When Sunscreen Meets Plastic: A Newly Discovered Threat to Marine Ecosystems

AUSTRALIA, JUL 8 – Australia's regulator calls for tighter sunscreen ingredient limits after consumer tests showed some brands failed to meet SPF 50 claims, amid global safety concerns.

  • According to Choice’s lab tests, Ultra Violette’s SPF50+ returned SPF4 and four of 20 products met claims; Cancer Council, Bondi Sands and Banana Boat cite independent tests confirming compliance.
  • Manufacturers must reformulate sunscreens exceeding proposed ingredient limits, while Coles and Woolworths work with suppliers to ensure compliance.
  • Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration invites public comments by August 12, while the FDA is re-evaluating chemical sunscreens for safety, aiming for global standards alignment.
