When it comes to protecting your skin, the quality of your sunscreen matters immensely. While SPF numbers are the most visible measure, they only tell part of the story. Behind each product is a robust world of scientific validation and regulatory processes. These regulatory processes ensure sunscreens not only deliver on protection but do so with uncompromising safety and efficacy. Yet, the differences between global regulatory standards such as Australia’s TGA and the USA’s FDA are often not widely understood.
At Emma Lewisham, every product in our Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral range is certified by both the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia and the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unlike many global brands that create region-specific SPF formulas, ours remains exactly the same—globally. So why do some brands formulate differently for different regions and what sets global certifications like the TGA and FDA apart?
