Consumer watchdog Which? has warned shoppers to avoid using a particular branded sun cream. According to Birmingham Live, consumer group testers found it 'did not come close to hitting its claimed SPF30'.
Two rounds of testing by the watchdog found that Avon's Refreshing 3-in-1 Face and Body Sun Lotion SPF30 'did not offer' the sun protection advertised. But Avon said it 'stands behind its data and that of the independent labs' which conduct its testing.
Which? advised consumers against buying the product, which costs £5.75 for a 150ml bottle. Natalie Hitchins, Which? head of home products and services, said: "It's a concern to find a big brand product on the market that has failed our testing and did not offer the level of protection claimed on the packaging.
