ODM Sunscreen Manufacturers & Factories for the Australia Market

For primary sunscreens classified as therapeutic goods in Australia, our factory provides complete batch traceability, validated analytical assay methods for active UV filter concentrations, and detailed stability validation reports consistent with PIC/S GMP and ICH guidelines. We partner directly with Australian Sponsor agents and ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratories to facilitate seamless eBS registration and Listed Medicine (AUST L) compliance.

Primary sunscreens have the primary purpose of skin photoprotection (SPF 15 to 50+) and fall under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. Secondary sunscreens are cosmetic products where sun protection is a secondary claim—such as SPF moisturizers, sun-defense foundations, and lip balms with SPF. Secondary cosmetics are regulated under the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS). We formulate both tiers, tailoring documentation to whether your SKU will be registered as a cosmetic or therapeutic good.

Our formulation architecture utilizes volatile siloxanes combined with synthetic polyurethane-based and acrylate/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer film formers. Upon skin application, volatile carrier components evaporate, leaving behind a flexible, breathable, microscopically thin hydrophobic mesh. This mesh locks active UV filters firmly against the stratum corneum without heavy occlusive waxes that trigger acne.

Yes. By utilizing pharmaceutical-grade, surface-functionalized Non-Nano Zinc Oxide with tight particle-size distribution curves (d50 ~ 130 nm), our high-shear dispersion systems disperse inorganic pigments uniformly within lightweight ester vehicles. This matches the refractive index of the dispersion phase to keratinized skin, eliminating the back-scattering of visible light that causes white chalkiness.

Anhydrous sunscreen sticks engineered for the Australian climate must survive ambient heat exposure exceeding 45°C. We construct a multi-tiered wax matrix balancing high-melting-point natural carnauba wax, synthetic beeswax, and ozokerite alongside branched-chain polymers. This optimizes structural drop-point resistance (thermal stability up to 55°C) while maintaining effortless gliding shear during room-temperature application.

For custom turnkey ODM projects utilizing in-house stock packaging components, our entry-level MOQ begins at 3,000 to 5,000 units per shade or SKU. For custom-molded packaging or bespoke therapeutic formulations, MOQs typically range from 10,000 to 20,000 units. Initial custom formula sampling takes 7-14 business days; mass production runs conclude within 25-35 days following final artwork and raw material sign-off.

Yes. Our clean sunscreen library excludes all banned filters, including Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3), Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate), Octocrylene, and 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor. We use non-ecotoxic, biodegradable emollients and Non-Nano Zinc Oxide to safeguard coral reef marine biodiversity across Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia.

Clean beauty demands gentle, non-irritating preservative systems. We use hurdle technology: combining multifunctional preservative boosters (such as Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and Pentylene Glycol) with low water-activity formulations and airless packaging. Every batch undergoes rigorous ISO 11930 and USP 51 microbial challenge testing to ensure total product sterility over a 3-year shelf life.
