The following is a paid commercial by Black Girls Sunscreen.
The views expressed are those of the sponsor and not
iHeartMedia or this station. Welcome to Shamelessly Chante with your
host Shanta Lundy, Unreal ninety two to three.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm your host Shanta Lundy.
Today is a very special episode. Everyone is familiar with
the creative founder of black O Sunscreen. If you're not
aware of her, you might be living under a rock.
She's the advocate, the evangelist for Black Girth Sunscreen, pioneering
a sunscreen brand for people of color that doesn't leave
(00:43):
that ugly, white, hasty residue. The big boss lady. Let's
give it up to Chante Lundy, heymous Lunday, yo, yo yo.
What a real intro who wrote that? Okay, kudos to you.
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
As you were becoming CEO of Black Girl's Sunscreen. Who
was in your corner along your journey? Did you have
doubters over the course of years? I mean just people
sliding in the dms, just saying like, oh, you know
what if we called it like White Girls Sunscreen or yeah,
like you know if what's so special about black girls Sunscreen.
(01:23):
So I feel like those are doubters from afar and
truly don't understand, you know, the work that we're doing
and what it's also, let what it feels like to
be left out of a conversation, right, So so that
stuff doesn't bother me now. In terms of like who
was close to me in the beginning, I have a
few people, but they even questioned some things. I consider
(01:45):
myself a visionary and I don't have to see plans.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
All the way full out right. So like some people's
minds work where they need to see step one two, three, four, five, six,
the way my mind works is I just need to
see step one two three, and if we need to pivot,
that's what we do, right, And that's always been my
mantra since day one, Right day one.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I got a backtrack for a second. So you said
that some people ask you, why don't you call it
white person sunscreen?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, what's the answer to that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I try to not engage in that type of conversation.
So the exact verbiage is like, what if there was
something called white girls sunscreen? How would you feel? And
I saw it like that's okay, But even the other day,
I was looking at a couple of them. I don't
call them competitors, but other people in this space, and
(02:43):
their marketing strategy is clearly targeting a certain group of people.
You don't see diversity or a person of color in
their marketing. So they just don't have the courage to
say who it's actually for and who they're talking to.
So why does black Girls Sunscreen have to feel any
type of way of us being very clear on who
(03:05):
the product is for. Right That's how I feel, So
I choose not to engage with that type of energy.
You don't even belong in my presence nor my conversation.
Basically I heard that.

this right, because for a guy who does is really
about skincare, putting this on helps for me. So I
don't I don't even have to like mix all in
all of all of the skincare product on, you know,
with the with the white right, even though it has
(05:37):
no white cast.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
We didn't even ask, but.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Can I say one thing?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Sure? Okay? So I.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
You're like, I am your weight in with latinas in
so many ways.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, speak on it.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
This product has been life changing for me too, And
I think for me, I remember being really annoyed when
I would use sunscreen, and even for me, it would
leave a little bit of a cast. But I remember
when I put it on my husband. This is when
we were like dating, and I was like, what the
hell happened? And it was like all white on his
face and then my girl or sunscreen another one. Sorry, other,
(07:34):
I'm going to get to you. And then and then
I had kids. I have two girls, so they're mixed, right,
their multicultural. They're Latina, I'm black, and their skin is
a little bit more melanine than mine. And I just
remember when I put the sunscreen on them, I was like,
oh my god, this is like actually not okay. And
it was like I was very upset about it. Sure,
and then I go to Target and I saw your
(07:55):
product and I was like, hell, yeah, let me try this.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I tried it like on the spot there.
Speaker 9 (07:59):
I don't know if it was posed to and I
was like, and I bought.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I mean, I got the chargeback, but okay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, no.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
By I'm the kind of person like I will open
the water bottle as I'm shopping because I'm gonna buy it,
you know, like I'm gonna buy it. But I bought five.
There were five, I bought them all. And anytime that
I'm talking with friends, I'm like, have you tried Black
Girl Sunscreen? And a lot of Latinas I'll feel like
they're like, yeah, I've heard about it. I'm like, no,
you have to know about it because it's like game
changing for melanin period.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I appreciate you saying that you have to know about it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I had the opportunity to work with two incredible women
and they were alongside of me, uh during the I
would say, I wouldn't call it craziness, but the explosion
of BGS men and they both have intricate roles in
the development.
