About this deal

Cosmetic formulators know this really well, because sunscreens are one of the hardest things to formulate. It can take months to finish a sunscreen.

Purito Sunscreen Scandal and What Happened With the Purito Sunscreen Scandal and

So with all of these issues with in vivo SPF testing, that’s why I really think you do need two in vivo SPF tests to raise significant doubt over an SPF label claim. That’s what Judit says in the INCI Decoder blog post as well – if we only have one, then it’s really hard to say whether it’s just an issue with inter-lab reproducibility, or if there’s actually a problem with the sunscreen.

What makes Purito Special?

Along with the issues with the SPF test, there might be differences between different batches of sunscreen. The way that seems to work the best is by making special plates that mimic human skin, so when the sunscreen applies it dries on it just like it would on skin. So in this whole Purito conversation some people have recommended that Australian sunscreens are the way to go. I’m Australian and I’m very proud of how my small country is going in terms of sunscreen regulation and development and skin cancer research – but this still isn’t error-proof. Only just found out about Purito and wondering if it should be part of your routine? Here is everything you need to know about Purito & what makes it so special. What is Purito?

These issues can apply to the Purito test or the INCI Decoder test. Were they both really the Purito sunscreen? Did INCI Decoder accidentally get a fake tube? Did someone somewhere along the line accidentally use the wrong sunscreen? Like AMA Labs (allegedly) did someone just completely make up the numbers? It’s really hard to be sure without any extra testing. I’m really wondering about the waves this ‘scandal’ made, because, sunscreen ‘scandals’ happen. A lot. Every year. And nobody talks about that. I don’t say that to modify the seriousness of the whole thing, but to bring it into perspective. Sunscreen testing is rather susceptible to error. Hi!

What is Purito?

In a year that many would describe using some sort of pejorative, it’s only fitting that 2020 concluded with the Korean Sunscreen Controversy. If you were wondering what happened with Purito sunscreen, now you know. The brand earned tons of accolades, especially from influencers. However independent testing did reveal that while it offered sun protection, it didn’t have as much as was advertised. I think she has a good point with how Asian brands tend to produce different sunscreens with the same name, which leads to confusion for consumers (and IMO it erodes their reputation – I’m very disappointed that Shiseido does this) – it would be great if they didn’t do that! But I disagree with many of the points: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Active Agents), Ethylhexyl Triazone (Active Agents), Dicaprylyl Carbonate (Skin-Conditioning Agents), Titanium Dioxide (Active Agents), But if you do want to go beyond the SPF label, here are some of the things that point towards a more reliable sunscreen despite all of this uncertainty:

After 4.5 years, the daily sunscreen group showed no increased signs of aging. The control group (sunscreen use whenever they felt like it) had a 40% higher incidence for skin cancer during the trial. Over the following 15 years, the daily sunscreen group had a 73% lower incidence for skin cancer. And now? Sunscreen manufacturers usually get the label test on an early version of the sunscreen, and they might not re-test it with a proper in vivo test for many years.One thing I find helpful when I’m worrying too much about sunscreen – whether my sunscreen is reliable, whether I’m using it correctly – is remembering the results of the Nambour study.

There are also a few combinations of filters that work better together and so, combining them means that you can take advantage of that synergy. Concentrations of filters? But I am going to use the Sunscreen Optimizer to demonstrate a few things… The number of filters doesn’t tell you much
