    That's also a good deal - however, some private health insurance companies reimburse the total spent on Cancer Council products (specifically).

    E.g. AHM

      You're usually better off finding a health insurance company with better rates, rather than one that subsidises sunscreen.

  I have done a little bit of homework on sunscreen. Findings:

  The skin is the largest organ of the body and it absorbs what you put on it. Any chemicals on the sunscreen get absorbed into the bloodstream.
  Don't buy cheap sunscreen, especially with names to entice they are safe like 'cancer council' or 'surf live saving' or 'advance protection'. It's still full of cancer-causing chemicals.

  Look at organic sunscreen with zinc. A quick Google search will turn out with results and suppliers.

  note: organic is more expensive and needs to be applied more often (every 2 hrs depending on activity etc).
  But again, seriously, it's your body, your health, it goes hand on hand with shampoo, soap and conditioner chemicals. It's stupidity to eat organic food and shower with chemicals.

  And no, I am not vegan or wear a tin foil hat.

    Vaccines also have chemicals.

    edit: I'm only aware of one problem with most sunscreens and that they use oxybenzone which is an excellent ingredient to help protect your skin from harmful sun damage but it's damaging to coral reefs. Most scare campaigns say it's harmful but you'd have to drink 10 liters of sunscreen in a day to reach harmful limits.

    Are you drinking 10 liters of sunscreen?

    You say you’ve done “a bit of homework on sunscreen” but think the Cancer Council is just a made up brand name to entice people to buy sunscreen? Sounds like you need to do more ‘research’.

    Uhh…so does normal sunscreen.

  Be aware that sunscreen "goes off" so make sure you check the use by dates regularly. Also exposure to excessive heat will degrade the product so don't leave it in your hot car.
