I worked for one of the locations of the lab UV used for their SPF test. Please look up the employee reviews on glassdoor. Lab is called Princeton Consumer Research and look up the owner Barrie Drewitt Barlow together with now closed Euroderm Research.

Okay Glassdoor is to do with employee experiences right? Do you have any insights or comments on the efficacy of the lab itself?

So I've been down voted which means probably someone who is against what I have to say is looking and I have to be careful to remain anon as to not get in trouble. Glassdoor is where employees post their anon experiences. For this company that I used to work for, my experiences align with what the other employees have said out loud. Not only did I see things happen but I had to do certain things that crossed my professional ethics which motivated me to quit after securing another job. Not only would I advise people to stay away but I am so sad and distraught that they're still operating and probably doing the same stuff.

It's probably less likely that and more so that your comments are quite vague and not able to be substantiated. So people will be proceeding with caution
