While delivering on its promise of a matte, no-white-cast finish with good UV filters, Foxtale SPF 70's ambitious claims outrun its visible evidence, and a critical 'fragrance-free' claim is unfortunately contradicted by its ingredient list, leading to potential consumer confusion.
₹556 • Analysed 18 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's MRP is Rs.695, but it is frequently available at a discounted price of around Rs.556 across major e-commerce platforms, suggesting the discounted price is closer to its effective market value. The price per gram is on the higher side for a sunscreen, reflecting its high SPF claim. 6 marketing claims could draw ASCI scrutiny under India's advertising code; the ingredient list is the more reliable guide.
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.
No finished product ISO 24444 or equivalent test report publicly visible to substantiate the specific SPF 70 PA++++ rating. UV filters are present and high in INCI.
Formula contains Silica and Dimethicone, known mattifying agents, high in the INCI list.
The sunscreen uses modern chemical UV filters (Tris-Biphenyl Triazine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone) which are generally known not to leave a white cast.
Contains filters for both UVA (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Tris-Biphenyl Triazine) and UVB (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Tris-Biphenyl Triazine) protection.
UV filters provide UVA/UVB protection. Blue light protection is often attributed to certain filters or antioxidants (like Tocopherol, Rosemary Extract) but specific finished product evidence for blue light protection is not publicly visible.
No specific finished product non-comedogenic test report publicly visible. Formula contains ingredients generally considered non-comedogenic, but this is an inference.
Brand states 'Dermatologically Tested' but no details of the test (methodology, sample size, duration, results) are publicly visible.
No specific finished product water resistance test report publicly visible.
