  • In this episode of No Filter with Kobo, Gabby opens an eye-opening conversation on a topic that's heating up—the full spectrum of solar rays. While most of us are familiar with the need to protect against UVB and UVA, there's more to the sun care story. She is joined by returning guest Maitree Kanjilal, Applications Lab Manager and Principal Scientist at Kobo US, to help break down the science behind these lesser-known, yet highly impactful, rays.
