In the second part of Understanding Cosmetic Chemistry of A SkinDepth Convo, Metaxia and Francine are joined once again by cosmetic chemist, Dr. Gabriella Baki, to breakdown the science behind one of the most essential skincare products: sunscreen. From understanding how SPF is formulated to exploring its critical importance for ALL Fitzpatrick skin types, this conversation dives deep into the science behind shielding your skin.

We’ll explore the link between melanin and SPF, clear up common myths, and discuss why skin cancer rates are rising—even among those who think they don’t need sunscreen.

This episode will help you rethink your approach to sun protection.
