  • Roccoco Yaraay Day Cream - mislabeled sunscreen?

    Posted by MattTheChemist on October 17, 2025 at 2:39 pm

    After water, the second ingredient is zinc oxide. Wouldn’t such an item fall under the category of a mislabeled SPF?

    They even say, “Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide for invisible protection against pollution, infrared, blue light, and environmental stressors,” which is clearly sun protection language. And it’s a “day” cream. This brand out of Australia has made many egregious claims over the years, like a cleanser that “increases collagen,” and this cream seems to be yet another example of that. I could be mistaken, though. This is also being sold in the US market. I feel like the FDA would find this highly suspect…

      Thanks, Phil! It’s crazy how brands try to get away with this nonsense.
