Australian-Made Sun Care

A sunscreen you will actually wear is a good place to start. These Australian sun-care makers offer daily facial SPF, mineral zinc options, water-resistant products and after-sun care. In Australia, therapeutic sunscreens must meet Therapeutic Goods Administration requirements; check the product label for its SPF rating, directions and water-resistance claim. Not every sunscreen or after-sun product falls under the same rules, so look at the individual product rather than assuming a whole range is alike.

Interested in ingredients or packaging? Brand profiles link to published sources for their badges and offer a starting point for comparing options. Terms such as 'reef-safe' do not mean a sunscreen has been proven harmless to marine life. When the UV index is 3 or higher, remember that sunscreen works alongside shade, a hat, protective clothing and sunglasses.
