To help you make an educated choice in sunscreens, let’s give you some idea about the Sunscreen Rating System.

The Sunscreen Rating System

Sun protection typically involves two main metrics, each addressing a different type of UV ray:

✔ SPF (Sun Protection Factor): Measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays (the rays that cause sunburn).

✔ PA Rating: Measures how well the sunscreen protects against UVA rays (the deep-penetrating rays that cause premature aging, wrinkles, and pigmentation).

Breaking Down the PA Grades

Developed in Japan, the PA system uses plus signs to indicate a product's Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) value: 

✔ PA+: Some UVA protection 

✔ PA++: Moderate UVA protection 

✔ PA+++: High UVA protection 

✔ PA++++: Extremely high UVA protection

Why PA+++ Matters

While UVB rays cause immediate damage like sunburns, UVA rays are present year-round, penetrate clouds and windows, and are the silent drivers of long-term skin issues. 

A sunscreen with a PA+++ rating is highly effective at preventing dark spots, hyperpigmentation and the breakdown of collagen.

For the most comprehensive defense, dermatologists recommend looking for "broad-spectrum" sunscreens that pair an SPF of 30 or higher with a PA+++ (or PA++++) rating.

100% Mineral UV Protection

Mineral UV filters help form a protective shield over your skin, reflecting harmful UVA and UVB rays without using harsh chemical sunscreen filters.

Helps Defend Against Sun-Induced Skin Stress

Daily sun exposure can leave skin looking dull and stressed. Ashwagandha and Saffron help defend against environmental stress while supporting a radiant, healthy-looking complexion.

Helps Prevent Tanning & Dark Spots

Mulberry and Turmeric work together to help reduce tanning, minimise the appearance of dark spots and support a more even-looking skin tone after sun exposure.

Long-Lasting Hydration

Aloe Vera and Oats replenish moisture while calming sensitive skin, leaving your face feeling soft, refreshed and comfortable throughout the day.

What is a sunscreen lotion?

Sunscreen lotion is a skincare product that helps protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays emitted by the sun. Regular use of sunscreen helps reduce tanning, sunburn and the visible signs of sun-induced skin damage.

Is sunscreen lotion good for skin?

Yes. Daily use of sunscreen lotion helps protect your skin from UV damage, premature ageing, tanning and pigmentation. Aalphul Saffron Shield Sunscreen Lotion also contains botanical ingredients that help nourish and soothe the skin while providing broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection.

Which sunscreen lotion is best?

The best sunscreen lotion offers broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection, suits your skin type and feels comfortable for daily wear. Aalphul Saffron Shield Sunscreen Lotion combines SPF 50, PA+++, 100% mineral UV filters and botanical ingredients that help protect, hydrate and support healthy-looking skin.

What's a good sunscreen lotion for everyday use?

A good everyday sunscreen should provide SPF 30 or higher, broad-spectrum protection and be comfortable enough to wear daily. Aalphul Saffron Shield Sunscreen Lotion is lightweight, sweat resistant and suitable for everyday indoor and outdoor use.

Is SPF 50 sunscreen better than SPF 30?

Both provide good protection when used correctly. SPF 50 offers a higher level of protection by filtering more UVB rays, making it a preferred choice for people who spend longer periods outdoors or have increased sun exposure.

Can sunscreen help prevent tanning?

Yes. Regular application of sunscreen before sun exposure helps reduce tanning by protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. Reapplying every 2–3 hours provides more consistent protection.

Can sunscreen reduce dark spots?

Sunscreen helps prevent existing dark spots from becoming darker by protecting your skin from UV exposure. Aalphul Saffron Shield Sunscreen Lotion also contains Mulberry and Turmeric, which help minimise the appearance of sun-induced pigmentation over time.

Why should you give preference to a mineral sunscreen?

✔ It starts working immediately by forming a physical barrier on your skin

✔ It sits safely on top of your skin, unlike chemical sunscreens which may be absorbed into the body

✔ Unlike chemical sunscreens which trap heat in the skin, this is acne-friendly as it does not trap heat in the skin

✔ Dermatologists recommend it for sensitive skin

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Aalphul Saffron Shield Sunscreen Lotion uses 100% mineral UV filters and soothing botanical ingredients like Aloe Vera and Oats, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Can I use sunscreen indoors?

Yes. UVA rays can penetrate windows, and prolonged exposure to daylight may contribute to skin damage. Daily sunscreen use is recommended even when spending most of the day indoors.

Can sunscreen be used under makeup?

Yes. Allow the sunscreen to absorb fully before applying makeup. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula makes it suitable for layering under cosmetics.

Is this sunscreen suitable for oily skin?

Yes. Its lightweight, non-greasy formulation is designed to feel comfortable on oily, combination, dry and normal skin types.

Is this sunscreen suitable for the face and body?

Yes. Aalphul Saffron Shield Sunscreen Lotion is suitable for both the face and exposed areas of the body that require daily sun protection.

What is a potential negative of a mineral sunscreen and how can you avoid this from happening?

It can leave a cast on your skin. However, you can avoid this by:-

✔ Apply in layers - Dab small dots all over your skin instead of rubbing in one large clump

✔ Warm it up- Rub the product between your fingers first to melt the formula

✔ Pat, don’t rub - Press and pat the product into your skin to help it settle

✔ You could also moisturise your skin first, so that the mineral does not cling to dry patches
