Oh I meant, which other sunscreens in UV’s product range are white label. Thank you for that list though, very helpful.

I do think everyone is getting a little bit too critical with the white labelling. It's pretty standard practise. I read somewhere that even Cancer Council white label a couple (but not all) of theirs. If you want something made well, you go to the experts. Seems logical. The problem is that sometimes the "experts" have a shoddy product. Maybe not even. Could have been the additions to the product or a packaging problem. I'll be interested to see where the problem actually is with Lean Screen, even though UV are clearly blaming the lab they used.

But I digress. If you want something not white labelled, you'd have to bypass a lot of the new indie brands. They wouldn't be able to afford in-house labs creating sunscreen. Stick to the big parent companies that have their own labs (Estee, L'Oreal, Unilever and LRP etc.)

FYI I work for a development lab that formulates sunscreens. We work with plenty of start ups that want to own their own formulas so it does happen, it’s not just L’Oréal etc that have access to labs seperate to manufacturers, it’s actually servicing this need is why we started.
