@ava.perki: Buying the Sky & Sol Face and Body SPF 50 really opened a can of worms I was not expecting... After doing research in sunscreen for a few years, a few things felt off about this product so I decided to take it to the lab to test it out. After my results, I wonder now WHAT is in this product?! Does the brand know? It’s really frustrating to uncover my findings (or even feeling the need to do all these tests) because sunscreens are already so mistrusted. I hope the brand can give us answers soon. Shoutout to @Dr. Julian Sass and @Parker | Cosmetic Chemist for all their input during this process! To note: I bought from this sunscreen directly from the brand’s website. #cosmeticchemist #cosmeticscience #cosmeticchemistry #sunscreen #naturalsunscreen #mineralsunscreen #skincare
Long-form science investigations! TikTok, keep me on this side!

U weren’t even halfway thru the vid & I was already questioning the zinc in the formula. Now I’m at the end and omggggg it really may not be. Thank you for this tho! SUPER interesting

Chem girlies are the best for real for real. When I was in gen chem my group of friends dominated that class.

how are they allowed to sell this if they aren't listing all ingredients, esp active ingredients?

This is super interesting. I just bought a "clear zinc oxide" formula sunscreen from badger. It doesn't leave a white cast at all.

Slightly off topic, but I’ve switched to only buying European sunblock. The US regulations prevent us from getting the improved formulas available in Europe.

I'd be really interested in seeing these sort of tests for a NZ based sunscreen called "active high performance sunscreen" it's supposedly cosmagel based and only requires a one app per day

Wouldn’t a product with beef tallow and olive oil in it have the risk of being unstable and potentially going rancid? There don’t seem to be any preservatives in it
