While the formula appears well-suited for its purpose, the brand's 'No Silicones' claim is a direct contradiction of its own ingredient list, creating significant consumer confusion and undermining trust in other claims.
₹699 • Analysed 11 October 2026
This mineral sunscreen offers SPF 50 PA+++ protection, which is crucial for India's high UV index. Its silicone-heavy, non-greasy formula is well-suited for the tropical and humid climate, aiming to avoid a heavy feel. However, the explicit 'No Silicones' claim is a significant ASCI concern as it directly contradicts the INCI, potentially misleading consumers. The price of Rs. 699 for 50g (Rs. 13.98/g) positions it at the higher end of the mass-market segment for sunscreens, which is common for mineral formulations.
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 require specific in-vivo/in-vitro testing (e.g., ISO 24444 for SPF, ISO 24443 for PA/UVA-PF). No such finished product test reports are publicly visible to support this claim.
This claim requires specific critical wavelength testing for the finished product. No such test reports are publicly visible.
Zinc Oxide is a known broad-spectrum UV filter. Thermus Thermophillus Ferment has ingredient-level research for blue light protection, but no finished product test for this specific sunscreen is publicly visible.
The brand claims 'Dermatologically Tested', which often includes non-comedogenicity testing, though specific test details are not provided. The formula contains silicones which are generally considered non-comedogenic.
Water resistance claims require specific in-vivo testing (e.g., 40 or 80 minutes). No finished product test reports are publicly visible to support this claim.
The formula uses silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) which aid in dispersion and spreadability, potentially reducing white cast. The 'Dermatologically Tested' claim often includes cosmetic acceptability. User reviews are mixed, with many praising the lack of white cast.
The formula is primarily silicone-based (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) which are known for their lightweight feel. User reviews generally support this.
The silicone-rich formula contributes to a non-greasy finish. User reviews generally confirm this.
