QV Suncare Sensitive Protect
SPF 50+, broad spectrum, lotion. AUST L 529259, from Ego Pharmaceuticals 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.
