This tinted sunscreen offers a pleasant user experience and good ingredient profile for daily protection, but its most ambitious performance claims are not backed by publicly visible finished-product evidence.
₹495 • Analysed 10 October 2026
This tinted sunscreen is well-positioned for the Indian market, offering SPF 50+ PA++++ protection crucial for high UV conditions. The 'no white cast' claim, supported by its tinted nature, addresses a common concern for Indian skin tones (Fitzpatrick III-V). While the formula contains hydrating actives like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, the presence of Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) is a notable ingredient choice, as it is a UV filter with some regulatory restrictions and consumer concerns in other markets, though approved in India. The brand's claims of '72-hour hydration' and 'Water Resistant' lack publicly visible finished-product evidence, which could attract ASCI scrutiny for quantified and absolute claims.
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/PA claims are clinical and require ISO 24444 or equivalent in-vivo testing. No such finished product test report or summary is publicly visible.
The product is tinted with Ci 77491 and Ci 77492 (iron oxides) alongside Titanium Dioxide, which helps to counteract the white cast typically associated with mineral filters.
The formula contains emollients like Phenyl Trimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, and humectants like Glycerine, Sodium Hyaluronate, D-Panthenol, which contribute to a dewy feel.
Contains Sodium Hyaluronate and D-Panthenol (humectants) for hydration, and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) for brightening and antioxidant benefits. All are at meaningful positions in the INCI.
Contains multiple UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Benzophenone-3, Titanium Dioxide) for UVA/UVB. Blue light protection is a general claim often associated with broad-spectrum filters and antioxidants, but specific evidence for this product is not visible.
Water resistance claims require specific in-vivo testing (e.g., ISO 16217). No such finished product test report or summary is publicly visible.
Non-comedogenic claims require specific testing. While the brand states 'Dermatologist Tested,' no specific report or summary for comedogenicity testing is publicly visible.
The brand states the product is 'Dermatologist Tested,' which implies finished product testing. However, no details of the testing (methodology, sample size, results) are publicly visible.
What we could confirm from public sources and the verified ingredient list.
Ingredient Safety & Toxicity
Full ingredient list retrieved and verified against INCIDecoder.
Screened against the ingredient database (28 of 42 ingredients matched); no cosmetics-prohibited ingredient found.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate: Most widely used UVB filter globally Benzophenone-3: Broad-spectrum UV filter Cyclopentasiloxane: D5 bioaccumulates in aquatic environment Cyclopentasiloxane: D5 bioaccumulates in aquatic environment benzophenone-3: Oxybenzone - flagged endocrine-active; EU restricts concentration.
No IARC-classified or formaldehyde-releasing ingredient found in the database screen.
Irritation & Allergen Risk
Declares 2 known allergen(s) (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzophenone-3). Reactive skin should note these.
No high-sensitisation preservative (MI/MCI/formaldehyde-releaser) from our screen was found.
Brand claims dermatologist testing (claim stated; underlying report not seen).
Ingredient Transparency
The full INCI list is publicly available, not just hero ingredients.
Ingredients are listed in the descending order required by India Cosmetics Rules 2020.
Standards & Compliance
Usage warnings and directions are clear on the label.
Screened against a curated reference set that we are continuing to verify and expand, so “clear” means no flag from that set, not a guarantee. Not a substitute for a full toxicological or clinical assessment.
