Despite its comfortable, sheer finish, this product's core identity as a 'Mineral Sunscreen' is contradicted by its hybrid chemical-mineral formula, and its quantified claims lack visible clinical evidence.
₹799 • Analysed 23 October 2026
This sunscreen's silicone-heavy, lightweight, and non-greasy formula is well-suited for India's hot and humid climate, preventing a heavy or pore-clogging feel. Priced at Rs. 15.98/g, it sits in the premium segment, which may be a consideration for Indian consumers given the lack of publicly visible clinical evidence for its quantified claims. The primary concern under ASCI is the 'Mineral sunscreen' claim, which is directly contradicted by the hybrid INCI, and the unbacked SPF 50 and water resistance claims.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to analyse, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence analysis, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of analysis.
While UV filters are present in the INCI, no finished-product SPF/PA test report (e.g., ISO 24444 compliant) is publicly visible to substantiate the quantified SPF 50 claim.
The high concentration of silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) and the presence of chemical filters alongside Zinc Oxide support a sheer, non-greasy feel.
The INCI lists multiple chemical UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Benzophenone-3) *before* Zinc Oxide. This is a hybrid sunscreen, not a purely mineral one, directly contradicting the product's name and core claim.
The formula's high silicone content (Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane) and volatile emollients strongly support a lightweight, non-greasy feel.
No specific water resistance test report is publicly visible to substantiate this time-bound claim.
The brand states 'dermatologist tested', which implies finished product testing, but no details of the testing methodology, population, or results are publicly visible.
No specific non-comedogenicity testing report is publicly visible to support this safety claim.
While Zinc Oxide is generally well-tolerated, the presence of multiple chemical filters, especially Benzophenone-3, can be sensitizing for some individuals. No specific mildness testing for sensitive skin is publicly visible.
What we could confirm from public sources and the verified ingredient list.
Ingredient Safety & Toxicity
Full ingredient list retrieved and verified against INCIDecoder.
Screened against the ingredient database (13 of 14 ingredients matched); no cosmetics-prohibited ingredient found.
Cyclopentasiloxane: D5 bioaccumulates in aquatic environment Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate: Most widely used UVB filter globally Benzophenone-3: Broad-spectrum UV filter Cyclopentasiloxane: D5 bioaccumulates in aquatic environment benzophenone-3: Oxybenzone - flagged endocrine-active; EU restricts concentration.
No IARC-classified or formaldehyde-releasing ingredient found in the database screen.
Irritation & Allergen Risk
Declares 2 known allergen(s) (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzophenone-3). Reactive skin should note these.
No high-sensitisation preservative (MI/MCI/formaldehyde-releaser) from our screen was found.
Brand claims dermatologist testing (claim stated; underlying report not seen).
Ingredient Transparency
The full INCI list is publicly available, not just hero ingredients.
Ingredients are listed in the descending order required by India Cosmetics Rules 2020.
Screened against a curated reference set that we are continuing to verify and expand, so “clear” means no flag from that set, not a guarantee. Not a substitute for a full toxicological or clinical assessment.

“SPF 50 protection against UVA/UVB rays”
Quantified claim (SPF 50) without publicly visible, verifiable study details.
“Mineral sunscreen”
The product name and marketing claim 'Mineral sunscreen' is misleading as the INCI clearly shows it is a hybrid formula with multiple chemical filters.
“Water-resistant for 80 minutes”
Quantified claim (80 minutes) without publicly visible, verifiable study details.
While UV filters are present in the INCI, no finished-product SPF/PA test report (e.g., ISO 24444 compliant) is publicly visible to substantiate the quantified SPF 50 claim.
Missing
The high concentration of silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) and the presence of chemical filters alongside Zinc Oxide support a sheer, non-greasy feel.
Mentioned only
The INCI lists multiple chemical UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Benzophenone-3) *before* Zinc Oxide. This is a hybrid sunscreen, not a purely mineral one, directly contradicting the product's name and core claim.

The formula's high silicone content (Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane) and volatile emollients strongly support a lightweight, non-greasy feel.
Mentioned only
No specific water resistance test report is publicly visible to substantiate this time-bound claim.

The brand states 'dermatologist tested', which implies finished product testing, but no details of the testing methodology, population, or results are publicly visible.
Evidence visible
No specific non-comedogenicity testing report is publicly visible to support this safety claim.
Missing
While Zinc Oxide is generally well-tolerated, the presence of multiple chemical filters, especially Benzophenone-3, can be sensitizing for some individuals. No specific mildness testing for sensitive skin is publicly visible.
Missing
The high silicone base, the presence of chemical filters, and the coating agent Triethoxycaprylylsilane for Zinc Oxide make this claim plausible for a sheer finish.
Mentioned only
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) is present in the INCI, but its position low in the list suggests a relatively low concentration, limiting its impact as a 'hero' active.
