Purito Sunscreen and All About SPF Testing | Lab Muffin Beauty Science

Purito Centella Unscented Sunscreen tested at SPF 19 (edit: now also at 28.4), lower than its SPF 50+ label, in 2 in vivo tests. Why do scientists insist on in vivo SPF tests? Should we stop trusting all Korean sunscreens? All Asian sunscreens? Should we only use sunscreens from large Western manufacturers? I go through it all in this video.
