Bondi Sands Pty Ltd is recalling two batches of Bondi Sands Mineral Zinc Sunscreen SPF50+ Face Lotion 60mL and Bondi Sands Mineral Zinc Sunscreen SPF50+ Body Lotion 120mL products after receiving reports that the sunscreen fluid is splitting into layers.
When this happens, the medicinal ingredients that prevent sunburn are not properly mixed and when applied, the products may not offer the same protection.

386665 | 98182 | Face lotion | 60mL | Nov 2025 |
386666 | 98181 | Body lotion | 120mL | Nov 2025 |
What is the problem?
When you apply sunscreen, the ingredients inside the medicine help to protect your skin from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) lets you know how well the sunscreen will protect you from the sun. Since UV rays can cause skin cancer, the protection offered by sunscreen is very important.
The affected batches of Bondi Sands Mineral Zinc Sunscreen SPF50+ is splitting into layers, meaning the ingredients are no longer properly mixed. When this happens, the SPF of the medicine changes and may not offer any protection at all.
What should I do?
If you have purchased Bondi Sands Mineral Zinc Sunscreen SPF50+ from the above batches, do not use it. Return the product to the place of purchase or contact info@bondisands.com.au to arrange the return or with any further questions you may have.
