A further two sunscreens have been pulled from shelves amid sun protection claim concerns.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has recently expanded its sunscreen recall list to include two products: the Outside Beauty & Skincare SPF 50+ Mineral Primer and the Salus SPF 50+ Daily Facial Sunscreen. This action stems from worries that the actual sun protection factor might not match what is advertised on their packaging.
It’s the latest chapter in the saga sparked by a June Choice report that claimed more than a dozen popular sunscreens “failed” to meet their own SPF claims.
Earlier, in August, Ultra Violette proactively removed one of its items from stores and initiated refunds for customers. This decision followed the discovery of “concerning discrepancies” in the results of SPF testing.
Founders Rebecca Jefferd and Ava Matthews issued a statement apologising that the product had “fallen short of the standards we pride ourselves on”.
You can find a full and regularly updated list of the sunscreens using the Ultra Violette Lean Screen formulation on the TGA website.
There is also a list of the recalled sunscreens using the Wild Child base formulation on the TGA website.
