ApprovedA next-generation chemical sunscreen using three EU-approved UV filters not yet FDA-approved in the US: Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Tinosorb M, position 4), Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus, position 7), and Ethylhexyl Triazone (position 10). Tinosorb M is considered the broadest-spectrum single UV filter currently available, offering both UVA and UVB coverage with exceptional photostability. The addition of Niacinamide (position 12) and Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (position 17) provides anti-darkening and antioxidant benefit. No Oxybenzone, no Octinoxate, no Avobenzone. PA++++ (PPD >= 16) rating confirmed in-vivo. Allergen Free Fragrance present.

PA++++ (PPD >= 16) is the minimum recommended UVA protection for Indian conditions - UVA is present year-round and drives PIH in darker skin tones. Tinosorb M's exceptional photostability means it does not break down as quickly as older chemical filters in intense Indian sun - reapplication every 2 hours in direct outdoor sun is still mandatory, but filter efficacy degradation is slower. Niacinamide in the formula reduces post-UV inflammation that triggers PIH, highly relevant for Fitzpatrick III-V skin.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to review, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence review, 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 review.
In-vivo testing is stated; no published report but claim itself is appropriate.
Both filters are absent from the INCI list - confirmed.
Niacinamide and EAA add brightening mechanisms but no published efficacy data for this formula.

Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus, and Ethylhexyl Triazone all have excellent safety profiles: Tinosorb M does not penetrate skin, Uvinul A Plus does not generate concerning degradation products, and Ethylhexyl Triazone is photostable with no endocrine activity. No Oxybenzone, no Octinoxate - the two UV filters most frequently linked to endocrine disruption and marine toxicity. No parabens, no SLES. Allergen Free Fragrance (synthetic, not fragrance-free) is present. Disodium EDTA as chelator.
The UV filter selection is genuinely impressive. Tinosorb M is the broadest-spectrum single filter globally available, providing UVA + UVB coverage with exceptional photostability and no skin penetration. Uvinul A Plus targets long-wave UVA (which drives pigmentation) with no degradation concerns. Ethylhexyl Triazone stabilises the overall filter system. Niacinamide at position 12 reduces post-UV skin darkening. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid at position 17 provides antioxidant protection against UV-generated free radicals.
Good evidence for stated claims based on public information.
SPF 50 and PA++++ are stated as in-vivo tested - the correct standard. UV filter identities are disclosed in the INCI and all three are EU-approved. Niacinamide and Ethyl Ascorbic Acid concentrations are not individually disclosed. The 'Glow' claim is experiential. No published SPF test report is publicly accessible.
“SPF 50 PA++++ (in-vivo tested)” In-vivo testing is stated; no published report but claim itself is appropriate.
“No Oxybenzone / No Octinoxate” Both filters are absent from the INCI list - confirmed.
“Brightening / Glow” Niacinamide and EAA add brightening mechanisms but no published efficacy data for this formula.
In-vivo SPF and PA++++ testing is stated - above average for the Indian market. No published SPF test certificate or clinical brightening study is accessible. The UV filter selection (Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus, EHT) has established efficacy and safety data in published literature, though not for this specific formula.
SPF 50 PA++++ is clearly stated. In-vivo testing claim is communicated. The next-generation EU filter system is explained on the product page. Niacinamide and EAA concentrations not individually quantified. Allergen Free Fragrance presence not prominently disclosed as synthetic fragrance.
