Why it's dangerous
Burns
The cream does not provide the announced level of Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Consumers may therefore suffer sunburn and the chronic consequences of excessive sun exposure through the UV radiation contained in sunlight when using the product, including immunosuppression, skin ageing and skin cancer.
The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
