Lotus Herbals Safe Sun 3-In-1 Matte Look Daily Sunblock SPF 40 PA+++ : Review

Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly

Summer is on the way and so are the ‘tan-worries’. My previous sunscreen, the Neutrogena one that I reviewed some weeks ago is on the verge of getting over. So, I recently got myself the 3-In-1 Matte Look Daily Sunblock SPF 40 PA+++ from Lotus Herbals. This is not at all a new product for me; it is my fourth repurchase to be precise. In my today’s post I will present my experience with this product that I have been adoring for so long. To get a sneak peak about how it works on me, read on.

Ingredients

Water, Talcum, Kaolin Light, Glycerine, Polyacrylamide C13-14 Isoparaffin Laureth-7, Oxybenzoene, Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Isopropyl Myristare, Cyclopentasiloxane, Elcosene, Copolymer, Birch (BETULA) Extract, Mallow (MALUACEAE) Extract, Hops(HUMULUS) Extract, Fumed Silica, 2- Phenoxyethanol, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Methylchloroisothiazolinone And Methylisothiazolinone, Red Iron Oxide, Yellow Iron Oxide, Fragrance.

Packaging

This sunscreen comes in the yellow-orange plastic tube with flip open cap. There is a hole at the opening that dispenses the product when you squeeze the tube. The cap shuts with a sharp click that ensures no spillage or product wastage. Like most other products of this brand, it also contains complete ingredients list, shelf life, claims and an eye-soothing label graphics. The packaging is simple, sturdy but nothing fancy; it’s just the signature tube that is quite common among the Lotus Herbals Safe Sun range products.

Colour, Texture & Smell

The sunblock is tinted. The texture is smooth and the consistency is on the thinner side. It feels light on the skin. It has a nice floral fragrance; nothing too over powering.

My Skin Type

Oily to Combination, Acne-prone.

My Views

I have been loving this product for 3-4 years now because it seems to be the perfect sunscreen for humid summer of my place and my skin type. I apply it in the morning after cleansing and toning. As I apply it to the skin, it starts getting absorbed. Within 2 minutes it sets into perfect matte. In mid-summer days I do not need any moisturizer over this. For other times, when certain area of my face gets drier, I dab a bit of my regular moisturizer. This tinted sunscreen has very low coverage. It just evens out the skin tone. Which is why, it works for people of every complexion. It does not leave whitish cast on skin. I have experienced no skin irritations, outbreak or aggravation in my existing pimples as well. This product contains Oxybenzone to fight with various types of sun allergies and Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate to filter out the harmful rays of sun. These ingredients protect my skin from burning sensations on my skin for 3-4 hours which is great considering my sun sensitivity problem.
