SPF 50, broad spectrum, cream. AUST L 417263, from Galderma Australia 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.
Active ingredients
| Ingredient | On the ARTG as | Amount | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc oxide Mineral | zinc oxide | 250 mg/g | 25% |
Percent by weight: the ARTG gives each active in mg per gram, and 10 mg/g is 1%.
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 417263, Cetaphil Daily Defence Cream SPF50. We read its public summary on 21 October 2026. 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.
