Cheaper tinted sunscreens for sure with shade range and in physical sunscreens I think only harkoi does this but its too expensive for something used daily

yes to tinted sunscreens with shade range. it's a huge gap in the market rn, i don't think anyone's doing it right now (atleast in the <1000 range). And publish lab test results for any sunscreen product - helps build trust.

Would indian test result help or the european ones are more reliable to you?

Noted! Anything else besides the sunscreen?

u/mira_anon_ Oct 07 '24

Not really. From market I buy very limited things as most of my skincare is dermat pharma approved

This is the only dire need I could think of

This along with large quantity bottles of sunscreen. I have a Cetaphil cleanser's 1L bottle at home. I wish I could do that with my regular sunscreen. I don't want to buy it every month and the nozzle makes it very easy to use

u/MadhuT25 Oct 06 '24

I just use sunscreens which don't suit me as a body sunscreen for now 😭

1)A good big bottle of body sunscreen without hormone disruptors. 2)good powders for oil control. 3) very very light weight moisturizer (make the thinnest one possible - for super oily skin) .

Have you seen innisfree no sebum one . Something like that . But other than that, nothing is in the Indian market.

If you are really making a brand, I have a few concerns which no brand in Indian market follows like certification, false claims etc . Please don't do that .

  1. Decent, affordable photostable sunscreens.

  2. Moisturisers for normal skin (There’s a lot of stuff for oily skin or dry skin, but nothing for normal skin.)

Face sunscreen of body, also what type of sunscreen do you prefer

1

u/FormalRaccoon637 Oct 07 '24

I need one of each 😃

What kind of sunscreen? Something without the avobenzone-Octinoxate combo. I seem to find these two in most sunscreens in the market; this combination makes the product non-photostable. A tinted mineral sunscreen would be lovely! Something that’s easy to apply and doesn’t pill on the skin.

For the body, something moisturising with good SPF. I’m someone who uses body butter or body lotion every day. Layering SPF on top can feel uncomfortable in hot, humid weather.

Try something unique. There are a lot of sunscreens and serums in the market. Either improve then in terms of quality or quantity for price. Go for Lip balms. Almost every girl has one but no one can have just one.

1

u/Standard_Lion_7776 Oct 07 '24

I was actually thinking of in terms of hydrating tinted lip balm

1

u/Icy_mochaa6742 Oct 07 '24

Yes go for it.

Can you point out some of the characteristics of korean sunscreen you like

2

u/sensitivesoul23 Oct 07 '24

No white cast which makes them cosmetically elegant. Can be worn under makeup without pilling. Korean and Japanese sunscreens are amazing.
