European sunscreen

I looked up different brands of sunscreen and was thinking that others could be interested. The brands are the most common (they were high up on the top list for a couple of different pharmacies) in Sweden, it might be different brands in other countries. Unfortunately I couldn't see where any of the sunscreen is produced when I search for the brands online.
The sunscreen from Apoteket is produced in Sweden and the one from Hjärtat is produced in Denmark according to the packaging.

In Germany the cheap store brands tend to have the best test results year after year. So I don't see a reason to buy any more expensive brands.
And are usually made locally too
I think I'll start using Änglamark (semi-store brand in the Nordics) this summer, they should be safe for aquatic life too. (Don't know if swimproof, but for the fishies and all - that's bigger concern for me)
// EDIT; I finally bought this and this is the first sunlotion that doesn't have the icky-suncreen-smell!! I have gotten multiple recommendations in the past years for non-smelling ones and those have always smelled the same.. Finally!
I normally just get what ever the shops own brand is
