What the Australian Sunscreen Council Gets Right — And Why We Built ThermaSun
At ThermaSun, we believe the Australian Sunscreen Council has been right all along: sunscreen safety should be evidence-based, standards should be high, and protection should actually be used by everyday Australians.
For too long, quality mineral sunscreen has been priced out of reach for most families, workers, and schools. We created ThermaSun to change that.
Here are six principles the Australian Sunscreen Council continues to champion — and how we’re putting them into practice:
1. Safety Should Be Evidence-Based
The Council has consistently backed ingredients with strong scientific data. Non-nano zinc oxide has one of the most robust safety profiles available. That’s why every ThermaSun product is built around premium Australian-made non-nano zinc oxide.
2. Australian Manufacturing Matters
Products made locally are held to some of the world’s toughest standards. We manufacture ThermaSun in Brisbane because we believe Australians deserve full confidence in the quality and transparency of what they put on their skin.
3. Broad-Spectrum Protection Should Be Standard
Effective sun protection needs to work against both UVA and UVB. We formulate every ThermaSun sunscreen as a true broad-spectrum mineral product, using zinc oxide as the sole active UV filter.
4. Protection Only Works If People Can Actually Use It
Even the best sunscreen fails if it’s too expensive to use properly. We built ThermaSun to remove that barrier. Our sunscreens start from just $4.99 RRP, with larger 240g and 1kg pump formats designed for real families, job sites, and high-usage environments.
5. The Future Favours Mineral Filters
As regulators review chemical UV filters, mineral options like zinc oxide are increasingly recognised as the more future-proof choice. We developed ThermaSun specifically to give Australians an affordable, high-quality mineral alternative that aligns with where expert guidance is heading.
6. High Standards Should Be Accessible
The Australian Sunscreen Council advocates for safe, effective sun care that serves everyone. At ThermaSun, we believe quality mineral protection shouldn’t be a premium product. That’s why we made it genuinely affordable without compromising on performance or standards.
The Bottom Line
We didn’t create ThermaSun to be another expensive zinc sunscreen. We created it because we believe the Australian Sunscreen Council’s principles only matter if people can actually follow them.
High-quality, Australian-made, non-nano zinc protection — now at a price that makes sense for real life.