Speaker 10 (08:53):
I think sunscreens are different these days. I think definitely
made improvements since you know, back in the day where
people felt like they needed to put something greasy and
gloppy and just had to put up with it. Brands
are just held to a different standard today, and so
when you put on sunscreen, it just has to feel good.
It feels good on your skin, It gives you, you know,
skin benefits. It makes you feel good, look good, and so,
(09:15):
you know, when we're creating products, we're always thinking about,
you know, that user experience. Are they enjoying it? You know,
are they enjoying putting it on? Does it make them
look good? Does it make it feel good?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Does it make this this is all your requirements? Oh
yeah for purchasing?
Speaker 10 (09:27):
Oh yeah, definitely. And you know, I when I wear it,
I have to I have to feel that it makes
me like my skin feel good. I can't, you know,
feel like, oh that doesn't feel.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Good on my sunscreen? Every day?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Did?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (09:38):
I have to wear a base because I am sitting
in the car, I'm running around every day, yeah, every day,
and then if you know, if I'm out out out,
then I'll like definitely religiously reapply. But I try to
put a base on every day so that you know
I'm covered in case I'm like running around outside.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Wow, I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I don't know many people that were every day. I
think people like say to like please the conversation, but
the commitment I don't know if it's truly there every day.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
I think brands are making it easier for people to
be able to wear every day, and then the educare yeah,
and well the education is there too, because I wish
I had known, probably like ten years ago that sunscreen
would have saved my skin from maybe a couple of wrinkles,
a couple of dark spots. That would have really would
be like, oh, I could have saved myself some of that.
But honestly, like it just makes it like, you know,
(10:27):
that prevention because everybody wants to really like look the
best version of themselves, and sunscreen does that it just
helps reduce any of those skin problems that we all hate.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Why do you think you didn't know ten years ago
that sunscreen helped with fine lines.
Speaker 10 (10:40):
I don't think that the conversation was there. I think
it's way more top of mind across a lot of
beauty like enthusiasts and users and stuff, especially if you're
really into beauty products, then you know, like prevention is key, right,
because there's so many different ways in which you know,
people are like incorporating steps into the beauty routine and
sunscreen is a muss right of them. But before it
(11:01):
wasn't talked about like it is today.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Black Girl sent Scream.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
With our expansion, we are going into new segments, right,
So we have black Girl Sent Screen, we have BGS
Kids formulated for the young ones, and we have introduced
to the world BGS men. How did you feel going
into that launch?
Speaker 10 (11:18):
I was really excited because I think, like, you know,
we were living and breathing in it for so long,
you know, behind the scenes and doing our research and
like the whys and the needs, and we saw that
the need is there, and so when it finally launched,
like ah, and then you know, the waiting moment of
how it would be received. It's just you don't know, right,
(11:39):
and so you know, the conversation that we're seeing around
is like, oh, y BGS men, and so I think
there needs to be a lot of communication of the whys.
And it's interesting I think as people kind of start
to get educated about the whys, like men don't.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Is this your wise?
Speaker 10 (11:54):
Well, I think this is just the market statistics wise.
You know, men just have different skin that you know,
they have different needs. That's the reason why we use
ingredients to help with men's skin specifically. So there's lots
of things in the back end that when we're like
looking at it, where are the market needs? How do
people shop? So there was a reason for us to
create something specifically for men. And I think overall, when
(12:15):
you look at the statistic when men are, especially men
of color, the rate of them being diagnosed with like
skin cancer and skin disease is so much higher. It's
because they're not protecting themselves, right, And so we were
like there's a need there, that education needs to be there,
and so that's the reason why we created BGS.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Okay, A consolidated bio. A consolidated bio.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
My vision of relaxing on the beach with my black
Girl's sunscreen and a drink to get a nice tan,
a nice glow.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You're saying that's not a good thing.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I just need to get this clear.
Speaker 12 (14:34):
So I don't think your intent being out there should be.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Let me get it. Well, the intent is relaxing and
getting that tan with it. It's a fine balance, right.
