Sunscreens
We aren’t testing sunscreens this summer. Sunscreens sold in New Zealand are now regulated under the Sunscreen (Product Safety Standard) Act and must meet the Australian and New Zealand sunscreen standard, which has requirements for independent testing.
While we’re still campaigning for regular mandatory sunscreen testing we’ve developed a sunscreen database, to help you decide which sunscreen to buy.
