Aesop Protective Facial Lotion SPF50

SPF 50, broad spectrum, lotion. AUST L 406084, from Emeis Cosmetics Pty Ltd.

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

Against the TGA’s proposed limits

This sunscreen lists none of the three filters under review (homosalate, oxybenzone and 4-MBC), so none of the proposed limits would apply to it.

Where this comes from

Everything above is from this product’s entry on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods: ARTG 406084, Aesop Protective Facial Lotion SPF50. We read its public summary on 21 October 2026; the entry dates from 10 March 2023. The name on the shelf can differ from the register’s. If the label shows a different AUST L number, it’s a different formula. Spotted a mistake? Email hello@sunscreenfilters.com.
