DR BRANDON HEAD

Dr Brandon Head grew up in Gauteng, studied Medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS), completing his degree in 1990. During his early years of practice, the importance and long term of Preventative Health, Exercise and Wellness became an area of interest and focus. To improve expertise in this area, Brandon competed a MSc Sports Medicine at the University of Pretoria (2006).  A Diploma in Occupational Health (DOH) was received from the University of Cape Town in 2020.

During this time Brandon continued to pursue his interest in variety of outdoor activities. He has completed numerous triathlons, a full iron man, several Dusi canoe marathons, road and mountain biking events. Many hours were spent in the sun, on the road, trails and in and on water. This illustrated the limitations of only protecting your skin during training or an event. The time outdoors and in water makes reapplication of daily sunscreen important, but difficult.  Chatting to Wayne, often while riding mountain bikes, his ideas were shared about a more complete solution of sun care for the skin. Following on the many discussions, a range of products was developed to start preparing and protecting the skin long before you even enter the sun to train or compete.
