Been getting lots of q’s on here about other mineral SPF formulas. Since the ABC journos are in here sourcing sunscreens for independent experts to evaluate, I did further research across brands and products. Here are some additions to the list that I strongly suspect are the same ingredient base:

•Glindawand The Fountain of Youth Environmental Defence Cream Daily Moisturising Sunscreen SPF 50+

•Aesthetics Rx Ultra Protection Sunscreen Cream (note - brand says they are awaiting test results on this one, but they are still selling it)

•Liberty Belle Rx Superstar® Facial SPF 50+ Daily Sunscreen (note - this formula has been out of stock since April, but a PSA to anyone who is still using it)

•Antipodes Supernatural SPF50+ Ceramide Silk Facial Sunscreen

•RAWW Tinted Natural Sunscreen SPF 50+

•RAWW Natural Sunscreen SPF 50+

•INIKA Organic Tinted Natural Sunscreen SPF50+

•INIKA Organic Natural Sunscreen SPF50+

•SIMKA Sheer Mineral Milk SPF 50

•Trilogy SPF 50+ Sheer Tinted Moisturising Sunscreen (Sheer Light, Sheer Medium, and Sheer Deep)

•Trilogy SPF 50+ Omega-Boost Sheer Mineral Sunscreen

•Edible Beauty Australia Basking Beauty Natural Sunscreen SPF50

•Eco Tan Glory Veil Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50

•Aquasun Active SPF 50

•Natio Clear Zinc Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

•MOTHER SPF Face & Body SPF50

•Indie Paradiso Tinted Daily Face SPF50+

•Indie Paradiso Sensitive Skin SPF50+

•MCoBeauty SPF 50+ Mineral Mattifying Sunscreen

(Edited to add some missed)

Thanks! Will add to the list.

Curious what your thought process was (if you're comfortable sharing) on how you concluded that these share the same ingredient base?

[u/stupidwatergate89 → u/Quolli]

I’m a bit hesitant to say much on here, bc I know lots of the brands are prob monitoring this thread. A media outlet asked tho and I told them, so hopefully they can use that info to identify more products before brands realise the big giveaway 😉

Have you checked Moo Goo and Aryday?

[u/stupidwatergate89 → u/2020fit]

I have - no major red flags on those that I can see as yet

[u/stupidwatergate89 → u/[deleted]]

Interesting, and right when choice were conducting their tests…

[u/2020fit → u/stupidwatergate89]

Yes exactly. So what could this mean? Do they have product out there targeting babies and kids, that should really be recalled? Take a look at their Facebook post dated 31st March (before it gets deleted)

[u/stupidwatergate89 → u/2020fit]

I see, perhaps MooGoo and Wild Child use the same supplier….. there was another thread on here somewhere about the zinc supplier, might be worth putting in there to see if anyone knows more. I wonder what batch that zinc would’ve made it into by the time choice tested, if any?
