I used to think that paying for expensive suntan lotions was a bit of a rip off and the cheaper ones would be ok, but I checked on Which and it seems it is worth the extra. I thought I should share it with anyone who diesnt have Which.
They tested that the protection offered on the label was correct, and used those advertised as factor 12 as a sample. These are the 2006 results.
