Oxybenzone & OMC Free Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++
Cult-favourite Indian sunscreen built deliberately without oxybenzone, octinoxate (OMC) or avobenzone.

Our Take
One of the first Indian sunscreens to lead on what is excluded — no oxybenzone, no octinoxate, no avobenzone. The filter system uses Tinosorb S and the newer Tinosorb A2B (Tris-Biphenyl Triazine), which are photostable and broad-spectrum. PA+++ rather than PA++++ is the trade-off. Worth knowing it does still contain octocrylene, which some people are reactive to. A genuine option for those concerned about reef-safety claims, though we'd note that any chemical sunscreen has some debate in this area.
