In this episode, we spoke with Shontay Lundy, founder and CEO of Black Girl Sunscreen, about the inspiration behind building a sunscreen brand designed for people with melanin-rich skin and the broader challenges surrounding sun protection in skin of color. In our discussion, Lundy reflected on gaps in education, representation, product development, and clinical research, while sharing her perspective on how dermatologists, estheticians, brands, and industry leaders can work together to improve sunscreen adoption and skin health outcomes across diverse patient populations.
