The Sun Doesn't Discriminate And The Answer Is A No White Residue Mineral Sunscreen for All Skin Tones by Katonya Breaux of Unsun Cosmetics
Manage episode 291917139 series 2430230
Katonya Breaux graces Hello Beauty to talk all sun protection, especially for melanin-rich skin. She is the mother to musician Frank Ocean, a meditator, who is wellness-focused, and the founder of Unsun Cosmetics.
Katonya grew up with the belief that black people did not need sun protection. She learned from a dermatologist that the moles that she would see from the older women from her family were not genetic, but the direct result of sun damage. Shocked by this, she started her journey in searching for a safe sunblock that did not leave a white cast on her skin. Since the market was lacking sunscreens that were inclusive with her skin tone, and one that was free of chemical actives, Katonya created Unsun Cosmetics.
Unsun Cosmetics is a natural skincare brand focusing in sun protection and beauty products for all skin shades and tones. It is clean and safe for the user and the environment.
In this episode, she clarifies that a higher SPF number does not mean a great higher amount of protection. The gap between an SPF 30 and SPF 50 are so small that using an SPF 30 is perfectly okay. To illustrate, SPF 30 gives 97% protection and SPF 50 gives 98% protection.
Trivia: Frank Ocean was the one who came up with the name "Unsun".
