Hey all! I’m thinking about creating a spf product that is TGA approved with skin enhancing properties (sounds like a $$ journey I know). Would love to know what you desire in sunscreen and what you’re willing to compromise on.
Some suggestions
Form factor
Active ingredients
In case anyone else is wondering why the Cancer Council BB Cream (purple tube) has started disappearing from shelves and from the CC website, it’s not being discontinued just reformulated!
I emailed CC asking about it and got this response back today:
“Our BB Creams are being reformulated. The new formulas have now been produced and will be available in the market soon.
As a result, the existing formulas have been removed from our website and are being cleared to make way for the updated versions, coming soon!
Please feel free to check back with us for updates. Thanks for supporting Cancer Council.”
Great news as far as I’m concerned!
Would love to know if it is in fact a matte sunscreen and if it gets greasy and stings eyes at all? Thank you!

i recently got diagnosed with rosacea type 1, and got recommended to use a mineral sunscreen. i normally use chemical ones since i have very dry skin and i need something hydrating and that works well under heavy makeup. does anyone know any mineral sunscreens for that? or maybe chemical sunscreens safe for rosacea?
i’ve been using cancer council face days wear serum spf50+, and i think it’s okay if i don’t use it on my really sensitive days. but i’m always open for more options to try :) any price point is fine at this point.
I have oily, acne prone AND sensitive skin which makes finding skincare a bit of a nightmare lol. Has anyone tried this sunscreen or any of the other Avene sunscreens? Or do u have a recommendation for sunscreen suited to my skin type?
Trying to find a new sunscreen before summer rolls around. I usually find sensitive sunscreens too heavy, and sunscreen for oily skin too irritating😫
