One of the Most Accurate Testing Laboratories in the World
FSTI has participated in COLIPA SPF studies evaluating the exactness of findings globally. This “blind” research was organized and analyzed by BIPEA, an independent French testing agency.
With an average SPF value of 102% of the mean value, FSTI was found to be the most accurate of all participating labs for the 17 individual products tested when we last participated. In addition, FSTI was closest to the mean value more often than any other participating lab. This international acclaim through BIPEA is a great source of pride for the company.
