ONE NEWS 21 November 2019:
Nine out of 20 sunscreens tested by Consumer NZ did not provide the SPF protection that was specified on the label, according to a new study released today.
Cancer Society and Banana Boat were among the brands that failed the test.
The Cancer Society Everyday Sun Lotion SPF50+ only showed a maximum of SPF30.
The product was tested at two different labs.
To claim SPF50,+ a sunscreen must achieve SPF60 in lab testing, Consumer NZ chief executive Sue Chetwin pointed out.
“As a result of our findings, the Cancer Society said it’s withdrawing the batch of the product we tested," she said in a statement. "However, given the reports we have from two separate labs showing the sunscreen doesn’t measure up to its claimed performance, we’ve asked it to recall all batches of this product."
Sunsense Ultra SPF50+, Banana Boat Dry Balance Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ and Marine Blue Australia Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ didn’t meet their SPF claims, either
The tests show the products only provide moderate protection.
Many companies - including the Cancer Society and Sunsense - tested their products AMA Laboratories, a sunscreen-testing facility in the US, said Ms Chetwin.
“In August 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration announced AMA’s owner had been charged with, and some staff had pleaded guilty to, falsifying test results from 1987 to April 2017,” Ms Chetwin said.
The brands that passed the test this year are:
• La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Ultra-Light Fluid SPF50+
• Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+
• Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+
• Smart365 Sun Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+
• Oasis Sun Sport PA++++ SPF40
• Badger Sport Unscented Natural Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF35
• My Sunshine Natural Sunscreen + Antioxidants SPF30
• Solzinc Natural Sun Protection 30+
The brands that failed to meet their claims are:
• Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ A Touch of Mango and Papaya
• Invisible Zinc Face + Body Mineral Sunscreen SPF50
• Natio Suncare Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF50+
• Frankie Apothecary Natural Sunscreen + Kawakawa and Antioxidant SPF50
• MooGoo Natural Sunscreen SPF40
• Cancer Society Everyday Sun Lotion SPF50+
• Marine Blue Australia Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+
• Sunsense Ultra SPF50+
• Banana Boat Dry Balance Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+
During a similar study last year, only four out of 19 brands meet their SPF requirements.

INTERESTING FACTS: Fat cells may explain why melanoma becomes 'aggressive and violent'. Why should we detect melanoma in the early stages.
( ‘MEDICALnewsTODAY’ - Published Monday 29 July 2019 Published Mon 29 Jul 2019)

"Locked in the skin's outer layer, the epidermis, melanoma is very treatable; it is still early stages, it has not penetrated the dermis to spread through blood vessels to other parts of the body, and it can simply be removed without further damage," continues Prof. Levy.

"Melanoma turns fatal when it 'wakes up,' sending cancer cells to the dermis layer of skin below the epidermis and metastasizing in vital organs."

"Blocking the transformation of melanoma is one of the primary targets of cancer research today, and we now know that fat cells are involved in this change."

However, at a certain point, tumors enter a "vertical," more aggressive, stage, wherein they start to invade the deeper layers of skin that contain fat. So, the researchers asked, what causes this "metastatic switch"?
