On Thursday, Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) released a raft of proposed changes to improve how sunscreens are tested and sold, including simplifying sun protection factor (SPF) labelling.
In its statement, the TGA highlighted the recent blow to consumer confidence in sunscreens, after a series of investigations last year by consumer group Choice and the ABC found many products were not offering the SPF protection they advertised, leading to product recalls.
