Chhaya Sunscreen: Understanding sunscreen care and supporting botanicals

The role of this product

Chhaya combines sunscreen positioning with moisturising skin care. The UV-filter system and the tested finished formula determine sun-protection performance.

How the formulation works

Glycerin and panthenol contribute moisturising care; dimethicone helps slip and skin feel. Green tea, tulsi and chrysanthemum are supporting botanical ingredients. Botanical antioxidant research does not establish an SPF value, broad-spectrum protection or water resistance. Follow the final sunscreen label, reapply as directed and combine use with shade and protective clothing.
