Sikkens costs more, because it is top-of-the-range. It contains the best ingredients. e.g. UV absorbers - which are expensive (like =A330 a Kilo), so the more you put in the formulation, the more the product costs - but the better the protection you get.
For lower priced, but good quality alternatives look at Sadolin (made by the same people as Sikkens) or Ronseal.
