Why the sunscreen is on its third formula

The first one tested at SPF 51 in a dry lab and lost two-thirds of that in four humid hours. We measured the same film every hour until a version held above 30. This is the one we sell.

What we tested, and what we haven’t

There are no customer reviews on this page. We launched in March and don’t have enough yet for them to mean much. Here is what a lab and 112 volunteers measured instead, including the one claim we can’t make yet.

  • Sunscreen · SPF, in vivo (ISO 24444)

    SPF 52.6 mean, labelled 50

    Independent lab, Whitefield · 10 volunteers · Jun 2026

  • Sunscreen · UVA protection (ISO 24442)

    PPD 17.8, which is PA++++

    Same lab · 10 volunteers · Jun 2026

  • Sunscreen · Water resistance

    40 minutes. Not 80, so we don't say sweatproof.

    Same lab · Jul 2026

  • Sunscreen · White cast on skin types IV to VI

    Gone within 3 minutes for 27 of 30 testers

    Our panel, Bengaluru and Chennai · 30 people · Aug 2026

    23% lower than the untreated arm

Three questions, one routine

No skin-type labels. Just how your face behaves by 2pm, what bugs you, and how long you’re out in the sun. Sunscreen is in every answer; the other two have to earn it.

Takes about 20 seconds.
