### What to Keep in Mind

- Choice Testing Reports: Consumer advocacy group Choice tested several Australian sunscreens and found that many fell short of their labeled SPF claims in specific lab tests, though leading options like Cancer Council Kids and Mecca Cosmetica passed. Brands generally dispute these lab findings and point to TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) compliance. - TGA Regulation: All therapeutic sunscreens sold in Australia carry an AUST L number, meaning they are tightly regulated for safety and quality by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

To help narrow down the best option for you, let me know:

- Is this sunscreen for your face, body, or children/babies? - Do you prefer a chemical or mineral (zinc) formula? - What is your skin type (oily, dry, or sensitive)?

For Australia, I'd prioritise a sunscreen that is broad-spectrum SPF 50+, water-resistant, comfortable enough to wear every day, and compliant with Australian sunscreen standards\. Australia's UV levels can be intense, so consistent application matters just as much as the brand.

The best choice depends on whether you want a sunscreen for everyday wear, sport and swimming, sensitive skin, or under makeup.

## Best sunscreens to consider in Australia

## Important: check current sunscreen testing and recalls

Australia has had significant sunscreen testing concerns. In May 2026, the Therapeutic Goods Administration reported that its investigations into products with questionable SPF results were ongoing. Some products have been recalled or withdrawn. These issues make it especially important not to rely on popularity or online reviews alone. www.tga.gov.auwww.choice.com.au

Before buying, check the TGA's latest sunscreen testing information and recalls\. Look for an Australian AUST L or AUST R number, broad-spectrum protection, and SPF 50 or 50+. www.tga.gov.auwww.choice.com.auwww.tga.gov.au

Apply generously and reapply according to the label, particularly after swimming, sweating or towelling off.
