Yes, every Maxiblock sunscreen carries an AUST L number and is listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). This means each product has been assessed for safety, quality, and efficacy by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

The majority of our range is broad spectrum SPF 50+, which is the highest rating available in Australia. Our Mineral Zinc Cream is SPF 50. All products provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

All Maxiblock sunscreen is made in Australia. We've been manufacturing here since 1979 and have no plans to move production offshore.

Maxiblock sunscreen has a shelf life of approximately three years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly. We recommend keeping stock in a cool, dry place below 30°C and rotating inventory first-in, first-out. For more detail, read our bulk sunscreen buying guide.

No. Maxiblock products are not tested on animals.

Both are SPF 50+ and 4-hour water resistant. The key difference is that the Outbacker formula includes DEET insect repellent, making it a dual-purpose product for outdoor workers, tradies, and anyone in environments where both sun protection and insect repellent are needed. The Essential range is a standard everyday sunscreen without insect repellent.

For most workplaces, the Essential 500mL or 1L pump is the go-to — it's easy to place at sign-in areas, lunch rooms, or toolboxes. For outdoor sites where insects are a problem, the Outbacker with DEET gives dual sun and insect protection in one product.

Our 500mL and 1L pump bottles are designed for shared use in workplace settings. If you need wall-mounted dispensers or a custom solution, get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
