Looking forward to seeing what happens with this scandal. Great video! Well done!

[Aki-wqxh]

Question: will the ingredients in your physical sunscreen somehow further weakens or diminish the spf in Puritos’ or vice versus? I have heard that that could happen so I don’t know what to do with mine now!

[sebastian..]

Them blaming the lab company, instead of doing their own research before launching a product :(

[wyattvictor]

so what exactly is Purito going to do?
