Hamilton face sunscreen is 45% off at Chemist Warehouse. Not quite as good as 50% off Sept 2023 but it isn't often heavily discounted
AUST L 408954 (May 2023 version)
Active ingredients: bemotrizinol 10 mg/g, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane 50 mg/g, ethylhexyl triazone 50 mg/g, octocrylene 30 mg/g
Here is the formula breakdown of the Aldi Ombra face sunscreen and the Hamilton Everyday face 2023 formulas. Note that ingredients after the sunscreen filters are sorted by alphabetical order, not concentration. You can see that the formulas are almost identical, except for the iron oxides added to Hamilton, which gives it the slight tint. Aldi sunscreen still wins in terms of value for money (price/ml) but it may be sold out by now since it only comes out once a year.
