“There’s a huge problem where we optimize for beach days and forget about every other day,” said the CEO of Sundots, which infuses gummy candies with a fern extract that helps to protect skin cells against UV radiation.
They look like Dots, the cone-shaped gumdrops in multiple colors that for generations have stuck to people’s teeth.
