Overview
- The recalls cover Outside Beauty & Skincare SPF 50+ Mineral Primer (batches A1902 and 2586) and Salus SPF 50+ Daily Facial Sunscreen (batch A1770).
- The Therapeutic Goods Administration says early testing indicates the products’ base formulation is unlikely to meet SPF 50+, with results closer to about SPF 21.
- Both products are linked to the same base used in Ultra Violette’s Lean Screen, which has been tied to a growing list of withdrawals following earlier discrepancies.
- The regulator flagged significant concerns about SPF testing by UK-based Princeton Consumer Research Corp, and said Wild Child Laboratories has stopped using that lab.
- An inspection found no manufacturing faults at the facility; the TGA is updating lists of affected sunscreens and advises consumers to avoid and return recalled batches.
