URGENT RECALL
Aspect Sun Physical Range
As previously communicated, Advanced Skin Technology is investigating the SPF ratings of our Aspect Sun Physical Sun Protection SPF50+ and Aspect Sun Tinted Physical SPF50+.
While we are awaiting the completion of independent testing, preliminary results suggest that the SPF level of these two products is unlikely to meet the labelled SPF rating.
As a brand committed to sun safety and skin health, we are not satisfied with these outcomes and wish to act immediately. We have been working closely with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and are now implementing an Urgent Recall on the two products below.
Affected product | Batch Numbers | AUST L | Expiry Date |
Aspect Sun Physical Sun Protection SPF50+ | A2450, A2190, A1958, A1492 | 365276 | All current |
Aspect Sun Tinted Physical SPF50+ | A2451, A2191, A1976, A1629 | 389983 | All current |
Please note: No other products in the Aspect Sun range are impacted and these remain available for sale
What does this mean for our customers?
For those who have purchased products from the batches listed above, whether through our website or a retail partner, you’ll be eligible for a refund.
Our clinics and retail partners are advised to cease the sale of the impacted products.
We recommend that consumers cease using the product, as a lower than labelled SPF rating may increase the risk of sunburn during use and reduce the long-term effectiveness of preventing skin cancer.

No. This Urgent Recall applies only to Aspect Sun Physical Sun Protection SPF50+ and Aspect Sun Tinted Physical SPF50+. All other products in the Aspect Sun range remain unaffected.
An independent laboratory with recognised ISO 24444 expertise is verifying current batches. Our in-house Regulatory and Quality Team is reviewing and assessing all results.
Manufacturing of these products has been paused pending completion of independent testing. After receiving the results, the focus will be on evaluating suppliers and processes to confirm product quality and efficacy.
We are having all our sunscreen products, physical and chemical-based, independently tested, and have committed to ensuring these products are reviewed every 18 months to ensure all current and future batches are as effective as claimed on the label.
We are currently assessing our suppliers and processes to ensure we have the highest level of control regarding the quality and effectiveness of our products moving forward.
