AMA submission to the TGA Seeking Feedback on Improvements to the Regulation of Sunscreens in Australia

The AMA emphasises that improving the reliability and transparency of SPF testing is particularly important in the current context of heightened public scrutiny of sunscreen effectiveness. Any perceived weakening of testing standards risks further eroding public confidence. Strengthening testing frameworks and maintaining robust reference standards are essential to restoring trust in labelled SPF claims and ensuring that sunscreen performance aligns with real world use.
