MENTHOLATUM Australasia is recalling two batches of its Natural Instinct Kids SPF50 Clean Sunscreen 200ml topical cream and 50ml rollerball products after receiving reports that the sunscreen fluid is splitting into layers.
The TGA stated that when this happens, the medicinal ingredients that prevent sunburn are not properly mixed, so when it is applied, it may not offer the same protection.
Pharmacists should note that the two batch numbers are 98519 for the topical cream and 98518 for the roll-on, with expiry dates of Nov 2025.
Customers should be advised to check the batch numbers and not use the products, but return them to the place of purchase or contact the manufacturer, HERE.
