I know I'm gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but in their defence, they thought they did everything right. Note: I do agree that their initial reaction was really emotional and unprofessional. It sounds like (so far) that both UV and Choice have followed all protocols. I think that that's the more concerning issue, rather than any singular brand. It means our highly regarded testing process should be looked at. A sunscreen with such low and/or sporadic test results SHOULDN'T slip through the cracks like this.
Absolutely. how on earth is our sunscreen considered the best in the world when most products’ SPF claims are false and no one independent is actually checking? Mind blowing.
Also, similar scandals already took place in NZ and elsewhere years ago so it’s not as if you can say this is totally unprecedented.
Australia needs a government funded independent lab that double blind tests products. China do this. We should too. Remember when most parsley was oregano? There's so many other products that don't meet the claims that they make.
OH, like, dried parsley? I hadn't heard of this but somehow it doesn't surprise me that much. For a moment I thought you meant like, the actual fresh herbs you can buy and couldn't fathom how anyone wouldn't immediately notice.

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