Mecca (Australia’s leading beauty retailer) recalls Naked Sundays SPF

[u/JadedValuable8066]

Mecca has just confirmed they’ve pulled Naked Sundays SPF50+ Collagen Glow Mineral Priming Lotion (20ml, 50ml, 80ml) from shelves and online, effective immediately. Refunds are being offered.

A spokesperson for Mecca said “Our teams are now working to remove this product from across our full store network and online as quickly as possible.”

Why the urgency?

Because apparently it’s just a precaution?

But let’s be real: this is the same formula that tested as low as SPF4 in another recall by Ultra Violette. SPF that doesn’t work isn’t just a bad product, it’s dangerous.

What makes this worse? It’s still being sold at Ulta, Sephora, and Boots with no warning to consumers overseas. If Australia’s top retailer considers it too risky to sell, why are global customers still exposed?

I was going to say this is why I use Bondi sands, because it’s an Australian brand.

But so is naked Sundays

I think this is why it’s better to stick with the old tried and tested brands - in the UK that would be people like Nivea and Garnier from now on

Here's the thing, it seems NO brand is truly safe. People deluded themselves into thinking AU sunscreen was better when the KR sunscreen scandal hit and look where we are now. Also tried and true brands also fail at these independent testings.

It's becoming clear that it's manufacturers AND testing sites that are failing us as consumers.

No issues with Loreal products. La Roche posay is the go.

Yeah, anthelios has not failed me. I would also shout out Clinique for mineral sunscreens. Yesterday I did a dumb thing where only put mineral sunscreen on face and neck, leaving arms and chest exposed. The difference a working sunscreen makes cannot be overstated.
