While offering good UV protection and a pleasant finish, this sunscreen's core claims about Niacinamide and Vitamin C are not supported by its ingredient list, leading to significant consumer confusion risk.
₹699 • Analysed 1 September 2026
This sunscreen offers SPF 50 PA+++ protection, which is highly suitable for India's high UV index conditions. The tinted, no-white-cast formula is a significant benefit for Indian skin tones (Fitzpatrick III-V) and helps avoid the ashy look common with mineral sunscreens. However, the prominent claims of Niacinamide and Vitamin C are not supported by the retrieved INCI, which is a transparency concern for Indian consumers seeking active-rich 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.
UV filters (Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) are present high in the INCI, supporting broad-spectrum protection. However, no finished product SPF/PA test report is publicly visible.
Niacinamide and Vitamin C, prominently featured in the claim, could not be confirmed from the retrieved INCI list. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) is present but is not the claimed hero actives.
The INCI lists both chemical (Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) and physical (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) filters, supporting broad-spectrum protection.
The INCI includes various iron oxides and mica, which are colorants and pearlescent pigments, indicating a tinted formulation designed to prevent white cast.
The formula includes light emollients like C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate and Coco-Caprylate, which contribute to a lightweight feel.
The formulation appears to use emollients and film formers chosen to minimize greasiness.
Glycerine and Betaine, both effective humectants, are present high in the ingredient list, supporting hydration.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, an ingredient with brightening properties, is present but after the 1% line. The prominently claimed Niacinamide and Vitamin C are not in the retrieved INCI.
