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.

Price
Price is the price of the size we surveyed. Other sizes may be available.
Price per 100g/ml is based on the price of the size we surveyed. Buying a larger size may be cheaper per 100g/ml.
Why is this free?
Our sunscreen database is free thanks to support from Te Whatu Ora - Health NZ. We’re dedicated to getting NZ consumers a fairer deal. We provide as much information as we can for free but we rely primarily on membership and donations to fund our work. You can help by becoming a Consumer member or making a donation. We’ll use your contribution to investigate consumer issues and work for positive change.
