To Save Face Matte Sun Serum SPF50
SPF 50+, broad spectrum, lotion. AUST L 521272, from Mecca Brands Distribution 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 521272, To Save Face Matte Sun Serum 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.
