[PSA] This whole Purito sinscreen fiasco doesn't make xenophobia okay

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I understand that it sucks to find out that a company has been misleading about a product you loyally use. However, it's not justified to apply generalizations to all Korean or Asian brands. Think about it this way—if a U.S. company turned out to be lying about their SPF rating (plot twist: this has happened already, a bunch of times), would you stop purchasing all U.S. products or would you attribute it the specific brand/company?I'm seeing a lot of people saying they're only going to buy western sunscreens from now on. That's an irrational fear driven by xenophobia. Asian brands aren't a monolith and they are just like American or other western brands. They have different values, different policies, different organization structure, different leadership, different resources, etc. from company to company. There's a huge difference, for example, between the formulations for products sold by Proctor and Gamble vs. The Ordinary, which are both western companies.We should do our due diligence and research with ALL brands and encourage transparency and third party testing. But don't stop buying Asian products.
