Cost Posted by: Sally Vandal 18 Jan 2011 4:10pm

I agree with Rosemary Patterson - sunscreens should be affordable if they're to be bought and used as you describe. I find $20-$30 for one bottle a price that doesn't encourage me to purchase it let alone a large family or people with low incomes.

I would also like an update on sunscreens. Especially as the last test held the Cancer Society to account for it's low SPF. It would be good to know if they have actually improved their product.

sunscreen ruins your clothes Posted by: Rosemary Patterson 14 Dec 2010 8:49am

I am fed up with sunscreen ruining my clothes.White or light coloured clothes turn yellow. Also if they want people to use it more why not lower the cost. Good sun screen is expensive which is why I would imagine most people don't use enough of it.

Why no test Posted by: Mike Callaghan 15 Dec 2009 3:31pm

Why is there no Test and results on such an important topic and product range?
I always go by your recommendations when I am buying items , it would be appreciated if this is covered for this summer.
