SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen

Our sunscreen was not associated with the 20 products that failed their SPF testing claims. Yet, after the recent Choice Sunscreen Investigation we did undertake additional confirmatory testing with an independent, accredited SPF testing laboratory (Not Princeton Consumer Research Lab) to ensure our SPF rating was correct. This 10 panel testing results come back in line with our label claims, validating the SPF50+BROAD SPECTRUM VERY HIGH UVA + UVB PROTECTION you see on pack.

Some of the products are hitting a large air bubble and the airless suction mechanic cannot seem get started again. The manufacturer has suggested to pump hard 30-40 times, but we appreciate that is an inconvenience. The lid also screws off to see how much product is left inside. We are in the process of moving it to a tube for the next run, ready by April 2026. Please email hello@fucaorganic.com for a free replacement if you cannot seem to get the suction started again xx

The key difference lies in how they protect your skin.

Physical (mineral) sunscreens—made with mineral-based zinc oxide —sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays away like a mirror. They’re ideal for sensitive or easily irritated skin, as they’re gentle and non-irritating.

Chemical sunscreens absorb into your skin where they soak up UV rays, convert them into heat, and then release that heat from the skin’s surface. They often feel lighter but can cause irritation for reactive skin types.

For those with sensitive, reactive, or barrier-impaired skin, a physical sunscreen is the gentler choice.

An AUST L number is a unique code issued by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) that shows a product is officially listed on Australia’s Register of Therapeutic Goods.

This means your sunscreen has been tested and approved for safety, quality, and proven SPF protection under some of the world’s strictest sun standards.

If your sunscreen doesn’t have an AUST L number, there’s no guarantee the SPF or protection claims are real.
