One more year the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has carried out the expected analysis of which are the best sun creams to protect yourself this summer. "We finally have good news," says the OCU document, which indicates that this year of the 35 products they have compared, all comply and all are safe .

After the controversy aroused last year with this report, which questioned the OCU's methodology and results, this year the organization has done it again, although the results are very different. The OCU 35 has compared the products selling brands, grouped into three categories: lotions / body milks SPF 30 , sprays SPF 30 and sunscreens for children , SPF 50/50 +.

The main conclusion this year is that all the products analyzed fulfill their function of protecting against solar radiation: both the SPF and the UVA protection values ​​comply with what is indicated on the labeling. It is the first time this has happened in the last 4 years . "For less than six euros you can already buy a good quality cream in all the segments analyzed," the document assures.

To carry out the comparative study, the OCU market analysts select the products among the best sellers. There are products for sale in pharmacy and parapharmacy, in super and hypermarkets and in perfume shops. In order to compare and give an assessment to each product, all of them are subjected to tests in the laboratory , as well as practical tests of use and an evaluation of ingredients and labeling.

"Consumers have the right to enjoy safe, quality, sustainable products at a reasonable price," they affirm from the OCU.

After analyzing the composition, the UVA and UVB protection factor, the OCU has concluded that Eucerin Sensitive Protect Sun Lotion SPF 30 is the best sunscreen milk SPF 30 on the market. While for its good quality / price ratio the title of Master Purchase is for Sun Med (Mercadona) Sun Milk SPF 30 and One Hundred Sun (Lidl) Classic Sun Milk SPF 30 .

Among the SPF 30 sprays the best evaluation is for Roche Posay Anthelios Invisible 30 Spray , while the Master Purchase is for Sun Med (Mercadona) Solar Spray SPF 30 .

As for the children's protectors SPF 50/50 +, the best, according to the OCU, is Garnier Delial Children Hydrating Spray 50+ and the Master Purchase is One Hundred Sun (Lidl) Children's Solar Spray SPF 50+ . In fact, Garnier Delial Children's Spray is the product that receives the highest score from the OCU with 73 points out of 100. It is followed in second place by Garnier Delial Ambre Solaire Spray Protector SPF 30 , with 72 points out of 100. A cream indicated especially for light skin.

In third place, with the same score as the previous one, is Nivea Sun Milk Protects & Bronzes SPF 30 . With 71 points, one of the most expensive creams on the market (25, 25 euros), la Roche Posay Anthelios Confort SPF 30 , is in fourth place . And with the same score, but with a very different price (5.32 euros) is Lidl's One Hundred Sun Spray Solar for Children SPF 50+ . It has a protection factor of 50 and protects against UVA and UVB rays.

In addition, after last year's report in which the OCU pointed out that Isdin and Babaria's children's sprays did not meet the announced protection, this year the organization assures that it does. In both cases, the new products that have replaced them (ISDIN Pediatrics Transparent Spray SPF 50 and Babaria Spray Sunscreen Kids 50+) fulfill their protective function well.
