The first dangerous product is Sonnencreme SolarTea Bio SPF 30 sunscreen 100 ml from SolarTea from an Italian manufacturer. Several analyzes have shown that it contains a lower sun protection factor (SPF 4.3) than indicated on the product packaging (SPF 30). “Based on this finding, the consumer may be misled by the claim that the product provides high protection and is suitable for people with sensitive and fair skin. Such people are particularly sensitive to sunburn and prefer products with a high or very high level of protection. Thus, the user may not be adequately protected against UV radiation, which increases the risk of sunburn or skin cancer. “ the hygienists explained. According to the product safety assessment in accordance with the Commission recommendations, sun protection products must provide a minimum protection against UVB radiation in the form of a sun protection factor of at least 6. “The product does not therefore afford the declared protection, which is contrary to the regulations.” they added.

Hygienists also pointed to several types of wet wipes from the manufacturer from Albania. Specifically, these are 100-piece packages Wet Wipes Levender, Wet Wipes Chamomile a Wet Wipes Aloe Vera. In all of them, a mixture of the preservatives methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone was determined, which is contrary to the regulations of the European Parliament. ‘The above preservatives are not included in the list of ingredients on the packaging of the product. Mixtures of substances are only allowed in washable products. The product may cause an allergic reaction in sensitive people. “ warn hygienists.
