Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation Recalled for Microbial Contamination

Suntegrity Skincare voluntarily recalled nine lots of its Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation (Multiple Shades) due to microbial contamination.

The May 24 recall was based on its discovery of a higher-than-acceptable microbiological mold count (Species: Aspergillus Sydowii) in some tubes of Lot 115BU that developed post-release and over time in a recent test.

Out of an abundance of caution while investigating the situation, the company voluntarily recalled these additional lots: 107IV, 107NU, 109NU, 117BU, 113SA, 114SA, 106BR, and 101MO, though all original and recent test results received have come back clear.

A topical product that is found to be contaminated with Aspergillus Sydowii could potentially cause an allergic skin reaction and related symptoms. It could also cause a primary fungal skin infection if used on open wounds or sunburned skin. If it is introduced into the eye, eye infections may occur.

A primary skin infection due to Aspergillus species in an immunocompromised individual should be treated medically. No adverse event reports had been received at the time of the recall.
