An urgent recall has been issued for an ultra-popular face cream that was distributed by accident and could cause “serious health consequences.”

First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream, which is priced at $50 for a 14oz pot, has a Tiktok cult following, with thousands of beauty experts singing its praises for its hydrating benefits.

But the FDA says nearly 3,000 ‘unfit’ pots of the coconut vanilla scented edition have been accidentally distributed and consumers have been warned to check which batches they have.

The affected 14oz bottles have lot numbers 24D44 and 24D45, with expiration dates between 10/4/2026 and 11/4/2026.

The company has not revealed what is wrong with the affected batches, but the FDA has assigned the recall a ‘Class II’ risk, meaning that using the cream ‘may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.’ ‘.

Consumers who have the product are urged to stop using it immediately due to the risk of side effects.

The Coconut Vanilla version of the Beauty First Aid Repair Cream contains a blend of oats, shea butter, and allantoin, which is a common ingredient in skin care for its moisturizing properties.

The active ingredient is 0.5 percent colloidal oatmeal, which is ground oat powder in liquid form.

Dr. Gowri Kabbur, who is a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic, describes colloidal oatmeal as an “excellent skin protectant” that can “very well hydrate inflamed or irritated skin.”

Those with an oat allergy are advised to avoid the product.

But Dr. Kabbur points out that “in general, colloidal oatmeal is well tolerated and rarely has side effects.” It is safe for children and adults.

The FDA recall notice does not specify how Beauty First Aid Repair Cream could cause harm.

It simply states that the product was “intended for quarantine.”

In line with ‘good manufacturing practice’ for pharmaceutical products, all items must be ‘stored under quarantine until they have been tested or examined, whichever is appropriate, and released.’

However, 2756 jars of Coconut Vanilla First Aid Beauty Repair Cream slipped through the net and accidentally went to the market.

First Aid Beauty, based in Newton, Massachusetts, makes a range of skin products to help with conditions including aging acne and eczema.
