What a wild statement to fault them for skin cancer because they’ve upped the prices of their product (which is still reasonable for the volume, quality, research and efficacy) as if they’re responsible for what people do.
He's not blaming the company. He's just saying the expense of sunscreen does discourage people from using it which is true. Make improving your comprehension skills your New Year's resolution.
He’s saying it leads to skin cancer, as if this is the only company that makes sunscreen. So yes, he is blaming them…. that’s literally what he’s saying.

@swamp potato: they are one of the cheapest and reputable sunscreen brands, so the go to for people on a budget, see their big pump packs at sports clubs and schools and work places which tend to be cost conscious.
Didn't they sell that defective banana boat spray on?
Banana boat is a different brand
@belongsinforums: No, Cancer Council don't have their own factory.

this sunscreen is supposed to be used just on the face, and as such this small tube actually lasts quite a while. it's also much more comfortable than your regular body sunscreen and accommodating to sensitive faces. it's much less oily than other body sunscreens you might be used to, and it plays well with makeup if you use it. it working as a bit of a moisturiser is the cherry on top.
using a sunscreen like this for your mug, ears, and neck + the 1l woolies everyday pump is a great affordable combo.
It’s $12 for 1L of generic SPF50+, regular price. Face sunscreens are more comfortable, but cost 10-20x more than regular sunscreen.
Coles is the cancer. Every week the size of my shop decreases for the same spend.
it’s part of the coles “fight obesity” campaign, they are encouraging you to do things like buy plain yogurt rather than flavoured with sugar, drink water instead of soft drink, eat fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, that’s why they put up the price of some items.
… and leads to more skin cancer.
Does it though? Covid taught us “You’re not a doctor, so you can’t make medical claims”. You probably disagree since covid is forgotten now.
What would happen if skin cancer went down the less people used it? What happens if the human body wasn’t meant to have all those chemicals on our skin. Or are they good chemicals?
To be scared of the sun - is also something the TV taught us. Is that true too? . So many people are vitamin D deficient. Maybe there is a link? Anyway, too much thinking… go with the flow, give a neg and support the big corporations. Science is settled just like the vax. They are never wrong.
The best way to have zero cancer and zero illnesses is to not diagnose or test for it.
This is fantastic. Buy all the bottles you can.
Still my holy grail.

Always wondered what the difference is between the homebrand sunscreen and this pricer stuff. Turns out it's basically just how it feels to apply it
Plenty of people who would pay more for a formula that suits their skin type and preference ie. not oily, no white cast, works well with makeup etc.
differences are how it feels but also homebrand and cheapies use nano titanium dioxide, some of the pricier ones are zinc, not sure which is healthier.
I use just wonder sunscreen on my face and the ladies at work laugh at me for being shiny, will this one have a matte finish?
Find a higher caliber of lady
bald head has that effect with shiny sunscreen, i wear a hat, they don’t laugh at me, but i think that is they are worried i might say “ you saying i have a shiny bald head has traumatized me, i nolonger feel inclusive, and will lodge a complaint with HR”.
Elite level face sunscreen. One bottle at home, one in the car, one at work. Best.
Chemist Warehouse has it for $16.69. Difference being $6.19. 10% of that is 61.9c.
=> Chemist Warehouse will pricebeat Coles at the register for $9.88
Does anyone know how effective the roll-on ones are?
Do I want the Daily Moisturizer or the Face Day Wear Moisturizer?
Who knew we had so many choices …is this the best sunscreen for ppl working outdoors?
the best face sunscreen for you is the one that satisfies the following:
- its spf50+
- its not banana boat
- its water resistant, if that's important to you (probably includes you if you'll be working up a sweat)
- doesn't irritate your face; if anything, it improves your skin
this ticks the first three boxes, but the last one depends person to person. cancer council sunscreens are pretty popular and generally really good so the one suggested by op is probably a safe bet.
why do you say "its not banana boat"?
Banana boat is a different brand
@lachlantula: maybe they need to get on Sky News, Sky is happy to promote a narrative no research needed.
@SnowDragon: Just read the article. It’s pretty fluffy typical media stuff but there’s no meat on the bone. As in no actual evidence there was any issue with the sunscreen, and at the end they quoted some expert who said it’s common for spray on sunscreen to not be used correctly. So at this stage I’m not convinced. He said vs she said and it’s easy to believe the mum the company.
