Accord Australasia is the peak industry body for the companies that make and supply sunscreen in Australia. We unite the industry, build consensus and give it a strong voice with regulators, government and the community. In sunscreen, that means advocating for testing, labelling and regulation that is robust, workable and backed by science, and supporting policies that encourage innovation, safety and consumer confidence. We equip our members with the knowledge and connections to meet Australia’s high standards, and we help Australians get accurate information about one of the most important health products they use.
Accord is the business owner of, and may trade under, other business names, including: Australian Sunscreen Council and Australian Sunscreen Association. We are aware of another organisation claiming to be the Australian Sunscreen Council and Accord has no affiliation with them.
