Spokesperson at Beiersdorf UK said:

As the World’s No.1 Sun Protection brand*, the safety of our products is of the utmost importance. NIVEA SUN prides itself on its decades of experience in sun care for adults and children and is dedicated to developing products that reliably and effectively protect against sun damage. We rigorously test each of our NIVEA SUN formulations and their labelled SPFs according to internationally standardised test methods at independent test institutes, so we can always ensure consistent, high-quality efficacy and consumer safety of all NIVEA SUN products.

The independent test institute used for the NIVEA SUN Kids Protect & Care SPF50+ Coloured Spray demonstrated that the product achieved an SPF rating above 50 in the most rigorous of the testing protocols. In order to provide the utmost reassurance to our customers on product safety, following the Which? report in June 2021 an independent laboratory retested the product and found that the formula continues to match up to our high standards, scoring an SPF of 58.5.

Therefore, we can confidently reassure consumers that, based on independent expert testing, NIVEA SUN remains completely safe and effective for customers and their families to use.