Speaker 12 (14:46):
So I tell people all the time because they're like,
I want you to live your life like I don't
want anybody to run from the sun. I want you
to be able to live your life. I don't want
you like hovering over there under under a tree and
some shade, like I want you to be smart about it.
I always tell people like, enjoy responsibly. Make sure that
you're protected, Like if you're out there on the beach,
(15:07):
if you're in the sun, like.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Put it on.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
Reapply it, yes, reapply it if you're out. People always
are like, well, I work from home or I'm just
like running errands all day, Do I need to reapply
every two hours? Like nah, I'm not like a huge
stickler like that. But if you're on vacation and you're
sitting out there, your sweating, you're getting in and out
of water, you just want to keep reapplying.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It right and do your best. That's all I ask you.
Speaker 12 (15:30):
Don't have live your life, queen, don't don't let me
take that from you. But enjoy responsibly. And I don't
think that people enjoy responsibly. That's the thing. I really
want to get people to get Black people away from
the idea that they are invincible and that their natural
(15:52):
pigment protects them. So you're on average, on average, you're
melanin equates to maybe like between a SPF ten and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I was going to go a little bit lower, but
ten to fifteen, okay, I.
Speaker 12 (16:09):
Mean sometimes depending on how pigments, if you are right,
it could be lower. Yeah, I mean maybe I'm out
of four like avocado. I think just the avocado is
like four. Yeah, and so and so. I mean I
get that relative to other races, you have a little
bit more protection. But when we're when we're recommending sunscreens
to people, we re recommend at least SPF thirty, right,
(16:32):
because beyond that, it's really diminishing returns in terms of
how much extra protection you're getting, Like.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Could you come into what the answers about us? As so,
who do we have sitting next to us?

welcome to the show The Magnetic Liz Kennedy.
Speaker 15 (20:25):
So, how do you use suns being to keep you beautiful?
I am an SPF freak. I use a spray.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I use physical.
Speaker 15 (20:35):
I usually have like a little baby physical one, like
a little clear container in my purse that I can
just rub on my arms. And then I like to
use like a cooler spray as a setting spray.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Not to drop it on the brand. I know, I know,
jup that out.
Speaker 15 (20:51):
I always will keep whether it's yours or I'll just
put anything in like those little clear jars and then
I'll throw it in my purse.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
But I like physical and I like a spray.
Speaker 15 (21:01):
You'll probably if you see me out in the wild,
in the streets of Beverly Hills, you'll as see me
probably applying something at one point another Because SPF is
the number one, the number one aging beautifully product. I
hate the word anti aging. I actually think I look
better at my age now than I did in my twenties.
If you want to age beautifully, you need SPF. That's it,
(21:25):
more than any other product. If you want to age beautifully,
you need to use an SPF over retinal, over vitamin C.
I don't care what you're using. If you're not using SPF,
nothing else matters. And not plugging this brand because she's
my friend and because I actually like it. But nonsened,
(21:45):
you want to go for something nonsensed because it also
starts to compete with other fragrances. But scented SPF can
really irritate sensitive skin. Whether you're white, whether you're black,
whatever your background is. If you are sensitive, you don't
on fragrance in your SPF because it's competing with all
the other ingredients in your skincare.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
So Kimberly, what's happening that Black Girl sunscreen Chante.
Speaker 13 (22:09):
I just wanted to quickly talk about to make a
pop shades, the trio of beautiful reds that look good
on every skin tone. So we just want to remind
all our listeners out there that this product has the
same benefit. So SPF fifty to protect your lips, keep
them hydrated during these colder months when we need that hydration.
(22:33):
We want our lips looking plump and sexy and kissable.
And we have three amazing shades, so French Kiss, which
is your more vibrant red. We have red Wine, which
is like a deep bold red, and cherry noir, which
is I think more of a burgundy bread. So all
(22:53):
incredibly beautiful and all giftable.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I have an off topic question, but kind of on
topic question. Yes, do you think people want to kiss
lips with lipstick or lipgloss on them?
