What is ROKA Smart UV® technology?

The new photo-adaptive technology that protects skin from UV light. 

ROKA Smart UV® active ingredients absorb UV radiation which transforms them into new molecular structures that keep absorbing at a different UV range and provide high levels of long-lasting photoprotection.

Our ROKA Smart UV® products stay dormant until they receive sunlight, which allows them to offer a tailored photoprotection that adapts to environmental conditions.

 

Key advantages

Mechanism of action/How it works

ROKA Smart UV® active ingredients absorb UVB radiation (290-320 nm) undergoing a photochemical transformation (photoactivation) to become new molecular structures that keep absorbing at different wavelengths. Our molecules provide protection at various UV regions.

  1. 01 ROKA Smart UV® PvB 360 becomes a UVA absorber (320 to 400 nm)
  2. 02 ROKA Smart UV® ITM 330+ becomes a UVB & UVA-II absorber (290 to 340 nm)

Key advantages

  • Contrary to common UV filters, ROKA Smart UV® active ingredients do not degrade when exposed to sunlight.
  • Our products absorb in the UVA region in a dose-dependent way, boosting the UVA-PF of sunscreen formulas.
  • They adapt to light conditions, protecting when needed and lasting longer. The more sun exposure, the more protection.
