The consumer group labelled one product from cosmetics giant Avon a 'Don't Buy', saying it offered inadequate protection.
Asda's Kids Sun Lotion Spray at £3.60 topped the SPF50 category for children, while Which? also named Boots Soltan Kids Protect & Moisturise Lotion at £4 as another"great value" option.Two rounds of testing by the watchdog found Avon's Refreshing 3-in-1 Face and Body Sun Lotion SPF30, costing £5.75 for 150ml,"did not come close to hitting its claimed SPF30".
"Upon hearing from Which? Avon has engaged its Quality and Research and Development teams to investigate the specific batch of product that Which? tested.Read More:Louise Scott, chief scientific officer for Avon, added:"SPF testing by its nature is variable and whilst the Which? testing found this product to have a 26 SPF rating, we categorically dispute that people are putting themselves at risk by using this product.
Natalie Hitchins, Which? head of home products and services, said:"It is great to see cheaper sunscreen options available on the high street and in supermarkets at a time where consumers need affordable options. "However, 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.
"Our advice is to stick to a tried and tested suncream. Do not be fooled into thinking that paying a higher price will definitely mean a better or safer product as our testing proved a supermarket own brand product can do the job well."
