Combine with Cashrewards $3 cashback deal + 7% cashback to bring it down to $5.83 a bottle.
Normally around $20 for the 400ml bottle or $10 when on half price special.
So I believe this is the lowest ever price.
Probably the best sunscreen on the market in my opinion too, rubs in nicely without leaving an oily residue.
CamelCamelCamel.
Nice find cheers
Thanks OP - 1 litre also currently a good price.
Good deal mate :)
I think there's only 3 left at this reduced price so don't delay!
400ml ozbargained
Half price at woolworths atm about $10
Or get there woolworths 1l for about $9
I got 1L bottle. Thanks OP.
Really not a fan of this sunscreen. Leaves a film feeling on my skin. If I rub my fingers together it starts to flake off like caked on dirt. Gross.
Leaves more than that lol…
Traces of chemicals in this sunscreen can be found in the blood stream 28 days later after just one application.
It's the homosalate and Octocrylene 50mg/g. Tests have never been done on long terms affects but it's worrying it's fully detectable 28 days later! Sunscreen gets absorbed straight into the blood stream.
any recommendations?
No recommendations as this new development is only weeks old.
Hopefully manufacturers will do testing and change the ingredients in years to come.
The CNN article stated that any barrier sunscreen using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide shouldn't absorb. Cancer council sensitive would be an example.
The article also clearly states that absorbing doesn't mean dangerous. Just they need to study it more. 66% of Australians will get skin cancer during their life. PLEASE CONTINUE TO USE SUNSCREEN.
Octocrylene has been shown to affect coral so don't use that at the reef.
How good is this any OZbargainers have any feedback??
Get a 1L bottle Aldi for $8 and $9 Coles/Woolworths.
Of nivea?
No, just sunscreen.
Does Nivea give you a special tingle or some other functionality?
I find it far superior to any other sunscreen I've used. Plus, I'd trust Nivea over some no name aldi brand.
@ihbh: Like I said in the post, rubs in better, moisturizes and doesn't leave any residue on your skin.
@gooddealmate: Okay.
If you were just after sunscreen (that is, protect against UV), here's what Choice had to say about it: https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-persona…
Use SPF 50+ sunscreen for maximum benefit.
Price
All sunscreens on the market must be listed with the Therapeutic Goods Administration and tested and rated according to Australian standard AS/NZS 2604:2012. So the cheapest 50+ sunscreen should provide you with the same protection as the most expensive.
One advantage of a cheap one is that you're likely to use it more freely. On the other hand, more expensive ones may feel nicer on the skin – if cheaper ones feel yucky, you may not use them as much.
@ihbh: At Uni when I studied cancer control a guest lecturer from cancer council Australia was going on about how the difference between spf 30 and 50 is less than 1% so it's not even worth it in most cases.
the 400ml.is $10.50 at Woolworths atm.
This sunscreen is extremely greasy. Do not recommend.
Ok, I will not recommend it.
It's funny how opinions differ so much, I would say I highly recommend this because it isn't greasy.
Yeah my gf said she just ran out, swears by this stuff.
She swears by it, ozzieozzieozzie swears at it…
🔥🔥
I’ve been using the neutrogena ultra sheer sunscreen lotion. It may be more expensive although it works good for my sensitive skin.
You can get the Nivea sensitive sunscreen 200ml for $7.99 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07YC7GHGX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i…
Thanks op, got 1l and other bits and bobs to get free delivery.
Wow, I can't believe people just buy sunscreen based on a brand name.
This stuff isn't even broad spectrum. The only things that protect completely against UVA are Zinc Oxide and Avobenzone. If it doesn't contain either of those, it doesn't really protect against UVA.
Furthermore, there's a plethora of articles about how bad Octycrylene and Oxybenzone are for the environment, and very likely for your own health. How you'd blindly buy things that absorb into your blood so easily is beyond me.
Do yourself a favour, buy a mineral based sunscreen. Ethical Zinc, or even Banana Boat Daily Protect SPF50+. Both are purely ZnO as the active ingredient (I use both on my children - no chemical based sunscreens)
Wow, I can't believe people just buy sunscreen based on a brand name.
This is OzBargain…price is normally a pretty significant factor too.
Thanks a lot for this info! I checked the "Banana Boat Daily Protect SPF50+" one and it looks like a chemical sunscreen. https://www.bananaboat.com.au/products/banana-boat-everyday-…
Actives : Homosalate 10%, Octocrylene 8%, Octyl Salicylate 5%, Butyl Methoxydibensoylmethane 4%
Are you mistaking it for this one? https://www.bananaboat.com.au/products/banana-boat-simply-pr…
Yes I was. Thank you for correcting.
I have this one, not the chemical one at home.
For those who don't trust random people on the internet but want to keep things straight (that's called critical thinking), here is the original FDA article which indeed confirms the fact that non-mineral sunscreens do get absorbed into your blood system:
https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/spotlight-…
Whether there is a negative health effect of that or not is yet to be established but zinc indeed seems like a safer option.
It also contains dimethicone, a silicone which some say is quesionable.
nivea 1L is $16.99 from chemist warehouse at the moment f you can’t wait for delivery