@Corgsta: I don't really care that much I just remember it being a big thing a few years ago when people claimed they got burned. See @lachlantula's comment for example.
Plenty of other articles - not sure if just parroting the same thing though.
There's a water resistant version of this that usually follows same sale cycle. Similar light blue tube.
Apart from sunscreen where a hat and wear clothing that covers up as much as possible. Try to keep to the shade as much as possible as well.
FYI - if you have private health insurance extras with ahm, you can get a 100% rebate on cancer council UV products. Not sure if other PHI companies offer this as well.
No I dont think so
With NIB and I don't think they have
Gmhba also has this
YES ive been waiting all year for this! BTW big w also has the same
So does the sun
Citation needed.
As someone who has had a melanoma removed I would take my risks with sunscreen.
Had one removed at 55, sadly young people feel invincible when much of the damage starts. Australia was doing OK promoting the risks when the “slip slip slap” campaign was on TV, radio, billboards and people became sun conscious, but the risks don’t seem to be promoted as much anymore. Maybe it’s bad for tourism “if the snakes, spiders or crocs don’t kill ya our aussie sun and skin cancer will”.
Hope you are doing OK now. Mine was nearly 25 years ago and we caught it pretty early. I needed the 1 cm excision but that was it.
Perhaps they think the message is ingrained with kids when they are in primary school. The real trouble is the daft influencers and the Instagram shots. They need a “no tan is worth this scar” campaign.
I think they need to add “skin check” to the current five.
How does this compare to Nivea sun light feel spf 30+?
Equivalent, superior or inferior?I found the Nivea sun light feel to be ‘light feeling without the grease’ - however it’s become difficult to source lately from colesworth.
https://www.nivea.com.au/products/protect-and-light-feel-spf…
The difference is +20 based on the math
How did I ever miss that?
Mind blown!!
The question is geared towards the ‘feel of the product’ when applied - and less towards the quantities of ingredients.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You’ve got a very valid point.
I imagine saying that wearing no sunscreen is better than wearing "non organic" sunscreen is the cause of downvotes.
Do you have recommendations for any organic sunscreens?
what do you define as organic ? they use zinc or titanium dioxide, and oil is made from dinosaurs who were oragnic.
Heh, bloody Gwyneth Paltrow is a marketing genius.
Need 50%off sunglasses
yeah the only 20% off rayban doesn’t really promote the wearing of sunglasses for eye protection, and the 50% off ones are the gross ones people don’t want to wear. At least don’t need to be brand conscious with sunscreen once you put it on, though the mums might notice the brand on the tube of the sunscreen you put on your kids or offer to their kids.
- Hamilton Everyday Face > Cancer Council Face Day Wear > Dermaveen Sensitive Face & Body - credit/thanks to @moocher
The leftmost is lightest/more matte finish, the rightmost is more moisturising. OIler skins will prefer the left, drier skins the right.
seems coles is 50% off cancer council, woolies is 50% off hamilton, might get the 200gm tub of hamilton and see how it goes, hope it doesn’t make me look like i wear makeup, in a bloke.
Hamilton brand is best-rated sunscreen brand for overall satisfaction
https://www.canstarblue.com.au/health-beauty/sunscreen/Not sure about Aldi's sunscreen 🤷 why it's 4 stars for overall satisfaction.
Their sports sunscreens are getting so good now
the chemistry is well established now, just need to avoid brands that cheap out on active ingredients
Most skin cancers occur on parts of the body that are not regularly exposed to the sun
Important to reply, as a medical professional, that the vast majority of skin malignancies occur on sun-exposed areas and is directly correlated with accumulative exposure to UV radiation. That is especially true for SCCs and BCCs (squamous and basal cell carcinomas) which are more numerous but also have a greater tendency to be locally invasive than metastatic and are treated very frequently in our middle-to-older age populations, but is also true for melanoma which has greater metastatic propensity and higher lethality and premature death. Skin cancers including a higher proportion of melanomas can also occur on less sun-exposed areas, anywhere including in as odd places as under nails and between toes and under feet, which means that a comprehension skin check is recommended which you can do once every three months in the bathroom with a mirror.
