Suntegrity Skincare has issued a recall of its Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation. According to the brand's recall announcement, there were “higher than acceptable levels” of a type of mold called Aspergillus Sydowii found in some tubes of the tinted sunscreen.
Nine lots of sunscreens are being recalled “out of an abundance of caution” despite testing on eight additional lots coming back clear.
Suntegrity has also stopped selling its tinted Sunscreen Foundation entirely until a cause of mold contamination is found.
According to the company’s notice, no adverse events have been reported. However, consumers are advised to stop using the product, which was sold online and in stores.
The report stated, “This recall was initiated due to separation, off odor, and growth of a common mold (species: Aspergillus Sydowii) in some tubes of Lot 115BU months after proper initial batch release testing.”
Suntegrity Skincare also said that the mold has the potential to cause allergic reactions. Most reactions caused by Aspergillus Sydowii “generally clears after cleansing the skin and discontinuing the use of the product. It could also cause a primary fungal skin infection if used on open wounds or sunburned skin.”
