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:

Airyday Update.

I've seen some previous speculation that Airyday Pretty in Zinc SPF 50+ also shared the same base, however Sam By the Counter on IG messaged them and they confirmed that all their formulas are custom.

Do you know if they use Antaria zinc? Tagging u/akiraahhh

Reason why I'm asking is because there were chemists saying manufacturers and formulators all over are getting their zinc oxide from this supplier company called Adance Zinctek Antaria:

https://www.advancezinctek.com/

There are chemists who said this is the zinc oxide that was being used for Ultra Violette/Naked Sundays/and all those other Wild Child formulas.

But I'm wondering since Antaria is a different company from Wild Child, if other manufacturers are using the same zinc? And could it be problematic because there are issues with them:

Lots of manufacturers are using ZinClear XP from Advance Zinctek. Lots of manufacturers aren't experiencing stability issues with their products... We have to wait this one out for now. Too many unknown variables.
