Ultra Violette Velvet Screen SPF 40 Blurring Mineral SKINSCREEN: not SPF 50 in the US, no bemotrizinol, and a 2025 SPF 50 recall
People look for this product as Velvet Screen SPF 50. The US version is SPF 40. That is the number on Ultra Violette's own US store, and the number in the brand name on its FDA filing. An earlier SPF 50 Velvet Screen was distributed nationwide in the United States. In August 2025 Grace & Fire, the firm named in the FDA's recall record, recalled lots of it after testing gave SPF results from 4 to 64, and its listing, NDC 84803-106, is no longer in the FDA's drug directory. Our sunscreen recall list has the details.
The second thing worth knowing: Velvet Screen is a mineral sunscreen, zinc oxide only. It does not contain bemotrizinol, the filter the FDA added in 2026. On September 7, 2026 it also had a working add-to-cart while the brand's two bemotrizinol products did not. Re-checked September 20, 2026: Velvet Screen is still in stock, and Unblock Screen is on sale again. Fave Screen is still waitlist-only.

Two filings, two different zinc oxide numbers
The FDA register holds two entries under this product name, filed by two different companies, and they do not state the same concentration.
| Filed by | NDC | Register date | Zinc oxide as filed | Sizes filed | SPF in the filed name |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grace and Fire USA Inc. | 84803-115 | 2026-05-27 | 250 mg/mL (25%) | 50 mL | SPF 40 |
| Wild Child Laboratories PTY Ltd | 30807-1060 | 2024-12-01 | 22.75 g/100 mL (22.75%) | 15 mL, 50 mL | None stated |
Grace and Fire USA Inc. is the entity behind Ultra Violette's other US filings, including Unblock Screen and Fave Screen. Wild Child Laboratories PTY Ltd is an Australian company, and its filing is eighteen months older. We do not know which concentration is in the tube on sale today, and the label on the brand's US page does not give a percentage.
It is not the bemotrizinol one
Ultra Violette has two products on the FDA register that do contain bemotrizinol, and neither is this one:
- Unblock Screen SPF 50 - bemotrizinol 3%, $40 for 50 mL
- Fave Screen SPF 50 - bemotrizinol 5%, $38 for 50 mL
On September 7, 2026 the brand's US store showed both of those as unavailable, and Velvet Screen as in stock. The store also flagged Velvet Screen as low stock. That has changed for one of them. Re-checked on September 20, 2026, Unblock Screen has a working add-to-cart again, Fave Screen is still waitlist-only, and Velvet Screen is still in stock. If you came here looking for the new filter, the tracker lists every US product that has it.
Why the SPF numbers differ by country
SPF is measured on the finished formula under the testing rules of the market the product is sold in, and the number that may be printed is set by that market's regulator. A brand selling the same formula in two countries can therefore carry two different numbers on the tube. We report the number filed and sold in the United States, which is 40. We have not tested the product and we do not say what protection any number delivers.
What we could not confirm
- Which of the two filed zinc oxide concentrations is in the product sold today. The brand's US page does not print a percentage.
- Whether any US retailer other than the brand's own store carries it. Sephora's site returned a bot-protection page rather than search results on the day we checked.
- Shipping cost. We did not place an order, so $36.00 is the item price, not a total.
- Why the 2024 Australian filing and the 2026 US filing were both made, and whether the older one is still in use.
