Sunscreen Shenanigans
Sunscreen is supposed to protect you, not mislead you. But for years, marketers dodged regulations, pushing claims like "waterproof" or SPF 120 that sound great but don't tell the whole truth. Meanwhile, skin cancer took tens of thousands of lives.
Here's the real issue: sunscreen isn't a magic bullet. You need to use more and reapply often, but that's not sexy to sell. So, marketers hyped easy fixes instead of educating the public.
Two questions:
- Without strict rules, how can consumers trust what's on the label?
- Why wouldn’t ethical companies want clear regulations to level the playing field?
Honest marketing isn't just ethical - it's good business, too. Unless, of course, you're making money in the shade.
