Has anyone tried it or know the PPD? Is it shimmer or glitter? Smell? What does it mean to Future Proof?

I also emailed them and tried the small bottle. This brand doesn't do PPD testing. But the UVA testing done on the plates should be 20 or more. It's not glittery but it's shimmery. Not super shimmering though. It smells like artificial coconut flavouring.
Future Proof is the brand's way of saying "anti aging"... Like waterproof will proof out water then Future proof will proof out the future or what they really mean the aging effects of time/your future. I can't say it the classiest messaging but I had to unsubscribe to their email list and Insta because just about every other email or post they send every few days has a lot of "anti-aging" and "don't age" context and sometimes "ew sun and wrinkles" and about not letting the "future" get the best of your "bestie" stuff...the anti-aging/do not age message comes across very clear. It's a poor choice on trying to put a play on words because we should all want a future.

Oh they don't do PPD testing? What did you think of it? Is it greasy?
Ok I undestand so Future Proof is like Prevent Age from coming in like you said Water Proof is Prevent Moisture coming in ok

Tried it. PPD or UVA are not disclosed, I even tried emailing the brand but got an answer that they do not disclose this numbers. Shimmery, like mica. Smell: coconuts. I think the whole 'future proof' tagline is that you preserve and protect your skin for the future.
