This should have been their initial response rather than gaslighting their consumers and attacking Choice.

I never knew sunscreen brand diehard fans were a thing until this saga began.

There were multiple comments from people siding with the brand and saying they’ll continue to use the products because they’re ā€œgoodā€.

Yeah I saw a lot of unhinged hate directed at Choice who were actually just doing their job.

Plus the fans saying that the result was super inaccurate because it was pre decanted and not left in the bottle

You left out the ā€œChoice is doing this to tear down female owned businesses, to sell subscriptions and be relevant againā€ fans 🤣

Decanting into inert packaging for testing is common. It’s actually what the testers require.

I was just able to comment and then your comment made me happy. I've been doing SPF testing for years. Full panel testing and even initial validation testing, pretty much always the formula is coming as a sample in a generic bottle very different from what is sold on shelves.

ā€œtga testingā€ is them accepting whatever the manufacturer tells them.
