Another two sunscreens pulled from shelves over SPF concerns

A further two sunscreens have been pulled from shelves amid sun protection claim concerns.

Outside Beauty & Skincare SPF 50+ Mineral Primer and Salus SPF 50+ Daily Facial Sunscreen have been added to a list of recalled sunscreens by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) due to concerns the SPF "may be lower than what is claimed on their labels".

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.

The Salus and Outside Beauty & Skincare sunscreens have been added a list of eight sunscreens using the same base formulation as Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF 50+ sunscreen.

Ultra Violette pulled one of its products from shelves and offered customer refunds over "concerning discrepancies" in SPF testing results in August. 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.
