Why is this different?

The Gel sunscreen has a very lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin leaving no white cast. This broad spectrum sunscreen has a high SPF 55+ and PA+++ rating to provide the necessary Sun protection. Apart from the chemical filters, it is filled with hydrating agents such as phospholipids & glycerin to provide the necessary hydration to the skin.

How Does it Work on the Skin?

• Benzophenone-3 absorbs and scatters the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays giving broad-spectrum protection in combination with other UV filters.
• Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane is a potent sunscreen agent that protects against photoaging and tanning. 
• Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate boosts sun protection factor by protecting against UVB rays
• Phospholipids & glycerin enhances the penetration of actives and also help maintain hydration levels and elasticity of the skin.

How to use?

• Apply on the face & neck in the morning routine & at least 15 minutes before stepping out in the sun. 
• Use after a moisturiser & before using makeup
• Reapply when needed for continued protection.

1. Is gel sunscreen physical or chemical based?
   Gel sunscreen is a chemical sunscreen that contains chemical UV filters which work by absorbing UV rays, converting them into heat and release from the skin surface.
2. What skin types can use chemical sunscreen?
   Although suitable for all skin types, chemical sunscreens should be carefully used by people with sensitive skin conditions since it may cause certain light reactions such as inflammation or redness.
3. How is chemical sunscreen better over physical sunscreen?
   Chemical sunscreen is designed to get absorbed and hence spreads and works smoothly on the skin without the skin feeling greasy or sticky. Also it does not leave any white cast when applied.
4. Should I use sunscreen only in the summer?
   Sunscreen should  be used everyday and should be a part of your daily skincare regimen, not just in summer. You are exposed to UV radiations everyday when you step out. Hence, applying sunscreen is mandatory despite the season.
5. How long should a 50gm sunscreen last?
   If you use sunscreen generously everyday on your face and neck  it will last for around 1-1.5 month.
6. Can I apply makeup over sunscreen? Will it cause any pilling?
   Yes, you can put on make up after applying sunscreen on your face. Applying makeup above sunscreen will not cause any pilling. Just make sure that  the sunscreen sits well on your skin for about 5 minutes and then apply make-up.
7. Is it safe to use methoxycinnamate?
   Methoxycinnamate is generally considered safe to be used in sunscreens but should be avoided by pregnant and lactating mothers.
8. Can this product be used by pregnant or lactating mothers?
   No, this product should not be used by pregnant or lactating mothers as it contains chemical sun filters.
