A new revolution in the sunscreen market

Meet ROKA's Smart UV® filter, the breakthrought technology that will rock the sunscreen industry.

 

READY TO ROCK?

Current solar filters are insufficient and can generate side substances toxic for humans and the environment

INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION: DO NOT ADAPT TO VARIABLE UV RADIATION

They do not adapt to UV irradiation dose and undergo photodegradation, losing their protective effect. In addition, only a few UVA or broadband filters (UVA+UVB) are available in the market.

TOXICITY:
REACTIVE DEGRADATION COMPOUNDS

Unstable compounds: photodegratation generates hazardous by products which reactwith each other. Side effects: from mild allergies to endocrine disruption and carcinogenic consequences.

ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT

Impact on coral and marine biota. The by products of UV filters and other ingredients of solar protectors have also been found in aquatic elements.

OUR SOLUTIONS

ROKA has developed and patented a new generation of dose-dependent progressive UV filters that will be used to develop a new generation of sunscreen lotions with on-demand protection

IMPROVED SUN PROTECTION

ROKA Smart UV® offers customised protection, the UV radiation itself acts as a catalyst, generating the protection needed.
6x more efficient.
Broadband protection that adapts to irradiation dose, focused on UVA.
Photostable.

FOR HUMAN USE

Due to the encapsulation technique and photostable products, ROKA Smart UV® are not toxic to humans, and have no side effects or allergic problems.

RESPECTFUL WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

The release of the UV filter to the marine environment is reduced by more than 99%.
Sustainable production: local, circular economy, less materials and waste

La revolució de la protecció solar, de Catalunya al món

Roka Furadada ofereix fórmules sostenibles que fins ara no s’havien vist al mercat per lluitar contra el càncer de pell. Ens trobem a 150.000.000 quilòmetres del Sol. De tota manera, és igual que el nostre planeta es trobi més o menys a prop seu, que s’acosti o no, o que dins de 5.000 milions d’anys se l’empassi el Sol: aquest ens continua cremant. I és que aquest fet no és estrany. Tot i no poder lluitar contra el potencial de l’estel que sosté les nostres vides, sí que podem protegir-nos, però, els protectors solars que existeixen en l’actualitat contenen ingredients tòxics i són productes desactualitzats: el més recent al mercat és de fa 25 anys.
