POPxo H2O Booster Sunscreen Gel

If you’re on the lookout for something cooling as well as lightweight, narrowing it down to a gel-like formula is a no-brainer. The POPxo H2O Booster Sunscreen Gel is a water-based sunscreen that delivers instant pumps of hydration to your skin—owing to its composition of the ever-moisturising Hyaluronic Acid—and it blends into your skin seamlessly without leaving behind any greasiness on the surface. It has a strength of SPF 30 as well as a rating of PA+++.

POPxo Selfie Ready Tinted Sunscreen 

Formulated for all types of skin, the POPxo Selfie Ready Tinted Sunscreen is a triple-duty product in the way that it starts off as a primer, doubles up as a glow-inducing tinted moisturiser, and sun-proofs your skin. It’s infused with a strength of SPF 50 to protect you from UVB rays, and it comes with a PA+++ rating—which means that it provides high levels of protection from UVA rays. Not only this—this lightweight sunscreen functions as an indoor-outdoor formula in that it offers you protection from man-made sources of blue light as well (protection from light emitted from your screens)—because, yes, they can have long-term effects like premature ageing on the skin. Such a multipurpose non-greasy sunscreen for the face, no?

POPxo Beach Bum Multi-Use Sunscreen Spray

There’s no way a spray can make your skin feel greasy—this vehicle of sun-proofing is convenient, and isn’t just limited to the skin. It can protect the hair from sun-induced damage as well. Infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Cucumber-based extracts, its expertise lies in its ability to cool and soothe the skin while delivering on its primary proposition—the best non-greasy sunscreen in the form of a spray RN.

MyGlamm Superfoods Kiwi And Coconut Sunscreen

With SPF-30 PA+++ protection, the MyGlamm Superfoods Kiwi And Coconut Sunscreen doesn’t just protect you from UVA rays and UVB rays. It’s enriched with Kiwi to boost the production of collagen in the skin; Chlorine to restore the elasticity of the skin; Coconut to hydrate and moisturise; and Vitamin E to soothe and calm. 

MyGlamm Superfoods Cacao And Berries Day Cream With SPF

A superfoods-charged day cream infused with SPF? We’ve got you. This MyGlamm day cream doesn’t just fight signs of ageing or prevent loss of moisture from the skin. It sun-proofs your skin with the help of chemical-based and mineral-based filters. Enriched with Cacao powder, Strawberry, Mulberry and Black Currant, it wards off free radicals and boosts the production of collagen in the skin to prevent premature ageing. And it contains ingredients like sunflower seed oil to reduce bacterial growth; allantoin to repair and heal the skin; and hyaluronic acid to reinstate the radiance of your face. You can layer it onto your skin after cleansing.

Manish Malhotra Sandalwood SPF 25 Gel

We’re adding another ultra-light gel-based sunscreen to the line-up—because you cannot quite tire of how these formulas feel against your skin. This one is formulated with moisture-brimming ingredients like Aloe Vera Juice, Sandalwood, Haldi, Chamomile Oil, Coconut Oil and Olive Oil that intensely hydrate your skin; keep infections in check; and heal and soothe the skin. 

St. Botanica Vitamin C SPF 50 Sunblock Face & Body Mist Sunscreen

This sunscreen boasts a strength of SPF 50, and displays a rating of PA+++ to protect your skin from UVA rays. It’s a lightweight and non-greasy formula that doesn’t leave behind a residue or film on the surface, and prevents spots, hyperpigmentation, and photo-ageing from surfacing. 

Organic Harvest Sunscreen SPF 60 with Triple Action Formula

Are you looking for a matte-like finish? This oil-free sunscreen plunges into your skin effortlessly without leaving behind any residue at all. Formulated with Olive Oil to lock in moisture; Clay Minerals to block the harmful effects of UVB as well as UVA rays; and Tamarind Seed Extracts containing Hyaluronic Acid to moisturise the skin, this triple-duty product is worth adding to your summer-care wishlist. 

The Derma Co. Ultra Matte Sunscreen Gel

The Derma Co. Ultra Matte Sunscreen Gel is an oil-free, non-comedogenic formula that will not clog your pores. This SPF 60 sunscreen is dermatologically-tested, and has a rating of PA+++. It’s lightweight, and it will not leave behind the sticky, white residue on the surface of the skin we’re all too familiar with. This is one of the best non-greasy sunscreens for oily skin.  

Earth Rhythm Ultra Defence Hybrid Sun Fluid – SPF 50

This sustainably-packaged sunscreen is infused with chemical as well as physical filters. A gel-based formula, it’s soft, dry, and water-resistant, and perfect for traveling because of how portable it is. You can count on this one to seep into your skin without leaving behind any kind of stickiness on the surface. 

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock with SPF 50+

If you don’t like how shiny or obvious sunscreens look after application, formulas like these absorb into your skin for a weightless matte-like finish. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock with SPF 50+ protects you against sun-induced damage without weighing down your skin, and since it’s non-comedogenic, it won’t clog your pores. 

Re’equil Ultra Matte Dry Touch Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA++++

What sets apart the Re’equil Ultra Matte Dry Touch Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA++++ from the rest? Apart from boasting a strength of SPF 50, it has a PA++++ rating—which means that it provides the highest level of protection against UVA rays. It lends a mattifying, velvety finish to the skin, and is non-comedogenic in nature. It contains physical sunscreen filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide; and it is infused with botanical extract Physalis Angulata (clinically proven to neutralize the harmful effects of infrared rays along with preventing thermal ageing.)

And that’s the tea on some of the best non-greasy sunscreens in India at the moment.
