Manage episode 485595885 series 3285285
In this episode of No Filter with Kobo, Gabby opens an eye-opening conversation on a topic that's heating up—the full spectrum of solar rays. While most of us are familiar with the need to protect against UVB and UVA, there's more to the sun care story. This episode takes a deeper look at blue light (HEV) and infrared rays, and why formulating for comprehensive protection is more important than ever. Gabby is joined by returning guest Maitree Kanjilal, Applications Lab Manager and Principal Scientist at Kobo US, to help break down the science behind these lesser-known, yet highly impactful, rays.
Next, Elsie introduces a standout in sun care innovation: KSL-552A-EU High Naturality Max Zinc Stick, Super Clear, Dry-Touch – a mineral sunscreen stick crafted with performance and trend-driven ingredients. To explore the formulation strategy behind this product, we’re joined by Su-Anne Ng from the Kobo UK Applications Lab, who shares insights into its multifunctional design and development process.
Whether you're a formulator, brand owner, or just passionateabout cutting-edge sun protection, this episode is packed with valuable insights into the science and strategy driving next-generation SPF.
