The product’s SPF50+ and broad-spectrum status indicate that it has been assessed according to the applicable Australian sunscreen testing and regulatory requirements. The complete laboratory SPF and UVA test reports are not publicly supplied on the product page.

Because the formula contains both mineral Titanium Dioxide and multiple organic UV filters, it is most accurately described as a combination or hybrid sunscreen. It should not be merchandised as a 100% mineral or physical sunscreen.
