Shontay Lundy is the CEO, Creator, and Founder of Black Girl Sunscreen (BGS). In 2016, when Shontay became tired of using sunscreen that left a white residue, she decided to leverage her MBA and knack for business to develop a melanin friendly option for women who look like her. The groundbreaking product has not only provided women with darker skin tones a healthy option to protect their skin, but the brand has cultivated a strong reputation for empowering black women.

While working to build awareness for BGS, Shontay has continued to fuel her passion by traveling the world educating women of color on the importance of wearing sunscreen. She has emerged as a thought leader in the beauty industry and her success has been chronicled by Forbes, Business Insider, Teen Vogue, InStyle and countless other national publications. 

In January 2021, BGS launched in several ULTA locations across the country as well as in 200 Target stores nationwide.
