This mineral sunscreen offers good protection and soothing benefits for sensitive skin, but its 'fragrance-free' claim is undermined by the inclusion of a natural fragrance ingredient, requiring careful consideration for truly reactive users.
₹900 • Analysed 24 September 2026
This mineral sunscreen is well-suited for the Indian climate, especially for sensitive skin types prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, as mineral filters are generally less irritating. The stated pH of 5.5 is skin-friendly. At Rs.30.00/ml, it is positioned at the premium end of the Indian sunscreen market. The 'Fragrance-free' claim is contradicted by the presence of Lemongrass Oil, which is an ASCI concern for a product targeting sensitive 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.
The product is formulated with Zinc Oxide, Aloe Vera, and Panthenol, which are known for soothing properties. pH 5.5 is skin-matched. 'Patch-tested on Indian skin' is stated, supporting suitability for sensitive skin.
INCI lists Zinc Oxide as the primary UV filter, confirming mineral base. The mechanism of deflection vs. absorption is inherent to mineral filters. The claim about preventing heating/stinging is a known benefit of mineral filters for sensitive skin.
INCI lists Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Panthenol, and Sodium Hyaluronate. These ingredients are known for soothing and hydrating properties. Their presence supports the claim.
Zinc Oxide is present in INCI. The 'Booster Technology' and specific protection against blue, visible, and infrared light are ambitious claims. While Zinc Oxide offers broad-spectrum UV protection, specific efficacy against blue/visible/IR light requires specialized testing, which is not detailed. 'Patch-tested on Indian skin' supports suitability for sensitive skin.
SPF 50 is a quantified claim. The brand states 'Patch-tested on Indian skin' and 'Dermat-led', implying testing, but no specific ISO 24444 or equivalent SPF test report is publicly visible. The presence of Zinc Oxide supports UV protection.
pH 5.5 is explicitly stated on the product page. This pH is within the healthy skin range, supporting the 'skin-matched' claim.
The INCI list does not contain 'Parfum', 'Fragrance', or common fragrance allergens. Cymbopogon Flexuosus Leaf Oil (Lemongrass Oil) is listed, which is a natural fragrance component and potential sensitizer, contradicting the 'Fragrance-free' claim.
The INCI does not list traditional 'oils' (e.g., mineral oil, common plant oils high in concentration). However, ingredients like Coco-Caprylate, C15-19 Alkane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride are emollients. The 'non-comedogenic' claim is generally based on ingredient profiles and/or testing, but no specific test data is provided.
