This sunscreen offers good sun protection and brightening actives, but its claims regarding UV filter composition are directly contradicted by its ingredient list, raising serious concerns about transparency and claim integrity.
₹379 • Analysed 17 July 2026
India sees high UV year-round, so daily broad-spectrum protection (UVA/PA rating included) matters more here than the SPF number alone; reapply through the day in direct sun. The product has a consistent MRP of Rs.399 across major platforms, but is frequently available at a slight discount (Rs.379-380) on quick commerce and sometimes on beauty retailers, making its effective price per gram competitive for a sunscreen with active ingredients. 4 claims edge toward drug-like territory that India (CDSCO) treats as cosmetics-only, so read them as a cosmetic benefit, not a treatment.
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.
SPF 50 PA++++ claims are supported by 'In Vivo Tested' mention. However, the INCI lists older UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Benzophenone-3) which are not inherently photostable without specific stabilizers, contradicting the 'photostable UV filters' claim if referring to these. The brand website also mentions 'new-gen UV filters' like Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol in another section, suggesting conflicting information or an updated formulation not reflected in the full INCI found.
Supported by SPF 50 PA++++ rating and 'In Vivo Tested' claim. However, the presence of older UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Benzophenone-3) raises questions about the efficacy of broad-spectrum protection, especially UVA, if not adequately stabilized.
These are standard benefits of effective sunscreen, supported by the SPF 50 PA++++ rating and 'In Vivo Tested' claim.
Niacinamide is listed in the INCI and its 5% concentration is disclosed. Niacinamide has extensive ingredient-level research supporting brightening effects.
Supported by the presence of 5% Niacinamide, which has ingredient-level evidence for improving skin tone and reducing dullness.
Supported by 5% Niacinamide, which has ingredient-level evidence for improving uneven skin tone.
Supported by 5% Niacinamide, which has ingredient-level evidence for strengthening the skin barrier.
A cosmetic claim, plausible with the brightening effects of Niacinamide and the dewy finish claimed.

INCI order as declared on packaging. Position reflects approximate concentration (high to low).
“SPF 50 PA++++ with Photostable UV Filters”
SPF claims require CDSCO registration as a cosmeceutical and ISO 24444-compliant test evidence. 'In Vivo Tested' is mentioned, but no specific ISO 24444 report or registration details are publicly visible.
“Provides broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection”
UVA/UVB protection claims for SPF products require CDSCO registration and specific testing. 'In Vivo Tested' is mentioned, but no detailed report is visible.
“free from Octinoxate, Oxybenzone, and Avobenzone”
This is a false claim as the ingredients are present in the INCI, making it misleading advertising under ASCI Chapter 1.1 (Truthful and Honest).
“In Vivo Tested”
SPF/PA claims require specific in vivo testing. While stated, the lack of detailed report makes it difficult to verify full compliance with CDSCO guidelines for cosmeceuticals.
“water-resistant”
Water resistance claims for sunscreens fall under cosmeceutical regulations and require specific testing for CDSCO compliance.
