What makes Aldi’s sunscreen so good?
Which tested a range of sunscreens against the British Standards for UVA and UVB protection.
Aldi’s sunscreen outperformed other more expensive options to take the top spot in performance and value.
The judges praised the sunscreen for its affordability and achieved a four-star rating for sustainability thanks to its UV filter impact and packaging recyclability.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “With red weather warnings in place, it’s more important than ever that families take sun safety seriously.
“That means not only applying high factor sun cream, but also seeking shade where possible, covering up with protective clothing and staying hydrated throughout the day.
“Our award-winning sun cream range offers great-value protection for shoppers so they can feel confident they’re choosing quality, trustworthy sun care.”
