Bondi Sands Sunscreens Recalled for Inadequate UV Protection
14 Nov
Summary
- Bondi Sands recalls two sunscreen products due to texture issues
- Concerns that products may not provide adequate sun protection
- Customers advised to return affected batches for refund or replacement
On November 11, 2025, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced that Australian skincare brand Bondi Sands has recalled two of its sunscreen products. The affected products are the Bondi Sands Zinc Mineral Broad Spectrum UVA & UVB Protection Sunscreen SPF 50+ Face Lotion (60ml) and the Body Lotion (120ml).
The TGA stated that some of the products may have an "uneven texture" and "visible water separating out of the product," which could affect the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating and overall performance of the sunscreens. This means the ingredients are no longer properly mixed, potentially leading to inadequate sun protection for users.
Bondi Sands has advised customers who have purchased the affected batches, which are listed by the TGA, to return the products to the place of purchase for a replacement or full refund. The company has expressed regret for any inconvenience caused to its customers.
This recall comes just months after another sunscreen brand, Ultra Violette, had to pull its Lean Screen SPF Mattifying Zinc Sunscreen from shelves following alarming test results from Australia's consumer watchdog. The TGA has also named 20 additional sunscreens that contain the same base formula as the Ultra Violette product.
