Issues related to safety
This sunscreen did not meet the standard required to claim SPF50+ protection (very high sun protection). An incorrect SPF claim puts consumers at risk of insufficient protection from sunburn and long-term UV damage.
However, this sunscreen did meet the standard to claim SPF30 protection (high sun protection). As such, this sunscreen is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to consumer safety.
