AFAIK Bemotrizinol is the only(?) chemical sunscreen active which is shown to not be an endocrine disruptor (this chemical https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36738872/)
It's hard/impossible to find in US formulations but in AU and EU some higher end brands use it. I like the La Roche Posay Anthelios series of sunscreen - I believe they all use Bemotrizinol as the active but I am 100% sure this one does: https://www.laroche-posay.com.au/sun-protection/face-sunscre... - Note that the formulation for the specific product is different in different regions, this is the Australian version.
I work at a company which has 11 engineers and competes with companies with 100s. The hiring process was a screening call with the CTO to not waste the prospective team's time, then a call with 2 of my prospective colleagues to gauge competence and cultural fit. Since then I have been involved in hiring most of the team I work with now. The CTO is one of the most competent engineers I have ever met and he designed this process. He also has very high EQ. One of the points I sell to prospective hires is him as a person to work with, as well as our team. He has also flatly denied people I suggested before and that's fine.
I have been here 5 years now and I'm working with the most competent team I have ever worked with. My take away from this is that hiring doesn't need to be commoditised and scale, it just needs to find good people and give them an opportunity to show you that you do or don't want to work with them.
Being concerned about animal testing seems pretty silly coming from people who likely eat pigs, sheep and other intelligent animals every day, who likely lived in just as bad conditions if not worse their whole lives leading up to them becoming food.
I also eat meat, it just seems a bit ironic to me.
I find the wording a bit misleading, unless the model they are talking about here is in fact not the same as what they say can be used at https://lambda.chat/chatui/.

Mac actually does this already - hold down a letter key and you can select a variation using the number keys. I guess he was on to something back in 2011!
I'll just add a couple of details here since I have had this happen to me multiple times...
I'm an Australian citizen and this applies just as much to me as a foreigner (for whom although I disagree about, I could make a reasonable argument for this being valid). Police require a warrant and/or reasonable suspicion of having committed a specific crime to search any part of you or your belongings. Border Force do not require this.
When they ask for the code, they will either:
- just open your device and rifle through your photos and messages in front of you, asking questions like "got a lot of photos of x, what's that about?" or "who is y?", ask you questions like "what are you doing in Australia? Who are you seeing? What's your relationship to them?" et cetera (even to me, a citizen who spends majority of my time abroad).
- Take it into another room for 20mins or so and presumably take a dump of the whole thing for further analysis. I once asked "what is done with this data and how long is it stored" and they refused to answer the question.
One time after refusing to hand over the code (politely) I was treated pretty aggressively, had my whole body searched (not strip searched, groped well all over), all my luggage taken apart etc. I received a letter in the mail that I could go and collect my phone at the airport after around 3 weeks. It seems unlikely they have some tech which allows exfiltration of data from a locked iPhone(?) so I'm not sure what that's about. They claimed to me that they do indeed have this capability.
Since refusing to open the phone and letting them keep it I seem to be on some kind of list and have had a Border Force officer meet me at the baggage carousel a couple of times with the "please come with me sir" to my own private search area where a few of them are ready to search my luggage inside out. This seems to happen less recently since I have just given them the code. They have successfully made it inconvenient enough for me to comply.
One time years ago they did the same thing with my laptop. Since that incident they have only asked about my phone.
Also consider Australians who travel and return home. I have personally had my phone searched 3 times. I know many people who also have the same experience. One time I refused and let them keep the phone, just bought a new iPhone and restored it. Since then I was searched almost every time I went through the airport.
After refusing to hand over the code (Politely... I explained that no, there is no terrorism material or similar on my phone, I just object to this practice, which they could not comprehend) I was treated pretty aggressively, had my whole body searched (not strip searched, but groped very well all over), all my luggage taken apart etc.
