What are the risks?
There is a risk that a lower than labelled SPF rating may increase the risk of sunburn during use and reduce the long-term effectiveness of preventing skin cancer.
The TGA published information for consumers on 16 September 2025 on what the SPF number means and general guidance on the safe use of sunscreens. See Sunscreen SPF testing - information for consumers.
