Biore UV Claims No Distribution in Nigeria, Raises Concerns
In August 2026, a Nigerian TikTok user inquired about Biore UV sunscreen, leading to the brand's claim that it does not distribute to Nigeria. This revelation surprised many, including a consumer who had purchased the sunscreen in 2025 after experiencing adverse effects from a different product.
The consumer's investigation into the product's availability in Nigeria involved checking various pharmacies and online stores, revealing that the sunscreen was widely sold despite Biore's statement. The consumer sought clarification from Biore via email and social media but received no response.
Additionally, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) was contacted for an opinion on the matter. The situation sparked discussions on social media about the authenticity and safety of the sunscreen being sold in Nigeria, questioning the quality control of vendors.
