Australian sunscreen brand Ultra Violette has pulled one of its products from shelves and is offering customer refunds over “concerning discrepancies” in SPF testing results.

It comes just months after a Choice report alleged its Lean Screen SPF 50+ Mattifying Zinc Skinscreen returned an SPF rating of 4.

At the time, Ultra Violette disputed the Choice findings and vowed to pursue additional testing.

Choice CEO Ashley de Silva said Lean Screen being pulled from shelves over discrepancies in SPF testing results “confirms there is a clear problem with how sunscreen is regulated and tested in Australia”.

“In a country where two in three people will be diagnosed with skin cancer, people deserve to trust that the SPF ratings on sunscreen are accurate and reliable,” she said in a statement.

“Without CHOICE’s investigation, Ultra Violette’s Lean Screen would still be on shelves, despite the fact that it does not provide anywhere near the amount of sun protection it claims to.”

De Silva called on the Therapeutic Goods Administration to provide an update on its investigation into the the Choice report on sunscreen SPF.
