If you’ve ever applied sunscreen and noticed a grey, ashy, or purple tint on your face, you’re not alone. For many Indians, sunscreen equals white cast—and that’s the biggest reason people skip daily sun protection.

But white cast is not inevitable. It’s a formulation issue—and understanding the science behind it explains why CLARIV Sunscreen works so well on Indian skin.

What Is White Cast? (Scientifically Explained)

White cast occurs when sunscreen filters sit visibly on the skin’s surface instead of blending in.

This usually happens due to:

• High concentration of mineral UV filters (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide)

• Poor dispersion of UV particles

• Thick, cream-based formulations

On melanin-rich Indian skin, these particles reflect light unevenly, creating an ashy or grey appearance.

Why Indian Skin Is More Prone to White Cast

Indian skin typically falls under Fitzpatrick skin types IV–V, which means:

• Higher melanin content

• More contrast when white particles sit on the skin

• Greater visibility of residue

Add to that:

• Humid climate

• Sweat and oil production

• Daily reapplication

…and white cast becomes even more noticeable.

The Real Solution: Gel-Based, Well-Dispersed UV Filters

To prevent white cast, a sunscreen must:

1. Use advanced chemical (organic) UV filters that absorb UV rays instead of reflecting them

2. Be water or gel-based, not thick creams

3. Contain skin-identical ingredients for seamless blending

CLARIV Sunscreen checks all these boxes.

Why CLARIV Sunscreen Leaves No White Cast

🔬 1. Advanced Broad-Spectrum UV Filters

CLARIV uses modern, well-dispersed UV filters that:

• Absorb UVA & UVB rays

• Become invisible once blended

• Do not sit chalky on the skin

This eliminates the reflective effect responsible for white cast.

💧 2. Gel-Based, Water-Light Texture

Unlike heavy sunscreens, CLARIV has a gel-based formula:

• Spreads evenly

• Absorbs quickly

• Feels weightless—even in humidity

This allows the sunscreen to merge with your skin rather than forming a visible layer.

🧬 3. Niacinamide for Skin Tone Harmony

Niacinamide helps:

• Improve skin barrier function

• Reduce redness and uneven tone

• Support smoother application

This ensures the sunscreen looks natural on all Indian skin tones.

🛡️ 4. Ceramides + Hyaluronic Acid

These ingredients:

• Strengthen the skin barrier

• Prevent dryness that causes patchy application

• Help sunscreen sit evenly on the skin

Result: Zero streaks, zero cast.

🌿 5. Designed for Indian Climate & Lifestyles

CLARIV Sunscreen is:

• Water & sweat resistant

• Non-sticky and breathable

• Suitable for daily wear, outdoor use, and under makeup

• PA++++ → Strong UVA protection (pigmentation & aging)

• Broad-spectrum coverage helps prevent:

How to Apply Sunscreen for Zero White Cast

Even the best sunscreen needs proper application:

1. Use the two-finger rule for face & neck

2. Apply on well-moisturized skin

3. Dot evenly before blending

4. Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors

CLARIV’s lightweight gel makes reapplication effortless—no buildup, no cast.
