Did you know the SPF put a limit on the SPF rating due to so called “an SPF arms race”? Brands and manufacturers would rate their products SPF 70 or even 100, but pass SPF 30 the marginal benefit of increasing the SPF starts to decrease.
The reason brands love ingredient % chasing is the exact same reason why FDA had to put a stop to the SPF arms race. We see the use of high numbers in marketing everywhere, such as “killing 99.99% of germs” or “98% of consumers said they have noticed a positive change”. The higher the number is its marketing, the more safe, effective, value-worthy a product can seem to provide, however, that’s sometimes not the case.
Skincare ingredients % chasing could bring more harms than good, such as causing sensitive skins, look for ingredients compatibility and synergy next time ❤️🔥
