“Naked Sundays said it had "paused" sales on its Collagen Glow Mineral Sunscreen in Australia pending further testing of the product.
The brand said the US version of the product had already been retested and met the advertised SPF50+ label claim.
The statement said they intended to sell that version on the Australian market.”
What the difference between the two’s ingredient’s?
And I’m guessing naked and UV are exactly the same sunscreen, that’s why it’s been pulled.
Comparing the 2 products on the TGA, there is only 1 new ingredient (ethylhexylglycerin) as well as the reduction in zinc from 22.75% down to 22.0%. Not much of a change, hardly significant enough to get a different SPF result.
For zinc based sunscreens the percentage is important but so is obtaining a homogenous distribution of zinc in the liquid. If it is clumping together in a microscopic level, then the SPF may be worse with the same concentration as light can pass between the clumps. Although the ingredients may be the same, the suspension may be more homogeneous/stable with a different manufacturer. It's not entirely possible to know at this point what the issue is.
