ULTRA VIOLETTE LEAN SUNSCREEN RECALL

[JuanitaSarah]

This is a direct quote from the Ultra Violette website :

As a sunscreen brand, our responsibility has always been to prioritise your safety, protection and skin health above all else. It remains the basis for every decision we make, which is why when you heard from us last, we made a commitment to you that we would continue to investigate a concerning discrepancy in SPF testing results of our Lean Screen.

Before we go further, we want to make it clear that this only concerns the performance of Lean Screen. Additional testing on all Ultra Violette products has reinforced our confidence in the rest of our line.

We had multiple, independent labs conduct new tests of Lean Screen. This week, we received results from those tests that demonstrated significant and, candidly, atypical variability. Across eight different tests, Lean Screen has now returned SPF data of 4, 10, 21, 26, 33, 60, 61, and 64. That wasn’t good enough for us, and it isn’t good enough for you.

Given this pattern of inconsistency in testing, we have decided to withdraw Lean/Velvet Screen from the market, effective immediately. Purchases of this product will be eligible for a refund and a product voucher, regardless of where it was purchased.
