SUR Skincare was founded by Dr. Clarissa Shetler and Cameron Shetler (her scientist daughter). Both have personal stories that drove the passion to find good skincare.

Clarissa has a childhood skin condition called ichthyosis (fish scale skin) in which dermatologists only had a recommendation of Crisco lard. Cameron has continuously struggled with acne and had troubles finding an effective solution. After realizing how many harmful ingredients are found in personal care products, they decided that they could do something better — something clean.
