In an age where SPF claims are under the microscope, Ella Baché stands apart—not only as a pioneer but as a trusted performer. Originally launched in 1991 as "Lifesaver," their first sunscreen was tested on lifesavers at Whale Beach, NSW, and marked Australia’s first locally made suncare protection. Over three decades later, the brand continues to raise the bar, proving that skincare and sun care can—and should—exist as one.
While international names face increasing scrutiny over misleading SPF labelling, Ella Baché’s formulations are independently verified by Eurofins and Dermatest—two of the world’s most reputable labs also used by CHOICE and the TGA. This makes their SPF50+ range not just compliant but confidently reliable.
“Protection is just the beginning,” shares CEO Pippa Hallas. “Our sunscreens are designed to actively improve the skin—hydrating, brightening, and delivering antioxidant benefits with every application.”
With only 55% of Australians using sunscreen daily, Ella Baché is rewriting the SPF narrative—transforming it from a beachside afterthought into a skincare essential. Each formula is thoughtfully created to suit Australian conditions while addressing real skin needs.
Among the standout performers is the Sportsbloc Great SPF50+ ($43.00 AUD), a water-resistant shield formulated with silicone oils to lock in hydration, making it a go-to for outdoor sports and beach days. The Active Lotion Great SPF50+ ($43.00 AUD) offers a fast-absorbing blend of lanolin, macadamia, and olive oils, perfect for active bodies needing hydration and long-wear sun protection.
For the face, the Great SPF50+ FaceSaver Lotion ($54.00 AUD) combines antioxidants like vitamin E, green tea, and grape seed extract for a non-sticky, dry-touch finish that enhances barrier strength. Or try the Active Face Great SPF50+ Lotion ($60.00 AUD), which layers beautifully under makeup while keeping sensitive skin protected all day.
Prefer a touch of tint? The Superfluid Great SPF50+ offers sheer coverage, glow-enhancing hydration, and four versatile shades enriched with aloe vera and green tea to nourish as it protects.
Made in Australia. Backed by 70+ years of salon expertise. Proven by independent labs. This is the new gold standard of SPF.
