FDA MedWatch – Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation (Multiple Shades) by Suntegrity Skincare

TOPIC: Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation (Multiple Shades) by Suntegrity Skincare: Recall – Due to Microbial Contamination

AUDIENCE: Consumer, Health Professional, Dermatology, Pharmacy

ISSUE: Suntegrity Skincare is recalling nine lots of Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation (Multiple Shades) 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 has decided to voluntarily recall these additional lots: 107IV, 107NU, 109NU, 117BU, 113SA, 114SA, 106BR, and 101MO even 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.

To date, no adverse event reports had been received at the time of the recall.
