Benzene is a human carcinogen. It is not an ingredient in this sunscreen but is sometimes used in the manufacturing processes. The TGA requires a limit of benzene below a concentration of 2 parts per million. Johnson & Johnson detected benzene at concentrations less than 3 ppm in two of 17 batches supplied in Australia.