Speaker 13 (23:05):
I think that most men will say no because then
it ends up all over them. But then who doesn't
want to kiss?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I mean, really, what it means?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Come on, well, listen, I love making pop shades. The
colors are so bold and so fierce, just like Black
Girls sunscreen. So we are just really excited to offer
these three amazing shades named after Francis, one of our coals,
and also to be in a new category exactly. And
(23:38):
what that means is that, you know, we are solidified
as a sunscreen brand, but having lip gloss that has
color brings us into color cosmetics. Hey, now, Black Girls
Sunscreen growing, We're we grow in.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But what's happening in Black Girls sunscreens? Okay?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
One of our products that I feel doesn't get enough shine,
make it Hybrid SPS fifty, our hybrid formulated sunscreen providing
a combination of chemical and physical sunscreen. She's a bit
like me, doesn't like to be made a fuss over,
but knocks it out the park every single time.

Girl Sunscreen.
Speaker 13 (24:47):
Yes, So there are two things I want to mention. So, okay,

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Kimberly, I heard you actually make it so simple for
these men out here, So you actually gave them two
steps when for most it's three steps.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
So wash your face.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
So the third step is, well, wash your face, then
moisturize your face or anything in between there, and then
put on the sunscreen. Kimberly, what she's saying to you
men is wash your face and then put on your
BGS men, because it serves as a dual purpose with
that moisturizer in that SPF.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I love it.
Speaker 13 (25:53):
Dangeller geniuses over there, a black Girl Sun's Screen has
created the first of its kind sunshield upf fifty gloves.
I think that people forget that our hands need protection.
Right the skin there is very then it's very easy
to burn, and so with these new gloves it protects
(26:16):
the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Whether you're walking outside,
driving in your car, gardening, or even getting a gel
overlay at the nail salon, you need to be protecting
your skin and these gloves do it for you. So
think about it the next time you're out, whether you're
on a hike or going on a trip, be sure
(26:37):
to wear these gloves. They're very very soft. They're stretchy
nylon spandex fabric, so they fit virtually any size hands,
so they're universal. You can get them exclusively at black
Girlsunscreen dot com.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean when she said hot off the press, like
hot off the press, baby. This is one of my
favorite innovations. Black Girl's Sunscreen is literally like the first
to do something like this and to think about it
in this way. It's also our way of jumping into
the up F category. All of our products are you know,
(27:13):
skin based or like a lotion or continuous spray or
even you know, something for for the lips. And with
the gloves, it's saying, hey, let's let's let's address all
of the body parts that that we can. Right, we
have our our carriers out there holding that steering wheel
and their hands are are are getting you know, sunburned.
(27:36):
Maybe maybe not, but it's exposed to the sun. We
have our gardeners out there that are wearing gloves, well,
they can wear gloves that have the right fabric to
protect from from the sun. I even think about jet skiing.
You're out there and you're holding on those handlebars, you
can put on the the sential gloves. So anyway some
(27:58):
things that black Girls Sunscreen is super excited about. What
I will say is that this product requires a lot
more education because people aren't naturally thinking about how to
protect their hands from sunburn, and they just get sunburned
and it just hurts. So, like Kimberly said, exclusively only
at blackgirlsunscreen dot Com.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Check them out.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
The proceeding was a paid commercial by black Girl Sunscreen
The following is a paid commercial by Black Girls Sunscreen.
The views expressed are those of the sponsor and not
iHeartMedia or this station. Welcome to Shamelessly Chante with your
host Shanta Lundy, Unreal ninety two to three.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm your host Shanta Lundy.
Today is a very special episode. Everyone is familiar with
the creative founder of black O Sunscreen. If you're not
aware of her, you might be living under a rock.
She's the advocate, the evangelist for Black Girth Sunscreen, pioneering
a sunscreen brand for people of color that doesn't leave
(00:43):
that ugly, white, hasty residue. The big boss lady. Let's
give it up to Chante Lundy, heymous Lunday, yo, yo yo.
What a real intro who wrote that? Okay, kudos to you.
