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

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

Emprender y no morir en el intento: por qué el 90% de las empresas que se crean en España no llega a los tres años

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.
