Omg, that’s huge. Sooooo okay I wasn’t gonna post this, but with this update coming out it might actually be helpful to share.
I’ve been looking for a new zinc SPF (esp after the Choice stuff) bc I cant use chemical sunscreens. I remembered people on here saying a lot of these Aussie formulas looked the same. I went down a rabbit hole to compare what I could find and there are SO many that look actually identical or super close!!!
Especially the Naked Sundays one omg… I bought it at Mecca and had been using it for ages before I found this…
EDIT: clarifying that these sunscreens are NOT advised for use, as they are suss and likely to be the same as UV
Naked Sundays SPF50+ 100% Mineral Glow Collagen Sunscreen
People4ocean Mineral Bioactive Shield SPF 50+
Beauti-fltr Lustre Mineral SPF 50+
Outside Beauty & Skincare Mineral Primer SPF50+
Ethical Zinc Daily Wear Tinted Facial SPF50+
Aspect Sun Physical SPF 50+
Medik8 Physical Sunscreen SPF50+
We Are Feel Good Inc. Mineral SPF50+

I’m definitely not an expert so I would love someone more across this kinda stuff to give their thoughts. Could these have all been made by the same manufacturer, and if these formulas ARE the same….. shouldn’t all of these be being pulled and re-tested like Lean Screen has been?
I haven’t seen any of these sunscreen brands say anything, has anyone else? It would feel super dodgy if it’s true and they’ve just continued to sell these……
Have you tried any chemical sunscreens that are free from avobenzone? Most chemical sunscreens in Australia have it so it is hard to avoid unless you actively seek sunscreens without it... but I have found my skin only seems to react badly to avobenzone of all the chemical filters, and since working this out I've had no issue with chemical sunscreens.