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
As you were becoming CEO of Black Girl's Sunscreen. Who
was in your corner along your journey? Did you have
doubters over the course of years? I mean just people
sliding in the dms, just saying like, oh, you know
what if we called it like White Girls Sunscreen or yeah,
like you know if what's so special about black girls Sunscreen.
(01:23):
So I feel like those are doubters from afar and
truly don't understand, you know, the work that we're doing
and what it's also, let what it feels like to
be left out of a conversation, right, So so that
stuff doesn't bother me now. In terms of like who
was close to me in the beginning, I have a
few people, but they even questioned some things. I consider
(01:45):
myself a visionary and I don't have to see plans.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
All the way full out right. So like some people's
minds work where they need to see step one two, three, four, five, six,
the way my mind works is I just need to
see step one two three, and if we need to pivot,
that's what we do, right, And that's always been my
mantra since day one, Right day one.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I got a backtrack for a second. So you said
that some people ask you, why don't you call it
white person sunscreen?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, what's the answer to that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I try to not engage in that type of conversation.
So the exact verbiage is like, what if there was
something called white girls sunscreen? How would you feel? And
I saw it like that's okay, But even the other day,
I was looking at a couple of them. I don't
call them competitors, but other people in this space, and
(02:43):
their marketing strategy is clearly targeting a certain group of people.
You don't see diversity or a person of color in
their marketing. So they just don't have the courage to
say who it's actually for and who they're talking to.
So why does black Girls Sunscreen have to feel any
type of way of us being very clear on who
(03:05):
the product is for. Right That's how I feel, So
I choose not to engage with that type of energy.
You don't even belong in my presence nor my conversation.
Basically I heard that.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
I was just padding on because like one thing about
Black girls subscreen, like even well not even just Black
Girls sunscreen, other products like you don't have to like
rub it in. You can just put it in there
and just put it in there, right, So I was
giving you that Beyonce Pat Pat Pat.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Do you think that's the proper way to put on sunscreen? Y'all?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
No?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Okay, Well you guys can enlighten me and school me
on some things. I mean, you need to rub that
sucker in chance talking.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
About how I keep this product in my pocket all
the time.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, go ahead, what do you have in your hands?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
So this is make it mad?
Speaker 8 (05:16):
I think your girl, Kimberly, I told her, I said,
I need to make sure that I got some of
this right, because for a guy who does is really
about skincare, putting this on helps for me. So I
don't I don't even have to like mix all in
all of all of the skincare product on, you know,
with the with the white right, even though it has
(05:37):
no white cast.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Once you rub it all in, this just make it easier.
I can keepse my pocket just.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You though, like that packaging goes with you everything.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
We didn't even ask, but.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Can I say one thing?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Sure? Okay? So I.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
You're like, I am your weight in with latinas in
so many ways.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, speak on it.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
This product has been life changing for me too, And
I think for me, I remember being really annoyed when
I would use sunscreen, and even for me, it would
leave a little bit of a cast. But I remember
when I put it on my husband. This is when
we were like dating, and I was like, what the
hell happened? And it was like all white on his
face and then my girl or sunscreen another one. Sorry, other,
(07:34):
I'm going to get to you. And then and then
I had kids. I have two girls, so they're mixed, right,
their multicultural. They're Latina, I'm black, and their skin is
a little bit more melanine than mine. And I just
remember when I put the sunscreen on them, I was like,
oh my god, this is like actually not okay. And
it was like I was very upset about it. Sure,
and then I go to Target and I saw your
(07:55):
product and I was like, hell, yeah, let me try this.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I tried it like on the spot there.
Speaker 9 (07:59):
I don't know if it was posed to and I
was like, and I bought.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I mean, I got the chargeback, but okay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, no.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
By I'm the kind of person like I will open
the water bottle as I'm shopping because I'm gonna buy it,
you know, like I'm gonna buy it. But I bought five.
There were five, I bought them all. And anytime that
I'm talking with friends, I'm like, have you tried Black
Girl Sunscreen? And a lot of Latinas I'll feel like
they're like, yeah, I've heard about it. I'm like, no,
you have to know about it because it's like game
changing for melanin period.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I appreciate you saying that you have to know about it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I had the opportunity to work with two incredible women
and they were alongside of me, uh during the I
would say, I wouldn't call it craziness, but the explosion
of BGS men and they both have intricate roles in
the development.
