• Health The health dangers of sunbathing

The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), dependent on the Ministry of Health, has requested

the voluntary withdrawal of 14 sunscreens

because the sun protection factor (SPF) does not correspond to the labeling.

This request comes after the end of the sun protection product market control campaign, which began in December 2019 and whose objective was to ensure that the sun protection factor (SPF) that appeared on the label does not differ from that determined in the tests.

However, the AEMPS has ensured that

no incidents of sunburn

related to any of these products have been reported to the Spanish Cosmethovigilance System.

It has also urged companies to voluntarily recall the batches tested and asked them to carry out additional trials on other batches to verify the safety of the products.

THE WITHDRAWN CREAMS

an SPF value of less than 60

has been obtained

and 50+ was claimed,
