Sunnaya
Smart hijabs with embedded UV sensors that track sun exposure throughout the day, paired with a papaya enzyme-based sunscreen line.

The Wow Moment
A user opens the app after a day outdoors and sees a precise sun exposure map with her personal UV 'story'—the app reveals she received 40% of daily UV exposure through her sheer black hijab between 2-3pm, exactly when she thought she was most protected, then serves up a personalized papaya sunscreen routine for tomorrow based on her skin tone and local forecast.
