Popular baby sunscreen recalled—what parents need to know

As parents, we do everything we can to keep our little ones safe—especially when it comes to protecting their delicate skin. If you recently purchased Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen, you may need to check your bottle.

Babyganics has voluntarily recalled two of its sunscreen products after routine quality testing detected the presence of a solvent that should not be in the formula. The company emphasizes that the impurity does not pose any health or safety risks, but the affected lots did not meet their internal quality standards.

“We are committed to ensuring the highest safety and quality standards for our products,” the company stated. “While the detected impurity does not pose a safety or efficacy concern, we believe this proactive step is the right one for our customers.”

Which Babyganics products are affected?

The recall applies to specific batches of the following products:

• Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Rollerball (Totally Tropical Scent)
• Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Continuous Spray (Totally Tropical Scent)

No other Babyganics products are included in this recall.

If you have one of the recalled sunscreens, the company advises discontinuing use and following the instructions for refunds or disposal outlined on their website.

What should parents do next?

According to Babyganics, there is no safety or efficacy risk associated with the impurity. The company is taking this step out of an abundance of caution to ensure all of its products meet its high-quality standards.

If you’ve been using the affected sunscreen on your child, there’s no need for immediate concern. However, Babyganics recommends that parents discontinue use and request a refund or replacement.

How to get a refund or replacement

Consumers can visit Babyganics’ recall website to check if their product is affected and request a refund. Many major retailers are also accepting returns of the recalled products.

Staying informed

Product recalls can be unsettling, but they also serve as an important reminder to stay informed about what we use on our little ones. To keep up with future safety alerts, parents can sign up for recall notifications through the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or check Babyganics’ website for updates on product safety.
