₹351 • Analysed 20 October 2026
The Arata Anti-Grey Hair Serum is positioned as a solution for premature greying, a concern for many Indian consumers. Its water-based, ultralight texture is well-suited for India's often humid climate, preventing a heavy or greasy feel. While the brand makes strong quantified claims, the reliance on ingredient-level studies for finished product efficacy may draw ASCI scrutiny, especially for 'up to 86% reduction in greys' and 'visible results within 90 days' claims. The price point of Rs.351-449 for 30ml positions it in the mid-to-premium segment for hair serums in the Indian market.
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.
Claimed to be 'clinically backed' and 'clinically studied' with specific percentages. However, the brand's YouTube disclaimer states 'All claims are backed by clinical studies done in individual ingredients.'. The brand website mentions 'Lab reports. Clinical trials.' with download links, but the content of these finished-product studies is not publicly visible for verification.

Claimed to restore natural pigmentation. Evidence is stated to be from 'individual ingredients'. Finished product evidence is not publicly visible.
A time-bound claim. The brand website mentions 'restore natural pigmentation within 90 days'. However, the evidence is stated to be from 'individual ingredients', not a finished product study over 90 days.
Percentages for these key actives are explicitly disclosed across multiple platforms and by Dermatocare.
These ingredients are present in the reconstructed INCI. General ingredient research supports their role in hair health, but specific finished product evidence for this serum's strengthening claim is not publicly visible.
MelanoGray and Silverfree are associated with antioxidant properties and reducing hydrogen peroxide buildup. This is ingredient-level evidence, not finished product evidence.
This is the core functional claim. The actives (MelanoGray, Silverfree, Arcolys) are designed for this purpose, but the evidence is stated to be at the ingredient level.
