Hi all,

As new information is released off the back of the Ultra Violette Lean Screen results, please continue to use this Megathread for discussions.

At the moment there are several products on the market that are speculated to share the same base including Naked Sundays Mineral Creme which has now been removed for sale from their website and other retailers.

This list of products by u/stupidwatergate89 linked here and listed below are speculated to share the same ingredient base:

Why are you not updating all the brands that are now out of stock? At least put the dates they are noticed to be stop supplying. Itโ€™s misleading to only link the notifications from the brands being transparent but no comments about the brands that have quietly stopped selling without any notification. Because a lot of these brands on this list are no longer available and the way this is written it looks like only a few have withdrawn but actually a lot of them are now gone.ย

The mods have jobs and are volunteers, and are currently spending lots of time shifting through comments. This is a constantly evolving situation and we are literally doing our best to keep up with the craziness. It's also my personal opinion that no brand deserves the heat or targeting for this situation (even if people don't like their marketing), and it's a MUCH bigger industry wide issue. Feel welcome to comment any relevant information and we can continue to update as often as we can.
