New Zealand do not fuck about with sun safety.

Except we were kicking the can with sun screen regulation until 2022.

Until this law, sun screen lotion didn't have to prove that they actually provided the SPF that they claimed.

    Yeah I lived in Auckland for a bit, they don't care as much about sunscreen. More sun safety conscious than Pacific Northwesterners in my experience, but probably closer to that group than myself as a fair-skinned Aussie that's used to getting burnt after just sitting outside in the shade for awhile
