BIO
Graham Dick is the CEO and co-founder of Lygg. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Graham obtained his PhD in Chemistry from Stanford University and previously served as a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. Following the ban of two common sunscreen ingredients in Hawaii and due to increasing concerns regarding the skin penetration of the remaining ingredients, Graham founded Lygg in 2020 to create a new generation of safe, innovative sunscreen ingredients.
