This Conscious Chemist mineral sunscreen offers a thoughtful, active-rich formula for broad-spectrum protection, but greater transparency on its SPF/PA testing data would elevate its credibility further.
₹242 • Analysed 11 October 2026
This 100% mineral sunscreen is well-suited for the high UV index and often humid conditions in India, offering SPF 50 PA++++ protection. Its formulation with barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide is beneficial for Indian skin types prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The price point of Rs.399 for 50ml is competitive, especially with frequent discounts, making high-level mineral protection accessible. While the brand claims 'in-vivo tested' for SPF, the absence of a publicly available detailed report means consumers rely on the brand's assertion for this critical claim.
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 INCI lists only Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide as UV filters, supporting '100% Mineral'. The SPF 50 PA++++ claim is a clinical claim. A YouTube review mentions 'in-vivo tested as per the SPF skin', suggesting finished product testing, but no detailed report (sample size, methodology) is publicly visible on brand channels.
Supported by the presence of Zinc Oxide (broadest range sunscreen) and Titanium Dioxide in the INCI. The PA++++ rating also indicates high UVA protection. As with SPF, a YouTube review mentions 'in-vivo tested' for SPF, implying broad-spectrum testing, but no detailed report is publicly visible.
The brand states it's 'engineered with ultra-fine Zinc Oxide particles' to achieve this. User reviews on Nykaa are mixed, with some confirming 'zero white cast' and 'ultra-light fluid', while others report it as 'heavy and oily' or leaving a 'slight whitecast'. A YouTube review notes 'initial white cast but it settles much better than the traditional mineral sunscreen'. This suggests a formulation effort to minimize white cast, but individual experience varies.
Mineral filters (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) are generally considered less irritating than chemical filters. The formula includes soothing ingredients like Bisabolol, Allantoin, and Cica Exosomes (Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles), and Niacinamide which is beneficial for acne-prone skin. The brand states mineral sunscreens are 'generally non-comedogenic'. No specific non-comedogenic testing report is publicly visible, but ingredient profile supports the claim.
Mineral sunscreens (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) are widely recommended as safe for pregnant women and children due to minimal skin penetration. The INCI confirms only mineral filters are used.
Niacinamide is present in the INCI and is well-researched for oil control and barrier strengthening. Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles (Cica Exosomes) are also present and known for soothing properties. The ingredients are present above the 1% line (before Phenoxyethanol), suggesting meaningful concentrations.
The INCI lists Niacinamide, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine, and Cholesterol, all known for barrier support. These ingredients appear before the 1% line, indicating potentially effective concentrations.
Broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ protection is designed to prevent tanning and premature aging caused by UV exposure. This is a standard benefit of effective sunscreen.

Evidence visible
The INCI includes Trimethylsiloxysilicate, a film-forming silicone known to enhance water resistance in sunscreens. A YouTube review states it is 'fairly true because of the film forming system, not absolutely sweat free'. No specific water/sweat resistance test report (e.g., ISO 16217) is publicly visible.
Evidence visible
The formula contains Niacinamide (known for oil control) and film-forming agents. User reviews are mixed, with some noting a 'soft dewy finish' and others finding it 'heavy and oily'. This suggests the matte claim may not hold for all skin types, especially very oily skin in humid conditions.

This review evaluates brand claims against visible evidence and formula logic. It does not replace a full ingredient safety analysis or a clinical product test. Results vary by individual, and the consumer should always read the full ingredient list and follow usage guidance.
