Why have your products been reformulated?Updated a month ago

The reason why some of our formulations differ between markets is due to regulatory requirements. In the USA, sunscreens are classified as Over-the-Counter (OTC) non-prescription drugs and must comply with the US monograph.  

The US monograph is a set of guidelines established by the FDA that outlines the quality standards for sunscreens and other OTC products.  

Some of the sunscreen filters we use in our Aussie SKINSCREENS are not approved for use in the USA under the US Monograph. As a result, we’ve had to reformulate only a couple of our products!  

With this being said, it's still the same future-proofing Screen you love inside the tube. You can't feel any difference in the formula, we promise!
