This is just now coming to light but this is such a HUGE brand and product. Check your beauty counter!
On December 23, First Aid Beauty recalled 2,756 jars of its Ultra Repair Cream. According to the FDA, a deviation from Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations—which are essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products—was the reason for the recall.
“Product intended for quarantine was inadvertently distributed,” the agency said.
The FDA defines a recall as a “firm’s removal or correction of a marketed product that FDA considers to be in violation of the laws we administer and against which we would initiate legal action.”
On Tuesday, the agency gave the recall a Class II risk classification, which describes a “situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
The voluntary recall specifically affects 14 oz jars of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. Affected jars have lot numbers 24D44 and 24D45, with expiration dates between 4/10/2026 and 4/11/2026.
First Aid Beauty is also in the middle of a campaign to raise funds for California wildfire relief funds. A 6 oz jar of Ultra Repair Cream, with unique branding on the outside, is being sold on the company’s website for $38, with 50% of the proceeds going toward the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.
Those 6 oz jars are not included in the recall.
The popular cream is sold in stores including Sephora, and has become a viral hit on social media platform TikTok. Users there have praised First Aid Beauty’s products for soothing skin problems when other products don’t.
Anybody who has purchased First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream should check its lot number and expiration date, and contact the company by email if they have an affected jar.
