Indian sunscreen brands fail SPF tests, raising concerns about product safety

Six out of ten Indian sunscreen brands failed to meet advertised SPF levels in an independent lab test. An influencer funded tests on ten brands, finding many offered less than half their stated sun protection. The results have sparked debate over testing standards and influencer ethics. Dermatologists questioned the validity of the in-vitro tests and potential influencer bias, while some brands met expectations and one exceeded them.
