Abstract

The article reports on a study by researchers at France's University of Nantes which found that one in seven makeup and skincare products which claim to include a sun protection factor do not provide enough protection from UVA rays and do not comply with legislation on suncare products. The report tested makeup and skincare products which are available in pharmacies and perfumeries. It was found that 27 of the 35 products were insufficiently photostable to get a once-daily application instruction.
