  Charlotte Palomino runs a company called Dew.

• 00:09

  Dew is a clinical skincare brand.

• 00:11

  She's also popular on TikTok and Instagram.

  I don't know, is Skinfluencer a bit too crass to say?

• 00:19

  How would you say it?

• 00:20

  Yes.

• 00:20

  No, I mean, I talk a lot about skincare on the internet.

• 00:24

  And so, yes, I try to influence people on purchasing decisions.

• 00:28

  In 2018, Charlotte was in a specialty skincare shop and she tried on a Japanese sunscreen.

• 00:34

  I remember putting it on my face.

• 00:37

  And being like, what is this?

• 00:39

  Biore UV Aqua Riche.

• 00:40

  It is an incredible texture.

• 00:42

  It has a beautiful, cooling, watery effect.

• 00:44

  And I remember I applied so much on my face.

• 00:48

  It was then that Charlotte learned that the United States just doesn't have great sunscreens.

• 00:52

  Unlike the rest of the world,

• 00:53

  the Food and Drug Administration hadn't approved a new sunscreen ingredient since the late 90s.

• 00:58

  And this means that the sunscreen here is gloopier and stickier, discouraging people to use it.
