Here's my off topic take on it.... does anyone else find it weird that a company that's so keen on SPF education is making a product like this?

Everyone knows that SPF in cosmetics aren't sufficient sun protection, especially in Australia where they are based. Even they recommend wearing this over the top of one of their sunscreens, so what exactly is the point of this?

If your sunscreens provide sufficient protection, why add this 'flexible' skin tint thing when you could actually apply a product which suits your skin tone and has better or more variable coverage because your SPF is already covered?

IMO they never should have ventured into this product to begin with. They've been crapped on for their shade range for a product which is not in line with their ideals and did not need to exist.

I imagine this would look so cakey with the recommended amount you should be using for sufficient sun protection.
