First Aid Beauty recalls Coconut Vanilla version of hero face cream

The US Food & Drug Administration has given the recall its second highest risk classification due to its potential for ‘temporary adverse health consequences’

First Aid Beauty has voluntarily recalled almost 3,000 jars of the Coconut Vanilla version of its hero Ultra Repair Cream in the US.

The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) gave the recall of 2,756 units a Class II risk classification. 

The federal agency noted deviation from Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations as the reason for the recall in a document dated 21 January. 

It added that the “product intended for quarantine was inadvertently distributed”. 

The FDA defines a Class II risk as a “situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences”.

According to the document, the recall was initiated 23 December 2024.

The affected products, which were distributed across the US, have the lot numbers 24D44 and 24D45, and expiration dates of 10 and 11 April 2026.

All recalls involve 14oz jars of the Coconut Vanilla scented Ultra Repair Cream (original, unscented version pictured).

First Aid Beauty’s colloidal oatmeal-based cream claims to relieve dry and distressed skin, as well as eczema. 

It has been recognised by the National Eczema Association with a Seal of Acceptance.

The Procter & Gamble-owned skin care brand, headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, US, is not the first recall casualty of the year.

Earlier this month, a voluntary recall was issued for hair care player Amika’s Mirrorball High Shine + Protect Antioxidant Shampoo.

This was due to Pluralibacter gergoviae contamination.
