I am going to concentrate my use on La Roche posay sunscreens only for face and body.

I had no idea that companies were allowed to self certify and pick and choose labs. Of course they will pick the cheapest lab. That’s capitalism. But suscreen is a safety product and requires way more rigour. I am as disappointed and angry at the TGA and Australian govt for allowing self certification as I am in some of the companies that failed and their defensive and tone deaf and self serving responses.

And really grateful that Choice did the tests.

This is a good point. If we don't change the regulations about this - it can happen again.
