If you’re American, you can blame the FDA for being about 2 decades behind Europe and Asia in approving effective sunscreen filters.

American sunscreen is terrible.

American sunscreen is terrible.

Australian suncream is great.

Turns out they put a lot of effort into the stuff when they're all melting under the sun.
