In December 2020, Neora was featured in Essence. In the article, Co-Founder and CEO spoke to the importance of wearing a sunscreen that protects you against blue light.
“It is a common misconception that if you are not outside then you do not need to wear sunscreen,” Amber Olson Rourke, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Co-founder for Neora told ESSENCE. “With more time being spent indoors and consumers spending 11+ hours per day watching, reading, listening, or interacting with everyday devices, many do not realize that the blue light emitted from these devices penetrates skin even deeper than UVA/UVB rays.”
When selecting a sunscreen, “it is important to research which products protect you from blue light and UVA/UVB rays,” said Rourke.
Sunscreens are known for protecting the skin from ultra-violet light, but new formulas like the ones we’ve rounded up in the gallery below, are also aimed at providing blue light protection and now is the time to stock up.
