A FEW NOTES * Purito Centella Unscented Sunscreen has also now been tested at SPF 28.4: instagram.com/p/CI5zU-xnWHX/ * Judit from INCI Decoder (the person who ordered the two in vivo tests) has shared this video and said it was "the best deep dive" and well explained (thanks Judit!). A few cosmetic chemists and industry people have also said it was a good summary of the situation. If you disagree and you have the same or greater knowledge of sunscreen formulation and regulations than these people, please leave a comment outlining your reasoning and if other experts agree, I'm happy to update my content accordingly. * For those of you who are assuming European sunscreens don't have these issues - I just... forgot to mention them in the video 😅(the info is harder for me to find because it's often not in English and I didn't realise people would jump to this conclusion): www.euroconsumers.org/news/the-sunscreen-scandal-euroconsumers-meets-with-the-commission www.world-today-news.com/test-achats-denounces-7-ineffective-sunscreens/ For more info about the sunscreens in your country/region, have a search for any tests done by your local ICRT organisations: www.international-testing.org/members.html * Yes I've been sponsored by Purito to write blog reviews on their products in the past, including this sunscreen. There is no ongoing relationship with them. I am also currently nearing the end of a sponsorship with Neutrogena, which is why I got to go on a Zoom call with their sunscreen R&D scientists and ask them random questions! Someone from La Roche-Posay has told me that they talk about my posts as examples of good science communication, but they've never approached me to do any paid work... I guess they already have Lab Muffin at home 😂 Still respect their approach to sun protection though!

@Jasleen not to mention, Purito (on their social media) advertised this sunscreen as SPF 84!!!! Also, they KEPT it on the market and sold it to millions of people after they had already started suspecting it wasn't performing at SPF 50+, due to COUNTLESS consumers reporting burning, tanning and worsening of pigmentation. That's the reason why they were in the process of having it tested. I feel like so many people are missing the point. The point is not that SPF 19 is "better than nothing," the point is not that other brands have tested below advertised SPF, the point is that Purito was grossly negligent.
@florance3333 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video. Im asian, living in a tropical climate(Malaysia) and I agree with you completely on the type of sunscreens used. Asian formulated sunscreen is meant to be used for daily wear. Going to school/work where we are indoors but still occasionally exposed to sunlight while we are transitioning from one place to another. It is not meant to be waterproof or sweatproof. If we want sunscreen for prolonged outdoor wear, we will switch to the typical thick physical sunscreen like Neutrogena or Banana Boat meant for body n face. I use umbrella with uv shield during a hot day and you wont catch me basking under the hot sun or tanning. We love our air conditioned rooms. 🤣 but since uv lights passes through windows, we still need uv protection. If needed, i will reapply or use spf powder over makeup. Btw, my favourite sunscreens are from Skinaqua and Innisfree! :)

We are too uncomfortable with not knowing everything.

