A highly effective sunscreen for daily protection and hydration, but manage expectations for its secondary claims of intensive barrier repair and wrinkle reduction.
₹499 • Analysed 21 October 2026
This sunscreen is well-suited for the Indian climate, particularly for those in humid conditions, due to its lightweight, non-greasy gel texture. Its SPF 50 PA++++ rating provides robust protection against high UV indices common in India. The price point of Rs.499 for 50g is competitive for a sunscreen with multiple active ingredients and a 'dermatologically tested' claim. The brand's claims are generally compliant with ASCI guidelines, with the exception of some ambitious anti-aging claims that lack specific finished-product clinical evidence.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to analyse, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence analysis, 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 analysis.
The INCI lists Sodium Hyaluronate and a robust blend of UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol) high in the list, supporting the SPF 50 PA++++ claim. The brand explicitly states 1% Hyaluronic Acid, and its INCI position is consistent with a meaningful concentration. Sunscreen claims typically rely on in-vitro or in-vivo testing, which the brand implies through its SPF/PA rating.
The INCI includes both UVA filters (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol) and UVB filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid), confirming broad-spectrum coverage. The PA++++ rating further supports strong UVA protection.
The formula uses only chemical UV filters, which are known for not leaving a white cast, unlike physical filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide). The gel format also contributes to a clear finish. This is a common and generally achievable claim for such formulations.
The gel texture, along with light emollients like Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isododecane, and Dicaprylyl Carbonate, supports a non-greasy feel. This is consistent with the formula's design.
Hydration is supported by humectants like Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, and the Aquaxyl complex (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol). Protection is provided by the UV filters. This claim is well-supported by the ingredient list.
This claim indicates the product has undergone testing under dermatological supervision. While no specific study details (sample size, duration, results) are publicly visible, the claim itself suggests finished product testing has occurred.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain 'Parfum' or any common fragrance ingredients, supporting this claim.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain 'Alcohol Denat.' or 'Ethanol', supporting this claim.
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 (29 of 43 ingredients matched); no cosmetics-prohibited ingredient found.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate: Most widely used UVB filter globally
No IARC-classified or formaldehyde-releasing ingredient found in the database screen.
Irritation & Allergen Risk
Declares 1 known allergen(s) (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate). Reactive skin should note these.
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.
Active percentages are disclosed for the hero ingredient(s).
Ingredients are listed in the descending order required by India Cosmetics Rules 2020.
Standards & Compliance
Usage warnings and directions are clear on the label.
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.

Evidence visible
The formula contains ingredients generally considered non-comedogenic, and the light gel texture is suitable for acne-prone skin. However, no specific non-comedogenicity testing report is publicly visible.
Mentioned only
The INCI lists multiple Ceramides (EOP, NG, NP, AS, AP) which are crucial for skin barrier function. However, they appear after Phenoxyethanol (the ~1% line), suggesting lower concentrations. While ceramides are excellent for barrier support, a 'repair' claim at these concentrations might be an overstatement without finished product evidence.

Public evidence the brand could provide to close verification gaps
