Minimalist SPF 50 Sunscreen with niacinamide + vitamin b5 + vitamin f, broad spectrum, PA++++ for all skin types

The Minimalist SPF 50 Sunscreen is a highly popular and well-regarded sunscreen in India, known for its high protection factor combined with beneficial skincare ingredients. It’s designed to offer robust sun protection without the common drawbacks of traditional sunscreens like a white cast or heavy feel, making it suitable for daily use across all skin types.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High Sun Protection (SPF 50 & PA++++):
  • SPF 50: Provides very high protection against UVB rays, which are the primary cause of sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. An SPF of 50 means it would take 50 times longer for your skin to redden from sun exposure compared to not wearing any sunscreen.
  • PA++++: This is the highest level of UVA protection in the PA rating system (developed in Japan). It indicates extremely high protection against UVA rays, which are responsible for premature skin aging (wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity), sun spots, and long-term skin damage. PA++++ means you are 16 times more protected against UVA rays.
  • Broad Spectrum: This signifies that the sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
• Advanced UV Filters: Minimalist uses a blend of photostable, new-age UV filters (e.g., Uvinul T 150, Avobenzone, Octocrylene, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) that provide comprehensive and long-lasting protection. These filters are often sourced from reputable international suppliers (like BASF, Germany).
• No White Cast: A highly sought-after feature, this sunscreen is formulated to blend seamlessly into the skin without leaving any visible white residue, making it ideal for all skin tones, including darker complexions.
• Lightweight & Non-Greasy Texture: It has a very light texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a natural, moisturized, non-shiny finish. This makes it comfortable for daily wear, even for oily or combination skin, and can be worn under makeup.
• Enriched with Skin-Benefiting Vitamins:
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-tasking ingredient that helps to brighten skin tone, improve skin barrier function, reduce redness and inflammation, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and regulate sebum production.
  • Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Known for its deeply hydrating, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to maintain skin moisture, enhance skin elasticity, and calm irritation, making it beneficial for sensitive skin.
  • Vitamin F (Essential Fatty Acids – e.g., Linoleic and Linolenic Acid): These essential fatty acids are crucial for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. They help to strengthen the skin’s protective function, improve hydration, reduce dryness, and can soothe inflammation.
• Acne-Safe & Non-Comedogenic: The formulation is designed not to clog pores, making it suitable for acne-prone skin.
• Fragrance-Free & Essential Oil-Free: Adhering to Minimalist’s “Clean Beauty” philosophy, it is free from common irritants like added fragrances and essential oils, making it a good choice for sensitive skin.
• Dermatologically Tested: The product is clinically tested (including in-vivo testing according to ISO 24444:2019 standards) to confirm its SPF and PA ratings and overall safety.
• Suitable for All Skin Types: Due to its balanced formulation with high protection, non-greasy finish, and skin-benefiting ingredients, it is recommended for all skin types, including sensitive skin, dry, oily, and combination skin.
• Pregnancy/Lactation Safe: Advertised as safe for use during pregnancy and lactation due to its gentle and well-researched ingredient profile.
