Why VeganicSKN Delivers Safer, Trustworthy SPF: Every Batch Tested, Every Claim Proven

At VeganicSKN, sun safety and customer trust are central to everything we do. We are the only sunscreen manufacturer in Australia to conduct in-vitro SPF testing on every batch. This sets us apart from competitors who mostly rely on intermittent in-vivo testing—a method that industry experts, including the Australian Sunscreen Council, now recognize as increasingly unreliable for confirming real-world SPF performance.​

What is In-Vitro SPF Testing and Why Does It Matter?

In-vitro SPF testing utilizes laboratory methods that adhere to ISO 24443:2021 standards. Each batch of VeganicSKN sunscreen is tested rigorously in controlled environments with solar simulators and spectral photometers. The results are delivered quickly and reproducibly—every product meets its promised protection before leaving our facility.​

This approach offers significant advantages:

• True batch validation: Every formulation, every time.

• Higher accuracy & reproducibility: Eliminates variability from human volunteer response in in-vivo methods.

• Consumer safety and confidence: Issues such as recent mass SPF failures in the Australian market are avoided.​

Industry Leadership and Ethical Sourcing

How do we deliver such reliable results? It starts with strict control of ingredients and processes:

• We only use zinc oxide supplied by Advance ZincTek, Australia’s FDA and TGA-approved producer. This guarantees purity and eliminates risks associated with imported, industrial-grade zinc oxide, which can be contaminated with heavy metals and lead to erratic SPF performance.​

  
  

Advocacy and Standards Expertise

Our CEO, Joseph Mizikovsky, sits on the Australian Standards committee for Sunscreens and is a proud member of the Australian Sunscreen Council. We continually advocate for improved safety, transparency, and global best practices in sunscreen manufacturing, including mandatory batch testing and reform of regulatory approaches that failed consumers—evident from the recent SPF recall of 21 products using unreliable in-vivo protocols.
