Anvisa bans claim 100% protection against solar radiation
The use of sunscreen is an essential habit, and greater product efficacy, ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) has published new rules.
A key change is that the minimum value of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) will increase from 2 to 6. Now also the protection against both UVA must be at least one-third (1/3) of the SPF value declared.
The RDC Resolution 30/12 also increases the levels of testing required to prove the effectiveness of the shield. The label Guards also will change. For example, manufacturers can indicate on their labels as expressions Water Resistant, Very Water Resistant, Water Resistant / Water Resistant or sweat / perspiration from showing this characteristic.
