| Bibliography: | received her doctorate in physics from Technische Universität Berlin, Germany in 2014. From 2008 to 2015, she was employed as a research assistant at the LMTB in Berlin, where she developed reflectance‐ and Raman‐spectroscopic methods for the analysis of skin and cervical tissue. From 2015 to 2017, she worked at the Charité, Center of Experimental and Applied Cutaneous Physiology where she was mainly concerned with the development of reflectance spectroscopy for the determination of sun protection factors. Since 2017 she works for the SPF project at Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH. Carina Reble is professor at the Center of Experimental and Applied Cutaneous Physiology of the Dept. of Dermatology, Venerology and Allergology, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, since April 2016. She studied chemistry at the Free University of Berlin and did her PhD in 1994 with a research stay at the University of Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada. Afterwards, she managed a laboratory for environmental analysis until 1999. Then she switched to the medical diagnostics field, worked at the Dermatology Department of Charité and the Laser‐ und Medizin‐Technologie Berlin, LMTB. In 2006, she finished her postgraduate studies of medical physics and since 2007 she has been assistant professor at Charité. Her research fields are optical and spectroscopic methods to determine skin physiological parameters with main focus on electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. has been working in the field of nitride based light emitters since 2008 and received his PhD in physics on the topic of nonpolar and semipolar emitters in 2012. He is author and co‐author of more than thirty scientific publications and several related book chapters and has regularly presented his work at international scientific conferences to the scientific community. His current focus of work is on nitride‐based UV‐LEDs which he develops as a researcher at the Joint Lab GaN Optoelectronics at the Ferdinand‐Braun‐Institut in Berlin, Germany. Since 2015, he is CEO and co‐founder of UVphotonics NT GmbH. Further authors: J. Lademann & S. Schanzer (Charité), G. Wiora & G. Khazaka (Courage + Khazaka), H.
