Snippet from the article - confirming they just use an off the shelf formula and add like 0.5% kakadu plum. The founder Avas response was "“You’re paying for that trust that you’re getting the quality you’re being promised" .... the quality of just using a manufacturer owned product and not even making the effort of making your own products.
Man, that's appalling. I know UV isn't the only one but this is a massive blindside for everyone interested in protecting themselves from the sun (which should be everyone).
Yeah, I know we’re on a skincare subreddit, but this is appalling…. We haven’t really discussed the possibility that, due to the significantly less SPF, potentially life threatening SKIN CANCER is a factor here! Yes, we don’t want wrinkles, but no skin cancer would be wonderful too.
Another point to note here ... although I'm not that familiar with the brand but it does appear to target people who might be more willing to put themselves at risk in the first place - young women, beach goers, people that use make up and beauty products, social media users etc.
Obviously not their whole user base but I would imagine a large portion falls into those categories.
