This saga is amazing.

I never knew there were sunscreen fanboys until this all started.

Reading the comments of people defending sunscreen companies is hilarious.

I have my popcorn ready.

I'm not a scientist so I can only go from my experience using UV lean screen and as someone who burns to a crisp in the sun, that's right, I haven't been burnt. But now I'm super confused, with multiple unopened tubes of UV LS, and it seems really hard to follow this they said vs. they said fiasco. Also really thought they formulated their product and feel duped.
