand tailored for the American market, where skin cancer rates are alarmingly high. Starting from the ground up, he applied first principles: questioning every ingredient, every formula, and every claim.

No shortcuts. No compromises. Dr. Gray obsessed over sourcing the best-in-class ingredients – non-nano zinc oxide for superior mineral protection, astaxanthin (6000x stronger than vitamin C) for potent repair, and niacinamide for barrier strength. His formulations are clean and non-toxic, EWG Verified®, reef-safe, and free from endocrine disruptors or allergens common in chemical sunscreens.

The result? 6000x Elemental Screen SPF30 – a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen that doesn't just block UV rays; it repairs oxidative damage, hydrates deeply, primes for makeup, and strengthens your skin's natural defenses. Born from Dr. Gray's decades of experience, Ao isn't just sunscreen – it's a daily ritual for lifelong skin health.
