As a brand we have requested the manufacturer to develop an exclusive product for PURITO, for which we received the formulation. So you can see there are a lot of things in the SPF test that could influence the result that weren’t actually specified before. There are little differences between the regions with things like how reproducible the test has to be, and how many volunteers you have to use, but in essence the test is the same.

While the tests themselves are standardised, volunteers are not. People with different types of skintones will volunteer and their skintone has to be judged correctly. Instead of having an expert classify the skin colour, this is measured by a machine; there’s a limit on the specific skin colours of volunteers and the average has to be within a certain limitSo when the labs were told in SPF value, they were more likely to get that expected result and so it looks like there’s some element of bias happening.

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.There is still the possibility that the sample sent to the European labs was a particularly bad batch, or that the sample sent for the original testing in the Korean lab was a particularly good batch. The samples for the INCI Decoder test were also put into a different plastic container and then sent off for testing, so there is a possibility there that the sunscreen reacted with the container. Someone did point out that it says yellow whereas the Purito sunscreen is actually closer to white. It’s really subjective what colour a sunscreen is, but that could potentially be a sign of an issue. Are Asian sunscreens dodgy?

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. Btw, Paula’s Choice is rumoured to ‘boost’ their SPF by adding tons of antioxidants to their formulas for a long time. First off, with the number of filters in the sunscreen I’ve seen some influencers confidently say that you need more filters for so called “redundancy”, that every sunscreen needs to have more than two filters to give you a high SPF. As mentioned, the people wearing sunscreen on a daily basis aren’t doing so for health reasons, but instead for vanity. And where vanity is concerned, UVA protection should be paramount. Butylene Glycol (Skin-Conditioning Agent), Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Ultraviolet Light Absorber), Glycerin (Humectant),A tl;dr: Independent test results show Purito’s sunscreens did not reach SPF level 50. The company has cut ties with the manufacturer and pulled its sunscreens from shelves completely. Moving forward, Purito plans to create new sunscreen products with a different manufacturer. These forthcoming sunscreens will be tested in Korea and overseas before hitting the shelves, and random batch tests will be conducted each year. I wish that this was found out a month ago! I only used Purito on weekdays during work and used a sports sunscreen when exercising. Last month I was gardening and used Purito because the weather was cool and I wasn’t going to be very active and sweaty. I was fried! I was confused because I had on a hat and was only outside for 30 minutes. The issue with Purito Centella sunscreen doesn’t highlight a fundamental issue with Korean beauty products or sunscreens. It highlights a fundamental problem with sunscreen in general. One thing I did notice in the INCI Decoder test was that the lab was told that the SPF would be around 20. I’m guessing when Purito did their test they told their lab that it would be higher, so this extra information might have influenced the results. General methodology issues

Klairs, the other Korean beauty brand that pulled their products after the issue with Purito sunscreen, said that their formula was similar, and their products were manufactured in the same labs. Klaris suspended the sale of their sunscreen. Getting a sunscreen from a country that regulates sunscreens as drugs or functional cosmetics (and regulates them pretty well) Many Korean sunscreens offer skincare benefits apart from their sun protection and light weight, such as hyaluronic acid to plump the skin or antioxidants that protect it from environmental pollution. The original formulation of Purito Centella sunscreen included a lavender scent, and they released their Purito unscented sunscreen.Consumer Reports, Consumer Reports finds that nearly half of sunscreens tested did not meet their SPF claims, 17 May 2016. As for what I’ll be doing with my sunscreens? I still use my Purito Unscented Sun because, well, it’s better than nothing. I recently finished my gifted tube of Keep Cool sun essence. My Klairs Mid-Day Blue Sunscreen is on standby. I don’t use it much these days because it’s better suited for when my skin is oily, which is not the case during another cold, dry winter. Newer filters tend to be more efficient over a wider range of wavelengths, so you don’t need as much to get higher protection and so you don’t necessarily hit that limit.
