Three sunscreens have failed Consumer NZ’s testing for the second year in a row.
In its first round of sunscreen tests for the summer, the watchdog found a trio of sunscreens didn’t meet their SPF protection claims. Two of those also did not meet broad-spectrum requirements.
A sunscreen’s SPF (sun protection factor) measures protection against UVB rays, and its broad-spectrum provides protection against UVA and UVB rays.
