#greenscreen #greenscreenvideo should you trust your sunscreens? Especially when @Ultra Violette Australian SPF is not spf 50 but in fact, spf4? I have a lot to say about this consumer test, or the spf testing methods overall. But we’ll start here today
I flew to Australia to avoid the tariffs and test seven of their most iconic sunscreens—from accessible drugstore staples to high-end cult favorites. Here’s my honest ranking from least to most favorite. Some totally lived up to the hype, while others fell flat. But after testing them all, I understand why Australian sunscreens are considered some of the best in the world. Unlike in many countries, sunscreen in Australia is regulated as a therapeutic good by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), the same authority that oversees medicines. That means every product labeled SPF 50+ has been rigorously tested for both UVA and UVB protection, water resistance, and stability. Australia also happens to have some of the highest UV levels in the world, so effective sun protection isn’t optional—it’s part of daily life. That pressure has driven decades of innovation in texture, finish, and wearability. The result is sunscreens that are not only clinically effective, but also a pleasure to wear every day.
