Plain-English summary
Higher Education Make Out Ready Vegan Lip Balm, SPF 15, manufactured by Eco Lips, Inc and distributed by Higher Education Skincare, is being recalled due to mislabeling of its active ingredients. The affected product is a 0.15 oz (4.25 g) tube with Lot 93400-21200.
The label lists Octinoxate 7.5% and Oxybenzone 3% as the active ingredients. However, the actual product contains Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 5%, and Avobenzone 3%. Consumers are therefore not informed of the actual active ingredients in the product.
