A well-formulated sunscreen for daily protection, but consumers should temper expectations regarding active dark spot reduction and look for instrumental evidence for its 'clinically proven' claims.
₹495 • Analysed 12 October 2026
This sunscreen is priced competitively at Rs. 495 for 50g, positioning it as a mid-range option in the Indian market. Its robust blend of chemical and physical UV filters is well-suited for India's high UV index, offering broad-spectrum protection. While claims of 'clinically proven' and 'reduces dark spots' are ambitious and rely on consumer perception or ingredient-level evidence, the product's core function of sun protection is well-supported by its formulation. The 'fragrance-free' claim is a positive for Indian consumers sensitive to strong scents in humid conditions.
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.
While SPF/PA claims require specific ISO testing for licensing, no finished product ISO 24444/24443 test report or methodology is publicly visible to substantiate the exact SPF/PA value.
Brand website's 'Proof of the Code' section states '99% users agree it leaves no white cast' based on consumer perception data.
Brand website's 'Proof of the Code' section states '98% users agree it is non-sticky' and '97% users agree it is lightweight' based on consumer perception data.
Supported by ingredient-level research for Sodium Hyaluronate (hydration) and Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract (hydration, brightening). No finished product test for these specific endpoints.
UVA/UVB protection is supported by the presence of multiple UV filters. Blue light protection is supported by the ingredient Oxothiazolidine, but no finished product blue light protection test data is publicly visible.
The brand states 'clinically proven' but the visible evidence ('Proof of the Code' section) provides consumer perception data for texture/feel, not instrumental clinical data for core protective claims like SPF, PA, or blue light protection.
Brand states the product is dermatologically tested. No specific report details are provided, but this is a common claim for safety.
Brand states the product is non-comedogenic. No specific report details are provided, but this is a common claim for safety.
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 (33 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 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 3 known allergen(s) (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzophenone-3, Menthyl Lactate). 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.
Any proprietary 'complex' is broken down into its actual 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.

“Clinically proven”
The claim 'clinically proven' implies instrumental clinical data, but the publicly visible evidence is consumer perception data for texture, not instrumental data for the core protective functions (SPF, PA, blue light). This may be considered misleading under ASCI Chapter 1.1 (Truthful and Honest).
While SPF/PA claims require specific ISO testing for licensing, no finished product ISO 24444/24443 test report or methodology is publicly visible to substantiate the exact SPF/PA value.
