Standard Procedure — Australian Sun Protection Built for the Outdoors
Standard Procedure is born from the Australian sun — quite literally. The brand is made on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, a few minutes from the beach, by a team that understands what serious UV exposure does to skin and what serious sun protection needs to deliver. The brand's name is itself a statement of intent: applying SPF should not be exceptional behaviour in Australia — it should be standard. The products are built around that philosophy: high-performance, broad-spectrum sun protection formulated with Australian superfruits and ingredients that do more than just block UV while doing it.
Standard Procedure SPF50+ products use Australian-grown ingredients including superfruits containing Vitamins A, B, and C alongside papain and bromelain — natural enzymes that help protect against free radical damage, reduce skin irritation and redness, and support the skin's barrier function. The result is sun protection that actively benefits the skin rather than simply sitting on it. The range covers SPF50+ face and body sunscreen, after sun care, body wash, moisturiser, and the cult-status SPF50+ lip balm enriched with mango butter and vitamin E. At Gentleman & Son we stock the full Standard Procedure range available in Australia. Free delivery Australia-wide on orders over $50.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Standard Procedure made?
Standard Procedure products are made on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia — minutes from the beach. The brand's proximity to the ocean and the Australian sun is not just a marketing story; it reflects a genuine understanding of how Australian UV conditions affect skin and what high-performance Australian sun protection needs to deliver. Made in Australia, for Australian conditions.
What makes Standard Procedure sunscreen different from standard sunscreens?
Standard Procedure's point of difference is the inclusion of Australian superfruit extracts — containing Vitamins A, B, and C alongside the natural enzymes papain and bromelain — alongside its SPF50+ UV filters. These ingredients help protect against UV-generated free radical damage, reduce skin irritation and redness, and support the skin's barrier function. Most sunscreens block UV radiation; Standard Procedure also actively supports the skin's response to sun exposure through these additional actives.
Is Standard Procedure SPF50+ sunscreen suitable for the face?
Yes — Standard Procedure SPF50+ is formulated for use on both face and body, and is suitable for all skin types. The formula is also listed as suitable for children from 6 months of age (always patch test first), making it a genuinely versatile family sunscreen. For dedicated daily facial SPF use, the lightweight formula applies comfortably under other grooming products without heaviness or greasiness.
What is the Standard Procedure Lip Balm SPF50+ made from?
The Standard Procedure Lip Balm SPF50+ is enriched with mango butter — a deeply conditioning emollient — and vitamin E, a protective antioxidant. The formula provides broad-spectrum SPF50+ UV protection alongside genuine lip moisturisation with a natural coconut flavour. It is the most practical daily lip protection available for Australian conditions, combining the moisturising benefits of a quality lip balm with the UV protection that Australian sun exposure demands.
