FDA Sets Second-Highest Risk Level

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday set the second highest risk level for a nationwide recall of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream.

First Aid Beauty voluntarily recalled 2,756 jars of the popular face moisturizer on Dec. 23, 2024 because the batch “intended for quarantine was inadvertently distributed,” according to the FDA.

The FDA cited the recall for deviations from the Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations, which ensure that a product is safe for use, and that it has the ingredients and strength it claims to have.

Given the violations, the FDA set the recall risk level at class 2, meaning that using the affected moisturizer “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” or that the possibility of serious adverse health consequences is “remote.”

The recall applies to 14-ounce jars of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, colloidal oatmeal 0.5%, with a Coconut Vanilla scent. Jars have the lot code 24D44 and an expiration date of April 10, 2026, as well as the lot code 24D45 with an expiration date of April 11, 2026.

The affected products were sold online, via First Aid Beauty’s website and Amazon, and distributed nationwide to stores such as Sephora, Ulta, and Target.

Consumers should check if their Ultra Repair Cream is part of the recall, and stop using it immediately if it is. Contact First Aid Beauty for a potential refund or replacement.
