☀️High Naturality Max Zinc Stick, Ultra Dry-Touch, Sheer
☀️Mineral Fluid Sunscreen
☀️O/W Hybrid Sunscreen SPF 35


From minimizing white cast to achieving sprayability andbalancing powder vs. dispersion inputs, this episode is a full breakdown in how sensoriality and science converge to drive sunscreen innovation.


Whether you're formulating, trend-watching, or just obsessed with finding the perfect finish, this episode shows how today’s sunscreens are designed to feel as good as they perform.

67. No Shade Left Behind

Together, they unpack what it means to formulate inclusive sun care, break down common myths about sun protection for deeper skin tones, and explore ingredient strategies for achieving both high performance and universal wearability.


Later, Elsie highlights June’s Formula of the Month: KSL-560-AP Double-Wear Tinted Sunscreen—a hybrid SPF 50+ formula offering broad-spectrum protection and complexion-matching coverage. With insights from Wannaporn “Noey” Prakobkich, Applications Chemist at Kobo Asia-Pacific, listeners will get a behind-the-scenes look at how this 3-shade innovation meets real-world skin tone needs with a skin-first, science-forward approach.

Mineral sunscreens utilize zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide to physically deflect UV rays, forming a protective barrier on the skin.
