Cetaphil UVA / UVB Defence

SPF 50+, broad spectrum, cream. AUST L 294062, from Galderma Australia Pty Ltd.

Updated 21 October 2026

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

We read its public summary on 21 October 2026; the entry dates from 19 September 2017. 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.
