What the gurus are saying

One expert praised the formula for its antioxidant content, setting it apart from many other sunscreens on the market. However, other gurus raised serious concerns about testing integrity, noting that Medik8's SPF claims may have relied on laboratories with documented ethical issues in their testing practices. Anyone considering this sunscreen may want to research the current testing standards independently before committing.

"Medik8 has one. Uh, now Bondi Sands, it sounds like, but it seems like this scandal may not necessarily be initially what we were thinking it was. Was just the brands were white labeling these and selling these. So, uh, and the manufacturer was called Wild Child Laboratories, which ended up also recalling their sunscreens for more testing."

"Medik8 has a sunscreen there. At least 15 sunscreens sold in Australia have used PCR to test their SPF, and PCR is run by Barry Druit and his former husband Tony Barlo. Brian Efield that worked for them before joining Princeton Consumer Research had resigned from the AMA labs in the US over ethical concerns about fraudulating testing practices."
