Cheap is not the case everywhere. In Germany it's cheap, in the Netherlands it's much more expensive and in Croatia a bottle is like 25 Euro
In the US it's cheap but unregulated and full of shit that's terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that's better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen... meant for my face.
In the US it's cheap but unregulated
It’s the exact opposite actually.
US sunscreen is way worse than sunscreen in other parts of the world like the EU. It doesn’t block the harmful radiation as well. The reason is that it’s more strictly regulated in the US. IIRC it’s not considered a cosmetic product but instead it’s a medical product.
As such it’s subject to much stricter regulation and requires much more (expensive) testing before being allowed on the market. Due to this it’s considered too expensive to introduce the newer, more advanced sunscreen products in the US so you’re stuck with the older, crappier sunscreen.

I was in Berlin last month and spent €16.50 for a 50ml bottle
If the cream wasn't such a goddamn sensory nightmare...
UPF clothes FTW
"ball of fire"
Haha, no no. You threw down with a gigantic source of cell destroying radiation. The fire did no harm.
There's no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that's not what's happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it's cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared
My wife can spend all day in the sun and turn a nice shade of brown.
Not me. There is no "tan" for me. It's either pasty white or lobster with no middle ground whatsoever.

Every English tourist in Australia.
...and Florida, and Jamaica, and Mexico, and (I presume) Spain. There is no corner of the earth in which the English will not challenge the mighty Helios until they are as red as the cross of St. George.

I get a little pink from being outside for like ~20 minutes. That's not really hubris lol.
as a man I have the primal urge to pick a fight with the giant ball of fire in the sky, I lost this time but one day.
