Eclipse Solaire delivers on its core promise of a high-performance, cosmetically elegant mineral sunscreen, backing its ambitious claims with visible clinical data and a well-engineered formula, making it a strong contender in the Indian market.
₹499 • Analysed 11 October 2026
Eclipse Solaire Active Physical / Mineral Sunscreen is well-positioned for the Indian market, offering high SPF 50 PA++++ protection crucial for high UV environments. Its 'no white cast' and 'non-greasy' claims are highly relevant for Indian skin tones and humid climates, where traditional mineral sunscreens often struggle. The inclusion of antioxidants like Vitamin C and Niacinamide adds value for consumers concerned with pigmentation and barrier health. While the 'India's lightest' claim could face ASCI scrutiny without comparative data, the overall formulation and visible evidence for SPF/UVA are strong. The price point of Rs.16.63/ml for the 30ml variant is competitive for a mineral sunscreen with these claims and active ingredients.
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.
Brand claims 'Clinically tested and in-vivo tested'. An independent review cites 'In-vivo SPF: 53' (ISO 244 test on 10 subjects) and 'In-vitro SPF: 54' from two different labs, and 'Critical wavelength: 380 nm' indicating broad-spectrum UVA coverage. This provides strong clinical backing for the SPF and PA claims.
Widely claimed across platforms. User reviews on Nykaa frequently praise the absence of white cast. An independent review states 'White cast zero, I could hardly notice any' after testing on combination skin. This is supported by the use of micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Claimed as 'India's lightest'. While 'lightest' is hard to definitively prove without comparative studies, the formulation with micronized mineral filters and silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Caprylyl Methicone) supports a lightweight, non-greasy feel. User reviews often mention it feels light and absorbs quickly.
Consistently claimed across platforms. The INCI includes emollients like Caprylyl Methicone and C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, which are known for a light, non-greasy feel. User reviews frequently confirm a non-greasy finish.
SPF 50 PA++++ indicates broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The 'Critical wavelength: 380 nm' cited in an independent review further supports genuine broad-spectrum UVA coverage. Ingredients like Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol and Scenedesmus Rubescens Extract are known antioxidants that can help mitigate damage from blue light and IR, supporting the intent of 'full light protection'.
Claimed as 'water resistance' and 'sweat-resistant'. An Instagram post by a dermatologist mentions '98% sweat-resistant'. While specific test methodology for water/sweat resistance is not fully detailed, the presence of film-forming polymers (Acrylic Acid/Acrylamidomethyl Propane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer) and silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer) in the INCI supports the formulation's intent for water resistance.
Claimed on the brand's product page. While no specific non-comedogenic test report is publicly visible, the formulation avoids heavy occlusives and uses micronized mineral filters, which are generally less likely to clog pores. This claim is plausible for a well-formulated mineral sunscreen.
Claimed across multiple platforms. While 'dermatologist recommended' is a marketing claim, 'dermatologist tested' implies some form of professional oversight or testing. The product is manufactured by Yuderma Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company, which lends credibility to professional testing.

“Lightest Physical SPF / Ultra-light mineral texture”
The claim 'India's lightest' is an absolute claim that would require disclosed comparative methodology and study to be fully compliant with ASCI guidelines.
Brand claims 'Clinically tested and in-vivo tested'. An independent review cites 'In-vivo SPF: 53' (ISO 244 test on 10 subjects) and 'In-vitro SPF: 54' from two different labs, and 'Critical wavelength: 380 nm' indicating broad-spectrum UVA coverage. This provides strong clinical backing for the SPF and PA claims.

Evidence visible
Widely claimed. Mineral sunscreens are generally considered suitable for sensitive skin. However, the presence of Rosehip Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and Olive Oil, while beneficial for some, can be sensitizing for very reactive skin types. A patch test is advisable for highly sensitive individuals.
Mentioned only
Sunscreen is fundamental for preventing premature skin aging. The product's high SPF 50 PA++++ provides excellent protection against UV-induced aging. Additionally, the inclusion of antioxidants like Vitamin C and Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol further supports this claim by combating free radical damage.
