Homosalate-free sunscreens in Australia

Keep using sunscreen. The TGA says its benefits far outweigh any risks, and nothing here says a product is unsafe: the limits are proposals.

582 sunscreens on the register don’t list homosalate as an active ingredient. Many use octocrylene, avobenzone and octisalate instead; others are mineral, with zinc oxide. Each is listed with its own filters and their percentages, so you can see what’s in it rather than what isn’t.

Want kids’ products only, or no oxybenzone either? Filter the table or see kids’ sunscreens without homosalate.
