Pharmacy Daily | Ego SPF assurance

EGO Pharmaceuticals has blasted claims made by consumer group CHOICE that one of the company’s SunSense products didn’t meet its SPF claims. Last weekend CHOICE published an article detailing testing of a small sample of sunscreens from various brands including SunSense. Following the story, Ego undertook independent retesting of the same batch and found that its SunSense Sport SPF50+ returned results with an SPF greater than 60. Ego Scientific Affairs Manager, Kerry Grieve, said the retesting was undertaken at an FDA accredited laboratory and also included static and post immersion results which also supported Ego’s four hours water resistance claim. Grieve said the results from the highly specialised form of clinical testing “unequivocally counteracts these recent claims”. “We stand by our SPF claims... customers can be assured that the quality of Ego’s products is not in any way compromised,” she said.