Speaker 10 (08:53):
I think sunscreens are different these days. I think definitely
made improvements since you know, back in the day where
people felt like they needed to put something greasy and
gloppy and just had to put up with it. Brands
are just held to a different standard today, and so
when you put on sunscreen, it just has to feel good.
It feels good on your skin, It gives you, you know,
skin benefits. It makes you feel good, look good, and so,
(09:15):
you know, when we're creating products, we're always thinking about,
you know, that user experience. Are they enjoying it? You know,
are they enjoying putting it on? Does it make them
look good? Does it make it feel good?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Does it make this this is all your requirements? Oh
yeah for purchasing?
Speaker 10 (09:27):
Oh yeah, definitely. And you know, I when I wear it,
I have to I have to feel that it makes
me like my skin feel good. I can't, you know,
feel like, oh that doesn't feel.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Good on my sunscreen? Every day?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Did?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (09:38):
I have to wear a base because I am sitting
in the car, I'm running around every day, yeah, every day,
and then if you know, if I'm out out out,
then I'll like definitely religiously reapply. But I try to
put a base on every day so that you know
I'm covered in case I'm like running around outside.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Wow, I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I don't know many people that were every day. I
think people like say to like please the conversation, but
the commitment I don't know if it's truly there every day.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
I think brands are making it easier for people to
be able to wear every day, and then the educare yeah,
and well the education is there too, because I wish
I had known, probably like ten years ago that sunscreen
would have saved my skin from maybe a couple of wrinkles,
a couple of dark spots. That would have really would
be like, oh, I could have saved myself some of that.
But honestly, like it just makes it like, you know,
(10:27):
that prevention because everybody wants to really like look the
best version of themselves, and sunscreen does that it just
helps reduce any of those skin problems that we all hate.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Why do you think you didn't know ten years ago
that sunscreen helped with fine lines.
Speaker 10 (10:40):
I don't think that the conversation was there. I think
it's way more top of mind across a lot of
beauty like enthusiasts and users and stuff, especially if you're
really into beauty products, then you know, like prevention is key, right,
because there's so many different ways in which you know,
people are like incorporating steps into the beauty routine and
sunscreen is a muss right of them. But before it
(11:01):
wasn't talked about like it is today.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Black Girl sent Scream.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
With our expansion, we are going into new segments, right,
So we have black Girl Sent Screen, we have BGS
Kids formulated for the young ones, and we have introduced
to the world BGS men. How did you feel going
into that launch?
Speaker 10 (11:18):
I was really excited because I think, like, you know,
we were living and breathing in it for so long,
you know, behind the scenes and doing our research and
like the whys and the needs, and we saw that
the need is there, and so when it finally launched,
like ah, and then you know, the waiting moment of
how it would be received. It's just you don't know, right,
(11:39):
and so you know, the conversation that we're seeing around
is like, oh, y BGS men, and so I think
there needs to be a lot of communication of the whys.
And it's interesting I think as people kind of start
to get educated about the whys, like men don't.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Is this your wise?
Speaker 10 (11:54):
Well, I think this is just the market statistics wise.
You know, men just have different skin that you know,
they have different needs. That's the reason why we use
ingredients to help with men's skin specifically. So there's lots
of things in the back end that when we're like
looking at it, where are the market needs? How do
people shop? So there was a reason for us to
create something specifically for men. And I think overall, when
(12:15):
you look at the statistic when men are, especially men
of color, the rate of them being diagnosed with like
skin cancer and skin disease is so much higher. It's
because they're not protecting themselves, right, And so we were
like there's a need there, that education needs to be there,
and so that's the reason why we created BGS.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Green Black don't crack.
Speaker 11 (12:35):

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Please welcome Doctor SHAWNA. Higgins. Okay, we're gonna give some
snaps for that one.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Okay, A consolidated bio. A consolidated bio.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
My vision of relaxing on the beach with my black
Girl's sunscreen and a drink to get a nice tan,
a nice glow.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You're saying that's not a good thing.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I just need to get this clear.