Skin cancer has increased significantly since the Slip Slop Slap era. Hmm…
So has the population. You'll need to be a bit more specific with that statement..
There are so many reasons why that is the case. Our population has increased significantly, we had the whole tanning bed stupidity for a while, it often takes a while for the cancer to show up, it would take a while for the campaign to get traction. A lot of the cohort with issues now are people who were children before the campaign gained traction and people who ignored the advice.
That "Hmm" you are hearing is the hum of your brain jumping to the wrong conclusions.
Frankly I'm sick of the conspiracy theory stupidity. Particularly in this case it will get people killed.
@try2bhelpful: Being stupid is the latest craze. The internet could have propelled humanity, but it is arguably taking us back now with the proliferation of misinformation.
I’m not referring to the huge spike in cancer since the jab rollout in 2021
You're either a troll or a moron. Go back to your dimwitted Facebook echo chamber.
1 in 6 people are now infertile
Bowel Cancer has sky rocketed especially in young people between 20-40
Breast cancer in 35 and under bracket has gone through the roof
Turbo cancer is running rife
Massive increase in Stillbirths and MiscarriagesI assume you have reliable sources for your assertions. I would like statistics for what “massive” means.
They went from 16% to over 70% in less than 12 months = massive
Give me a valid site that shows these statistics.
64% of pathological liars are anti-sunscreen.
1 in 8 people are vegetable loving vampires.
50 is a massive increase from 20.
20% of people respond with 'the roof' when asked 'whats up?'
Toe cancer in 40 and over has gone through the pantry.
150% of random uncited statistics are fueled by agendas.
Here are 6 questionable common chemical sunscreen ingredients:
Oxybenzone, known as benzophenone-3, a hormone disrupter
Avobenzone, also a benzophenone
Homosalate, another hormone disruptor
Octinoxate, known as octyl methoxycinnamate, a hormone and endocrine disruptor
Octocrylene
Octisalate, which stabilizes avobenzone
Oxybenzone, homosalate, and octocrylene have also been found in breastmilk. This indicates that the risks of these chemicals entering the bloodstream extend beyond just the sunscreen wearer.After a single application of sunscreen, blood concentrations of oxybenzone were more than 180 times the FDA’s level of concern (0.5 ng/mL). The oxybenzone level soared to more than 500 times the FDA’s threshold after four days of use as recommended on the sunscreens’ labels.
Some alarming findings have been made on oxybenzone, a very common sunscreen ingredient
Those are all organic compounds.

Does anyone dony lik3 the sticky feeling of sun screen
Not every sunscreen has the same feeling. My skin felt dry (not feeling good) with Coles sunscreen, but I feel good with Cancer Council brand.
Coles sunscreen hurt my eyes after I applied it on my face long time ago. But Cancer Council brand is good for me as it doesn't hurt my eyes when I apply it near my eyes (most area of my face).
Thanks i just want a sunscreen that doesnt give sticky feeling.
Is there also longer duration sunscreen?
Was the recommendation spf50 minimum
Also was sunscreen also needed during cloudy days when the uv level was above 3
Just curious wqs skin cancer rare if u dont regularly tan all day at the beach
Is there also longer duration sunscreen?
Usually 2 - 4 hours need to reapply (from the packaging). I haven't found any longer that this.
Was the recommendation spf50 minimum
Yeah, better SPF50+ as UV radiation is higher in this country. Even Brisbane has more skin cancer cases.
Also was sunscreen also needed during cloudy days when the uv level was above 3
From what I read, yes …
Just curious was skin cancer rare if u dont regularly tan all day at the beach
Not sure about this. The longer you get sun exposure, the higher the skin cancer risk, I think.
Lots of people. Hence the market for more cosmetically elegant formulas that cost more.
Thanks any examples. Just only dont like teh sticky feeling
I like the Nivea Sun SPF 50 UV Face Shine Control. Ones that marketed towards makeup wearers tend to be more elegant imo. Mecca one is also a popular one, but more expensive. Hamilton is also another popular one, though I've never tried that one.
Hate how expensive this stuff has become too, $20+ regular price for a tiny tube. It discourages people to use it more and leads to more skin cancer.
