In this episode of No Filter with Kobo, Gabby divesinto a topic that's reshaping the sun care conversation—diversity and inclusion in SPF formulation. From tinted sunscreens to the persistent challenges of white cast, cosmetic scientists are being called to rethink how protection looks and feels on every skin tone.

Joining the discussion is Cheres Chambers, Kobo’s SalesManager for North America and head of the Diversity and Inclusion Team. 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.
