Dr. Friedman founded MD SolarSciences, the first physician-driven, skin cancer prevention and sun protection company dedicated to "Advancing the Science of Sun Protection." In 2013, MDSolarSciences also developed a unique, innovative and proprietary line of best in class anti-aging skin care products to complement its sun care line.

A graduate of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Friedman practices clinical dermatology with a special emphasis on cutaneous oncology and malignant melanoma at NYU School of Medicine, Department of Dermatology on the senior faculty as Clinical Professor. A renowned thought leader in his field, he has written more than 300 peer-reviewed medical journal articles, 30 medical textbook chapters and served as Senior Editor/Co-Editor of the seminal textbook Cancer of the Skin. He is also a senior co-author of the so-called "ABCDEs" for early detection of melanoma. Dr. Friedman speaks regularly, at global/national seminars, has served on the Melanoma/Skin Cancer Committee and was Chair of Industry Liaison Committee of the American Academy of Dermatology. He is also the Chair of the Institute for Melanoma/Skin Cancer Research. Dr. Friedman's personal mission is to cultivate a more educated and vigilant patient who understands and complies with healthier sun habits. He is a firm believer that "no one needs to die from melanoma" and has devoted his career and research to that goal.


Chris Birchby, Founder & CEO - COOLA Sun Care

Eco-entrepreneur Chris Birchby spent many hours at the beach growing up in New Jersey and Long Island and continued his love for the coast by attending graduate school in Southern California. In 2002, when both of his parents had melanoma scares, Chris began investigating serious sun protection and was inspired to create COOLA. He decided to bring together both his creative and analytic strengths to positively impact not only people’s health, but also the environment.  Chris and a team of top FDA experts on sun protection created a broad collection of natural sunscreens perfect for every skin type or activity level. The result was COOLA, a line of sunscreens that are up to 97% certified organic and made in the USA. Ingredients were sourced using a Farm-to-Face®  philosophy and products were formulated that incorporate natural plant protection and plant phyto-protection ingredients. COOLA's headquarters and warehouse are in San Diego and are quickly expanding. His employee’s enjoy weekly yoga sessions in the warehouse and healthy initiatives that help keep the staff motivated while fully enjoying the Southern California and COOLA lifestyles. 

Prior to founding COOLA, Chris was a professional painter who exhibited his paintings in numerous respected galleries and was also a professional poker player ranked in the top 40 worldwide online.  Chris and his beautiful wife Adrienne Joy Birchby live in Bonsall, California with their four dogs and a cat.
