The other wild portion of this is that if you go to northern EU (Norway/Sweden/Finland) sunscreen is like, insanely expensive. Like at least triple the price of what you would pay in the states for the same product.
- scotty79 4y agoMaybe part of that is that there's not much sun there so sunscreen is a niche product not a staple?
- s1artibartfast 4y agoThe opposite actually. Having a high latitude, summers are more intense.
- copperx 4y agoThat's crazy, especially because sunscreen in the us is absurdly expensive. $30 for a 8oz tube is borderline criminal.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoI'm not sure if you're looking at some crazy marked up amazon price, but my local grocery sells it for less than 1/3 of the price you mention: https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-ultra-sunscreen-spf-30-8-oz/1535311 https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-ultra-sunscreen-spf...
- akdor1154 4y agoMan.. i should start trading aus sunscreen for finnish mozzie repellent. Any finns into global small-scale logistics?
- herbst 4y agoDidn't they ban all the chemicals that are easily washed off and hurt the natural environment?
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoYes, at least that was the reason I was told it was very expensive. I'm not sure if it's a country wide ban or EU wide ban.
