Everything you  
need to know

Most sunscreens chase a high SPF and PA number but still fail to guarantee strong, reliable protection against UV rays. That’s mainly because they rely on older UV filters that can degrade faster under sunlight. Add to that, most of them feel greasy and leave a white cast, making daily wear less appealing.

Arata UV-Defence Sunscreen Gel is built differently. It offers SPF 50, PA+++ for broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. But what truly sets it apart is the use of new-age filters like Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M. These filters remain stable under sunlight and help defend your skin against tanning, premature ageing, and DNA damage. They are supported by a carefully engineered film-forming network that ensures even spread, uniform UV filter distribution, and superior coverage. But it does not just stop at UV defence, it goes further with niacinamide, ceramide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E to support skin barrier repair and overall skin health.

Despite offering high-performance protection, it feels like nothing on skin. The gel-based formula absorbs quickly without leaving behind any greasy residue and white cast. Engineered for the Indian climate, it leaves your skin feeling protected, healthy, and at ease.

BROAD-SPECTRUM UV PROTECTION: Powered by new-age, photostable UV filters, this formula delivers long-term defence against both UVA and UVB rays to help prevent sun-induced ageing, pigmentation, and skin damage.
BETTER REAL-WORLD PROTECTION: An efficient film-forming network with polymers and humectants ensures uniform coverage across the skin, delivering heightened protection.
ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT TEXTURE: The fast-absorbing gel spreads easily and sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It layers comfortably under makeup and skincare without pilling, irritation, or irritating the eyes.
SUPPORTS SKIN BARRIER: Goes beyond UV protection with niacinamide, ceramide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C and E to support barrier repair, keeping skin hydrated, plump, and healthy-looking.
ZERO WHITE CAST: Hybrid UV technology, combining advanced organic and hybrid filters, avoids a chalky finish and leaves no white cast, making it wearable across all Indian skin tones.

HYALURONIC ACID: Binds water to prevent sun-induced dehydration and keep skin plump.

NIACINAMIDE: Strengthens skin barrier and reduces UV-induced inflammation and uneven tone.

CERAMIDE NP: Skin-identical lipid that repairs barrier damage and reduces moisture loss.

VITAMIN C: Neutralises UV-generated free radicals and supports brighter-looking skin.

TINOSORB S: Provides highly photostable broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

TINOSORB M: Supports long-wear broad-spectrum protection.

STEP 1: Start with clean, moisturised skin.
STEP 2: Take a liberal amount of the gel and blend it in until fully absorbed. Make sure you cover often-ignored areas like the eyelids, ears, hairline, sides of the neck, lips, and nose creases.

P.S. Reapply every 2 hours to keep your defence going strong under the sun.

Short answer. Yes. It has got your skin covered in every way.

Let’s break it down: Arata UV-Defence Sunscreen Gel is a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which means it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. UVB is what causes sunburn and surface damage. UVA goes deeper and is strongly linked to tanning, pigmentation, and premature ageing. By covering both, it does not just prevent sunburn, it also helps reduce long-term skin damage and prevent tanning and skin ageing.

Short answer: Yes. Just high SPF and PA isn’t enough.

Let’s break it down: In real life, sunscreen gradually breaks down after absorbing UV energy. Sweat, oil, friction, and even normal facial movement can disturb the protective film. Good news is Arata UV-Defence Sunscreen Gel has photostable filters that don’t degrade quickly under sunlight like conventional filters. However, reapplying every two hours remains important to help maintain continued and effective protection.

Short answer: Yes. Windows don’t block everything.

Let’s break it down: UVA rays can pass through glass. That means you are still exposed to the sun while sitting near windows, driving, or working in indoor spaces. UVA does not usually cause immediate redness, but it penetrates deeper and contributes to photoageing, collagen loss, and pigmentation over time. Daily exposure adds up, which is why consistent use of sunscreen matters.

Short answer: Yes. Early protection really matters.

Let’s break it down: Children’s skin is more vulnerable. It has a thinner outer barrier, lower melanin levels, and a reduced ability to repair UV-induced DNA damage. UV damage is cumulative and irreversible, and a significant portion of lifetime sun exposure occurs before the age of 18. Severe childhood sunburns are strongly associated with an increased risk of melanoma later in life.

Babies under 6 months should rely primarily on shade and protective clothing. Older children, however, should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Arata UV-Defence Sunscreen Gel is dermatologically tested, non-irritant, and suitable for use by children.

Short answer: Not exactly. It’s a guide, not a guarantee.

Let’s break it down: The three-finger rule assumes everyone has the same finger size and that all sunscreens spread identically. In reality, finger size varies and different formulas distribute differently across the skin. What matters more than rigid measurement is achieving even, uniform coverage.

For the face and neck, you typically need about 1 to 1.25 ml applied evenly to achieve proper protection. That translates to roughly a teaspoon, or about two finger lengths of sunscreen.
