Skin Shady
SPF 50, broad spectrum, cream. AUST L 491946, from York St Brands 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 | % |

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
