Over 30 zinc sunscreen brands using formula that failed preliminary SPF testing | ABC NEWS

From the creator

Preliminary testing by whistleblower Craig Jones on a zinc sunscreen determined an SPF rating of 20, rather than the advertised 50. The ABC has discovered 30 other brands of sunscreen are using the same formula, produced by Queensland manufacturer VeganicSKN. The TGA told the ABC it is "concerned about preliminary data that may indicate a sunscreen does not meet its claimed SPF" and will consider whether to investigate and "take regulatory action as appropriate".
