As a leader in the sun-care market, Coppertone (Bayer) says they’re going the extra mile to ensure their sunscreen really works.
“Our continued investment in comprehensive testing programs go beyond what is required by the FDA, such as real world-use studies involving outdoor recreational activity, including swimming in a pool,” says Eduardo Ruvolo, director of medical affairs of sun care and skin care at Bayer.
In fact, over the past 30 years, Coppertone has conducted 143 real-world, sunscreen-use studies, involving 16,500 volunteers between the ages of 3 and 66.
To provide consumers with an even greater degree of transparency, which they hope creates trust and peace of mind about using their sunscreen, Coppertone “took the unprecedented steps of retaining an independent firm to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of our sun care program, and then shared the results publicly,” Mr. Ruvolo tells Cosmetic Surgery Times.
An industry first, according to the company, Coppertone opened its facilities, processes and records to third-party AccountAbility to conduct an Independent Assurance Report.
