Trusted by Olympians. 🎯💪🔬 Introducing the Ageless Recovery Complex (ARC), designed for active skin and found exclusively in Dermasport products. 🛡️ Superior sweat and water-resistant formulas protect and nourish your skin even in the harshest conditions.⚡ Developed by a Navy dermatologist and endorsed by Olympians, Dermasport is a complete high-performance skincare brand built for active lifestyles.Successful MVP Launch Confirms Strong Consumer Demand. 📋In Summer 2023, we launched our 4-step facial skincare system for swimmers as a proof of concept—and the response from the athlete community has been overwhelming! *Results based on a 6-week study with 62 athletes.

## FAQ
1. **I can’t wait to try the new Dermasport sunscreens! Are they going to be reef-safe?**
   - Hi Lily, great question—none of the new sunscreens contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, two ingredients linked to coral bleaching. That said, the SPF 50 Clear Body Spray and SPF 30 Lip Balm do include avobenzone and octocrylene, which are banned in Hawaii. For reef-safe protection, your best bet is Dermasport’s SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen, SPF 30 Mineral Body Spray, or SPF 30 Daily Facial Moisturizer—all made with only non-nano zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
2. **Why did Dermasport start with swimmers for their proof of concept?**
   - Great question - We decided to launch our proof of concept with swimmers because, of all athletes, the aquatics community faces some of the toughest skin challenges due to constant exposure to the sun, wind, cold, and harsh chemicals like chlorine, bromine, and salt. We knew that if Dermasport could effectively protect, hydrate, and renew a swimmer’s skin, it could help athletes of all kinds overcome their own skincare struggles. That's why we're raising capital today!
3. **I am a swimmer who is trying your product, and I am also interested in investing. Perhaps I missed it, but do you have links to the terms of the SAFE, financials, expected ROI and timelines, and similar documents?**
   - Hey Grant. Thanks for the support and I hope you're enjoying the products. We're in the process of filing the Form C now and planning to "go live" with the Early Bird special next Thursday, May 8th. At that time we'll have more details to share, and you're welcome to ask more questions here as well. Thank you!
4. **I see you are showing $345k in sales. Is that cumulative total since inception, T12, YTD or 2024 sales. It’d be helpful to see more granular data on sales. Is there any financial data? What is the burn rate and projected burn rate? Is there a capitalization table? How much equ...**
   - Hi Brad - thank you for your email and great questions. Some of these details, including the Cap table, can be found through our filed Form C. In terms of our performance, $345k was our cumulative revenue, but 2024 closed with $237k in gross revenue. Our YTD sales are up >80% through Amazon compared with the same period last year. Our current burn rate is averaging ~$25k per month as we scale the business. Managers and founders currently control 70% and have invested >$1M into the busin...
5. **You just finished a round of funding and raised 600k? So this is a new round? How much are you looking to raise, only 100k?, and what will funds be used for? What and when is exit plan? Any patents? Thanks!**
   - HI Yaacov - thank you for your email and interest in Dermasport. We closed our last round ($600k) with accredited investors at the end of April. The minimum target for our Wefunder campaign is $100k with a ceiling of $400k. The funds will be used to support our product line expansion, marketing to expand our reach to more athletes, and support ongoing OPEX. Our intention is to have an exit after 5 years. While we have developed a proprietary formula, the Ageless Recovery Complex (ARC), we do ...

- Q: EOY update? Thanks
  - A: Hi GP - thank you for the check-in. We are working on our end of year financials now and will share an update once completed in the coming weeks. Thank you, Todd
- Q: Hi - Sorry if this is listed elsewhere, but when do the Early Bird terms end? Thanks!
  - A: Hey Nick, Early Bird terms are reserved for the first $200K in commitments—over half of that has already been claimed. You can track how much remains using the red ticker above the total raised.
- Q: What does this product cost? Is there an affiliate program?
  - A: Hey Yaacov, all of our product pricing can be found on our website: Dermasport.com. And yes! Dermasport has a fast-growing ambassador affiliate program made up of ~140 athletes helping drive awareness and adoption through grassroots momentum. These are community leaders—coaches, competitors, and advocates—who share a passion for sports and skincare, helping raise awareness about the importance of sun protection and healthy skincare habits at all levels of competition. Our ambassador team is one of the most exciting parts of the Dermasport story, and we're actively expanding beyond swimming into other sports. Many of our next ambassadors will come directly from our Wefunder investor community—people who believe in the mission and want to help grow the brand while sharing in its success.
- Q: I see you are showing $345k in sales. Is that cumulative total since inception, T12, YTD or 2024 sales. It’d be helpful to see more granular data on sales. Is there any financial data? What is the burn rate and projected burn rate? Is there a capitalization table? How much equity do the managers and founders have and how much did they invest? I like the product, but the Wefunder is very light on financial data, even projections.
