WHY CHOOSING A
TGA Listed
Sunscreen Matters
When it comes to sun protection, not all sunscreens are created equal. A sunscreen bearing an AUSTL number issued by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) is a clear indication that it has been assessed in accordance with Australian regulatory requirements for safety, quality and SPF performance - making it suitable for everyday sun protection.

Australia holds sunscreen manufacturers to incredibly high standards. Being one of the few places globally where sunscreens are classified as therapeutic goods, it helps ensure that listed sunscreens meet stringent safety and performance standards. This rigor gives you the confidence that with Afterglow, you’ve chosen a sunscreen that meets Australia’s regulated standards for safety and sun protection.
A Few Other Considerations
Purposeful Protection
Afterglow sunscreens are Primary Sunscreens, meaning their main objective is to protect against the sun, while they might also serve secondary benefits like hydrating or priming.
Primary Sunscreens vs. Cosmetic Products with SPF
It’s important to understand that some cosmetic products may contain SPF ingredients, like some foundations, and may claim an SPF rating due to containing sunscreen actives. However, their main objective isn't sun protection, so they haven't been subject to the same rigorous testing as Primary sunscreens. For daily UV exposure, a TGA-listed Primary Sunscreen is recommended as part of a comprehensive sun protection routine.
How to Identify a TGA-listed Sunscreen
Look for an AUSTL number on the product packaging. This indicates the sunscreen is listed on the ARTG and regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. No number means it isn't TGA listed even if an SPF claim appears on the label.
So please, whether or not you decide to indulge in Afterglow Sunscreen, always make an informed choice. Prioritise TGA listed sunscreens and make them an indispensable part of your daily routine!
