Urgent Recall: Tinted SunscreenCoast shoppers urged to stop using immediately.

Urgent recall for People4ocean SPF 50+ Mineral Bioactive Shield Lightly Tinted Cream.


MBIE says preliminary testing shows the product’s SPF is unlikely to match the label, increasing sunburn risk and reducing long-term protection against skin cancer.





If you’ve got any batch, don’t use it.


Return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact customer service to arrange a return and refund.


Anyone worried about use should speak to their doctor.


The product was sold from February 2024 to September 2025 via Holistic Aesthetics and Advanced Cosmeceuticals.





People4ocean confirms a low SPF rating raises sunburn risk and says customers can return affected product for a refund.


Coasties can expect stores to handle returns promptly, though keep proof of purchase if you have it.


Check bathroom cabinets, let friends know, and replace with a trusted SPF product that meets your needs.
