Canadians gearing up for summer should double-check their sunscreen supply for a recalled brand that could cause health risks.

Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation

The recall includes products with the following details:

• NPN: 80109790

The skincare company issued an urgent recall notice on May 24 for multiple shades of its sunscreen foundation due to product separation causing an unusual odour and higher-than-acceptable levels of microbiological mould.

It is unknown how many tubes of the sunscreen were sold in Canada.