Speaker 12 (14:34):
So I don't think your intent being out there should be.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Let me get it. Well, the intent is relaxing and
getting that tan with it. It's a fine balance, right.
Speaker 12 (14:46):
So I tell people all the time because they're like,
I want you to live your life like I don't
want anybody to run from the sun. I want you
to be able to live your life. I don't want
you like hovering over there under under a tree and
some shade, like I want you to be smart about it.
I always tell people like, enjoy responsibly. Make sure that
you're protected, Like if you're out there on the beach,
(15:07):
if you're in the sun, like.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Put it on.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
Reapply it, yes, reapply it if you're out. People always
are like, well, I work from home or I'm just
like running errands all day, Do I need to reapply
every two hours? Like nah, I'm not like a huge
stickler like that. But if you're on vacation and you're
sitting out there, your sweating, you're getting in and out
of water, you just want to keep reapplying.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It right and do your best. That's all I ask you.
Speaker 12 (15:30):
Don't have live your life, queen, don't don't let me
take that from you. But enjoy responsibly. And I don't
think that people enjoy responsibly. That's the thing. I really
want to get people to get Black people away from
the idea that they are invincible and that their natural
(15:52):
pigment protects them. So you're on average, on average, you're
melanin equates to maybe like between a SPF ten and fifteen.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I was going to go a little bit lower, but
ten to fifteen, okay, I.
Speaker 12 (16:09):
Mean sometimes depending on how pigments, if you are right,
it could be lower. Yeah, I mean maybe I'm out
of four like avocado. I think just the avocado is
like four. Yeah, and so and so. I mean I
get that relative to other races, you have a little
bit more protection. But when we're when we're recommending sunscreens
to people, we re recommend at least SPF thirty, right,
(16:32):
because beyond that, it's really diminishing returns in terms of
how much extra protection you're getting, Like.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Could you come into what the answers about us? As so,
who do we have sitting next to us?

welcome to the show The Magnetic Liz Kennedy.
Speaker 15 (20:25):
So, how do you use suns being to keep you beautiful?
I am an SPF freak. I use a spray.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I use physical.
Speaker 15 (20:35):
I usually have like a little baby physical one, like
a little clear container in my purse that I can
just rub on my arms. And then I like to
use like a cooler spray as a setting spray.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Not to drop it on the brand. I know, I know,
jup that out.
Speaker 15 (20:51):
I always will keep whether it's yours or I'll just
put anything in like those little clear jars and then
I'll throw it in my purse.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
But I like physical and I like a spray.
Speaker 15 (21:01):
You'll probably if you see me out in the wild,
in the streets of Beverly Hills, you'll as see me
probably applying something at one point another Because SPF is
the number one, the number one aging beautifully product. I
hate the word anti aging. I actually think I look
better at my age now than I did in my twenties.
If you want to age beautifully, you need SPF. That's it,
(21:25):
more than any other product. If you want to age beautifully,
you need to use an SPF over retinal, over vitamin C.
I don't care what you're using. If you're not using SPF,
nothing else matters. And not plugging this brand because she's
my friend and because I actually like it. But nonsened,
(21:45):
you want to go for something nonsensed because it also
starts to compete with other fragrances. But scented SPF can
really irritate sensitive skin. Whether you're white, whether you're black,
whatever your background is. If you are sensitive, you don't
on fragrance in your SPF because it's competing with all
the other ingredients in your skincare.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
So Kimberly, what's happening that Black Girl sunscreen Chante.
Speaker 13 (22:09):
I just wanted to quickly talk about to make a
pop shades, the trio of beautiful reds that look good
on every skin tone. So we just want to remind
all our listeners out there that this product has the
same benefit. So SPF fifty to protect your lips, keep
them hydrated during these colder months when we need that hydration.
(22:33):
We want our lips looking plump and sexy and kissable.
And we have three amazing shades, so French Kiss, which
is your more vibrant red. We have red Wine, which
is like a deep bold red, and cherry noir, which
is I think more of a burgundy bread. So all
(22:53):
incredibly beautiful and all giftable.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I have an off topic question, but kind of on
topic question. Yes, do you think people want to kiss
lips with lipstick or lipgloss on them?
