Meet Roka's Smart UV filter, the breakthrought technology that will rock the sunscreen industry.
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
IMPROVED SUN PROTECTION
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, 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

Internet lo tiene todo, y además no tiene piedad. Así que no es de extrañar que el mundo digital, que alumbró una nueva forma de pensar el emprendimiento y los negocios —con sus páginas web y aplicaciones, con ese lenguaje plagado de anglicismos y metáforas propias, con esa búsqueda incesante de los problemas y necesidades del mercado—, haya ideado también un cementerio para ellos. De hecho, este camposanto, una plataforma llamada Failory detrás de la cual hay un joven argentino, es a su vez una start-up, o empresa innovadora emergente, que se dedica a catalogar los proyectos fallidos, identificar cuáles fueron los errores en cada caso y presentar estos informes forenses como contenido.
