About This Webinar
Long seen as the gold standard in sun safety, Australia has found itself in the glare of regulatory scrutiny. Recent issues surrounding sunscreen testing and classification have shaken consumer trust and forced the global beauty industry to confront an uncomfortable truth: How well do we actually understand the science, standards, and oversight?
Trust is everything. Testing controversies, regulatory shakeups, and high-profile recalls have sparked a far-reaching conversation. The recent sunscreen scandals shed light on the complexities of testing and require brands to rebuild consumer confidence by understanding the systems that shape it.
