Happy Wednesday!
Today we released another episode of the GTFOOTS podcast & today’s guest is Katonya Breaux. I loved this conversation SO MUCH because we talked all things SPF.
Katonya spent the first 20 years of her career in the construction business & NEVER thought she would end up in the skincare industry. She grew up in Los Angeles & spent a lot of time outdoors — never wearing sunscreen & figuring that dark skin wasn’t as affected by the sun.
But after one visit to a dermatologist to have a mole checked out, she was told it was from sun damage. She went to buy sunscreen & was frustrated by the lack of clean sunscreen products for people of color. So she founded Unsun Cosmetics which provides clean, no-residue sun protection products. It’s so major.
She has played a HUGE role in educating people of color on the need to protect their skin from sun damage & skin cancer & she’s had a big influence on making sure the skincare industry is becoming more inclusive.
Be sure to listen to her full episode because she breaks down all things SPF/sunscreen — from micro level ingredients, to blue light & what effect it actually has on your skin, to how to incorporate SPF into your makeup routine.
