That last paragraph. Oh my.
I hope the Cancer Council ones are fine.

Oooh yeah, according to Choice, only the kids sunscreen was 50+
But Cancer Council are running an independent test on their line. What do you think when two organizations you trust say different things?

To be honest, I would have trusted Cancer Council much more than Choice before this news challenged my trust (not because of any particular thing Choice has done). The ABC article today about the Princeton Consumer Research test and allegations of its results being concerningly homogeneous has just made this a bit more complicated.