Speaker 13 (23:05):
I think that most men will say no because then
it ends up all over them. But then who doesn't
want to kiss?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I mean, really, what it means?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Come on, well, listen, I love making pop shades. The
colors are so bold and so fierce, just like Black
Girls sunscreen. So we are just really excited to offer
these three amazing shades named after Francis, one of our coals,
and also to be in a new category exactly. And
(23:38):
what that means is that, you know, we are solidified
as a sunscreen brand, but having lip gloss that has
color brings us into color cosmetics. Hey, now, Black Girls
Sunscreen growing, We're we grow in.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But what's happening in Black Girls sunscreens? Okay?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
One of our products that I feel doesn't get enough shine,
make it Hybrid SPS fifty, our hybrid formulated sunscreen providing
a combination of chemical and physical sunscreen. She's a bit
like me, doesn't like to be made a fuss over,
but knocks it out the park every single time.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Love the line.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Providing a light yet lovely scent of lavender. Make It
Hybrid is infused with our signature ingredients of alo avocado
and shade butter. She's guaranteed to leave you moisturized and
protect it from the sun's rays. And yes, we know
it's wintertime, blah blah blah, the sun's still out even
through the clouds, so protect yourself. Visit our website or
(24:38):
go to your favorite retailer.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
And get you some. So kimberly, what's happening at Black
Girl Sunscreen.
Speaker 13 (24:47):
Yes, So there are two things I want to mention. So, okay,
reminder all you men out there, so BGS men launched.
It's really really important men that you keep your skin
hydrated and moisturized. So we're talking two steps. It's really easy,
wash your face and put on your BDS men. Okay,
moisturizes and it protects you obviously from that. You know
(25:11):
the effects of the sun, the rays of the sun.
So available on Amazon as well as black Girl Sunscreen
dot Com.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Kimberly, I heard you actually make it so simple for
these men out here, So you actually gave them two
steps when for most it's three steps.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
So wash your face.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
So the third step is, well, wash your face, then
moisturize your face or anything in between there, and then
put on the sunscreen. Kimberly, what she's saying to you
men is wash your face and then put on your
BGS men, because it serves as a dual purpose with
that moisturizer in that SPF.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I love it.
Speaker 13 (25:53):
Dangeller geniuses over there, a black Girl Sun's Screen has
created the first of its kind sunshield upf fifty gloves.
I think that people forget that our hands need protection.
Right the skin there is very then it's very easy
to burn, and so with these new gloves it protects
(26:16):
the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Whether you're walking outside,
driving in your car, gardening, or even getting a gel
overlay at the nail salon, you need to be protecting
your skin and these gloves do it for you. So
think about it the next time you're out, whether you're
on a hike or going on a trip, be sure
(26:37):
to wear these gloves. They're very very soft. They're stretchy
nylon spandex fabric, so they fit virtually any size hands,
so they're universal. You can get them exclusively at black
Girlsunscreen dot com.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean when she said hot off the press, like
hot off the press, baby. This is one of my
favorite innovations. Black Girl's Sunscreen is literally like the first
to do something like this and to think about it
in this way. It's also our way of jumping into
the up F category. All of our products are you know,
(27:13):
skin based or like a lotion or continuous spray or
even you know, something for for the lips. And with
the gloves, it's saying, hey, let's let's let's address all
of the body parts that that we can. Right, we
have our our carriers out there holding that steering wheel
and their hands are are are getting you know, sunburned.
(27:36):
Maybe maybe not, but it's exposed to the sun. We
have our gardeners out there that are wearing gloves, well,
they can wear gloves that have the right fabric to
protect from from the sun. I even think about jet skiing.
You're out there and you're holding on those handlebars, you
can put on the the sential gloves. So anyway some
(27:58):
things that black Girls Sunscreen is super excited about. What
I will say is that this product requires a lot
more education because people aren't naturally thinking about how to
protect their hands from sunburn, and they just get sunburned
and it just hurts. So, like Kimberly said, exclusively only
at blackgirlsunscreen dot Com.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Check them out.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
The proceeding was a paid commercial by black Girl Sunscreen
