Any recommendations for boosting it’s spf without adding a layer of another brand sunscreen? Powder suncreen? spf foundation? Reply And then there were the skeptics. Some people were wondering who INCIDecoder even was and why we should take their word as gospel. Few even brought up the fact that the founder of INCIDecoder is in the process of creating a new sunscreen, which made them question the blog’s intentions and potential bias. I hope you enjoyed this deep dive into some of the issues around SPF. This only really just skims the surface, but hopefully the complexity of the whole situation makes a lot more sense now! References All Korean beauty products are incredibly popular right now, including sunscreens. So what is it about these products that have people raving, and what did they love about Purito sunscreen?

Hi Michelle, did you see RatzillaCosme’s post on 3rd-party sunscreen testings in Asia? https://www.ratzillacosme.com/updates/2021/06/third-party-sunscreen-testings-some-thoughts/ 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. So these are all examples of inactive ingredients that can drastically change the SPF of a sunscreen. Comparing sunscreens from different markets The reality is that consumer groups frequently test all types of sunscreens, and in many cases, they have a lower SPF than their label indicates. For example, in 2016, 23 out of 60 tested sunscreens from the U.S. had less than half the SPF that was labeled. The main test used is the ISO 24444 SPF test – this was where you get human volunteers and burn them for science, and as mentioned before there are lots of issues with this like cost and harm.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 will do my best to update this post as more information becomes available — likely when Klairs and/or Purito share the results from their lab tests. PPD is based on different people who are exposed to UVA light. The test subjects are analyzed based on how long it takes them to tan. Then, the results are compared between protected and unprotected skin. Racz J, Purito Centella Unscented Sun tests as SPF 19 in two different European labs, INCI Decoder, 3 Dec 2020.

There are a lot of things in my suggested list that aren’t compatible with each other ,or aren’t compatible with your life, so there’s going to have to be some compromise.All of PURITO’s products are made with natural ingredients to ensure its gentle formulations are suitable even for sensitive skin. However, the Korean brand understands that everyone’s skin care needs are different, so it also offers products for skin that’s extra delicate. PURITO releases unscented versions of its bestselling formulas including the Centella Unscented Toner, Centella Unscented Serum, Centella Unscented Recovery Cream and Centella Unscented Eye Cream. The Centella Unscented Toner boasts all the benefits of the original Centella Green Level Calming Toner. The unscented version is free of essential oils, which are often used for natural fragrance and antioxidant benefits but can also irritate and damage sensitive skin. With its low acidity level, the unscented toner is safe to use for sensitive skin. Powered by cica extract, its alcohol-free formula effectively soothes, balances skin’s pH levels and strengthens the skin barrier. 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: So if we can’t tell what’s going on from just the active ingredients, what if we take the whole formula and test it with a machine? In Korea, they can be more innovative with their sunscreens because they have a faster approval process.

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.
This is a computer model that was developed by a sunscreen ingredient company, and there’s another famous one called the BASF Sunscreen Simulator. These tools don’t take into account everything in the final formulation, so if you put in percentages of filters in here you’re not going to get out the final SPF. Btw, Paula’s Choice is rumoured to ‘boost’ their SPF by adding tons of antioxidants to their formulas for a long time. Asian sunscreens, including Purito are more lightweight and better-used every day, including when they’re layered with makeup and other skincare products. As a brand we have requested the manufacturer to develop an exclusive product for PURITO, for which we received the formulation.
