The Founder's Story
— Conor Heun, Founder and 10th Planet Black Belt
"After spending a lifetime on the mats, I knew what I needed to take to combat skin infections and keep myself healthy but I was tired of buying multiple products to meet my needs. Secondly, I was tired of my students missing training due to easily preventable skin issues and I didn't want them to have to spend hundreds of dollars on multiple products at the store. I convinced my wife to quit her job at GNC to create a once daily product that we could sell in my gym to meet the needs of all my students, improving their immune health and keeping them in class, training hard, and winning championships."
—Rachel Heun, Founder, Nutrition Scientist and dietary supplement formulator
"I had been working in the dietary supplement industry feeling like a hamster on a wheel. As long as I can remember I have been passionate about nutrition and supplements and loved using my creativity to make new ones. Working in large corporations made me feel like I had no autonomy over what I was creating. When my husband came to me with his idea to help his athletes, it was a no brainer for me. I left the corporate world and went to work. After months of diligent research, multiple formulations, and rigorous testing, Skin Shield Pro was born. We created a product that isn't just another supplement—it's a science-backed, athlete-tested solution designed to protect, strengthen, and support skin resilience for those who push their limits every day."
