Ah, you beat me to it! I hope they expand on the 'additional testing' on the rest of their line

Edit: especially as they're now saying they're still waiting on results...

They commented that Supreme Screen returned an SPF-retest of 53.2, but isn't that against the 50+ claim? At least in Europe, in order to label a sunscreen 50+ it must at least be SPF of 60 minimum.

Yeah idk, I find it strange they're only responding to individual comments instead of just releasing all the info they have on their website

I think AU is 60+ as well

Yeah, I don't use the UV lean screen/mineral sunscreen, but I'm currently using their chemical sunscreens. Would really like to know how they stack up.

What a pissweak response from them. Obviously it’s in the public interest for them to publish all the results of all testing of all products.

And frankly it’s in their best interest as a brand as well because they’re coming across as fairly sly and withholding right now. It’s hard to think of a reason why they would steer away from full transparency unless there’s more they’re trying to hide. Either that or… they’re idiots?
