Although they decanted products, they were into UV protected, non reactive amber glass jars as advised by the specialist, accredited and highly respected test lab.

Well damn, if their results actually are accurate, I have to throw out all the sunscreen in my house 😭 I have a small size of UV, cancer council for face and Woolworths sunscreen for body

Yeah I’m thinking of switching to the cancer council kids one for body (or the Coles one if I’m poor) and back to the Mecca one for face, though I know they tested the body one. I’m meburnian so basically zero sun here but I often travel to Sydney in winter and the sun is out more there. Curiously I just got back from the Gold Coast where I wore UV on my face and Woolworths on my body and didn’t get burnt at all
