Lotus Herbals Sun Block (SPF 30, PA++)


This sun block is more suitable for Normal to Oily skin and combination skin. It’s quite difficult to get the right product for such skin types.  As in case of combination skin centre panel of your face becomes greasy and on the remaining part you feel dry. However, sometimes even normal skin tends to secrete oil as the day progress.



This cooling Sunscreen is perfect for an Indian skin as we are biased towards lighter skin tone. Its anti-tan formula filters ‘tanning rays’ (UVB) which prevents from skin darkening and sunburn.The Sun Crème is UVA balanced with PA++ degree and protects from sun caused wrinkles. It is formulated with natural extracts of Vanilla and Calendula.These herbs are antiseptic and have soothing effect.  The Sun Protecting Factor (SPF) of the gel is 30.

USP of the product:
1. Get absorbed quickly in the skin.
2. Gel based light and non- greasy lotion.   
3. Can be used as pre-makeup base.
4. Suitable for fairer skin.
5. A perfect day Moisturizer and can be applied throughout the year.
6. Calendula oil rejuvenates sun damaged skin. 
Some unpromising points of the product:

1. On application you may feel burning sensation.
2. Offering price of the product is too high, Rs195 for 60 ml.
3. The gel is not waterproof, so over sweating will remove the coat from your skin.
