What’s wrong with sunscreen?

[-] wintermute@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 month ago

There's nothing wrong with sunscreen in general, but they are probably referring to what happened recently in Australia:

Independent analysis by a trusted consumer advocacy group has found that several of Australia's most popular, and expensive, sunscreens are not providing the protection they claim to, kicking off a national scandal.

And the lab issuing the fake results is based in the US :(

...a single US-based laboratory had certified at least half of the products that had failed Choice's testing, and that this facility routinely recorded high test results. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-04/questions-over-lab-that-tested-sunscreen-spf-claims/105458458

The metal oxide kind was fine but had some non effectiveness issues about damaging marine coral. The other kinds are less reliable.

when that happens we can fill them with oil

Obviously with the caveat that it doesn't matter if you're not going in the ocean.

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

you realize that’s how it works right?

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Lots of people use sunscreen every time they're in the sun for a while. Not just the beach. And not all beaches are the ocean.

ah yes water is notorious for staying in place