Some at home UVA performance tests (for results scroll down): I got a UVA meter (calibration and peak sensitivity is at 375 nm which is fairly close to 400 nm, the limit of the UVA spectrum that is the most difficult to attenuate) and set up home tests to test all the sunscreens, sun-masks, UPF fabrics, sunglasses/glasses, and hats i have on hand. This includes some old Purito sunscreens I ordered before the whole scandal. The Purito green level sunscreen actually worked satisfactorily based on my UVA meter test. Purito Comfy water (the mineral one) was the poor performer. Despite the limitations, difficulties and inherent inaccuracies of home tests, I am sharing some anecdotal/non-professional-but-best-attempted test results that I found encouraging. THE FOLLOWING RESULTS ONLY INDICATE INSTANTANEOUS RESULTS ON CELLOPHANE/FOOD WRAP and do not represent performance over time and with product interaction on real human skin. The results are done over multiple tries until the numbers become consistently credible, in an attempt to weed out excessive varying conditions such as distance from source, angle, area exposed, application thickness, and source intensity etc. -Purito Green Level: attenuated 95% UVA with just with a light, completely transparent application -Biore UV Aqua: attenuated 98% UVA with just with a light, completely transparent application -Purito Comfy water (mineral) attenuated 50% UVA with a relatively thick application. This is not good. -Several ZO-only sunscreens (Olay, zinc lipbalms, Ava Isa, 7%-23% ZO) ranged from 50% to 70% UVA attenuation for normal application amounts. Higher ZO concentration does NOT automatically translate to higher UVA attenuation. In fact Olay at 7% ZO outperformed several 20% ZO natural formulas. ZO also has a limit to its performance. Even an ultra thick completely opaque cake of it like maybe 1.5-2mm thick (if you wear this on your face you will literally look like a beginner geisha who doesn't know what she's doing or a clown or a baseball player) has a performance limit of 83 to 90% UVA. When you cake it on, the ZO concentration becomes important. 7% ZO maxes out at 83% whereas 20+% ZO can go up to 90%% (again this is when you cake it on impossibly thick). -Titanium Dioxide+Zinc Oxide mixtures (includes Aveeno ultra light and Live Clean baby) are the better UVA performers among mineral-only formulations (contrary to everything I was taught by the entire world over the last 20 years), these outperform ZO-only formulas and can at least get closer to 95+% UVA attenuation, but again you will need an "unwearably" thick layer to get there. Because of how intense sunlight and UV rays can get, I noticed that even minor differences in % UVA attenuation can actually make a big difference in terms of actual exposure amount in sensitive individuals. For example 95% vs 93% can actually translate to a big difference microWatts/cm^2 wise. So don't underestimate all the digits after the period. 99.999% is definitely different, and better, from 99%, in UVA language! In fact, 100% is best! Lastely, Purito's low third-party lab SPF result that caused a scandal is a UVB performance metric and is more indicative of the performance duration (how long you can go without getting burned..?). By my home UVA tests (on food wrap), I know at least it offers decent UVA protection "on paper". Maybe when you wear it for a few minutes the chemicals get oxidized/metabolized really fast or something. If you have read this far kudos to you.

It is not. This is a very complex issue that few people truly understand. I find it disturbing to see so many people, that clearly do not understand the issues that exist with spf testing or the history of this of problem (that has happened to so many companies all over the world) are now declaring online ridiculous assumptions like, that all Korean sunscreens can suddenly no longer be trusted and that sunscreens from a certain country are the only one's that should be trusted. I wish people would educate themselves about the complex issues with spf testing before they post their inaccurate assumptions they've jumped to and their ridiculous statements advising readers about which sunscreens are suddenly safe to use and which ones suddenly are not safe to use.

Not sure where the outbreak/recall is happening at the moment, but Hepatitis A contamination happens worldwide, usually to water. It is more common in some places than others, which is why Hep A vaccines are indicated for travel to certain countries. Freezing doesn't kill Hep A, so if a berry is contaminated by Hep A before being frozen and then is used raw by a consumer, like in a smoothie, there is a possibility of contracting Hep A.

I mean, maybe my takeaway from this video is wrong but after watching this video I still feel like people with paler skin should still mostly avoid Asian sunscreens, not because they're "not trustworthy" but because they're not meant for them. It's like zinc oxide sunscreen and POC, there are some exceptions but in general it's just not really meant to be. When euro and aus sunscreen failed SPF tests, they still mostly seemed to get between SPF 30 to SPF 45, which is low but not quite as low as the SPF 15 to SPF 25 that seemed a lot more common w/Asian sunscreens. This isn't really the Asian manufacturer's fault because, as you pointed out, they were tested on the type III skin that they were meant for. They really couldn't expect that their sunscreens would start getting popular with Europeans and Americans: this wave of Asian Beauty popularity that is sometimes fueled by borderline orientalist thoughts (just look at the specific language that some people use to put Korean skincare on a pedestal, it's really uncomfortable to watch) was not started by them but by western bloggers. If you have type III skin, these sunscreens are probably fine but but if you're pasty AF with a family history of skin cancer, you probably can't afford to mess around with them. They're just not formulated for you and that's fine. Stick to something that you know has been tested by third parties in countries where people have predominantly type II and I skin and has met the label claims.
