This mineral sunscreen offers a good base for sensitive skin, but its 'Silicone-Free' claim is false, and its core sun protection claims lack publicly visible finished product evidence.
₹699 • Analysed 11 October 2026
This mineral sunscreen with SPF 50 PA++++ is well-suited for the high UV index and humid conditions prevalent in India, offering robust protection without chemical filters. Its 'fragrance-free' and 'alcohol-free' formulation, combined with 'Dermatologically Tested' claims, positions it well for sensitive Indian skin types prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. However, the 'Silicone-Free' claim is directly contradicted by the INCI, which is an ASCI concern, and the lack of publicly visible finished product SPF/PA testing means consumers rely solely on brand assertion for its core function.
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.
Contains Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, which are mineral UV filters. However, no ISO 24444 or equivalent finished product SPF test report is publicly visible to substantiate the SPF 50 claim.
Contains mineral UV filters. No ISO 24442 or equivalent finished product PA test report is publicly visible to substantiate the PA++++ claim.
Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide provide broad-spectrum protection. However, no finished product test report is publicly visible to confirm the broad spectrum claim for this specific formulation.
Brand claims 'Dermatologically Tested'. Formula is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and uses mineral filters, which are generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.
Brand claims 'Dermatologically Tested'. Ingredients like mineral filters, silicones, squalane, and niacinamide are generally considered non-comedogenic.
Formula contains film-forming ingredients (silicones, polyacrylate crosspolymer-6) that can contribute to water resistance, but specific testing is required to substantiate this claim. No such test report is publicly visible.
Mineral filters (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) are known to leave a white cast. While formulation techniques can minimize this, the claim is subjective and no specific evidence (e.g., consumer perception study, instrumental data) is publicly visible.
Formula contains silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer) and light emollients (Isononyl Isononanoate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate) which typically contribute to a lightweight texture.
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 (13 of 20 ingredients matched); no cosmetics-prohibited ingredient found.
Cyclopentasiloxane: D5 bioaccumulates in aquatic environment
No IARC-classified or formaldehyde-releasing ingredient found in the database screen.
Irritation & Allergen Risk
No EU-declarable or database-flagged allergen found in the list.
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.
Sustainability & Ethics
Brand makes a cruelty-free / PETA claim.
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.

“Silicone-Free”
This claim is directly contradicted by the product's INCI list, which contains silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer). This is a misleading claim under ASCI Chapter 1.1 (Truthful and Honest Representation).
“No harmful chemicals”
This is an absolute and vague claim ('No harmful chemicals') that lacks a clear definition or verifiable basis, potentially misleading consumers about the safety of other products. This falls under ASCI Chapter 1.1 (Truthful and Honest Representation) and Chapter 4.1 (Misleading claims about safety).
