Description

A “Melanin Balanced Sunscreen” is formulated to protect melanin-rich skin while preventing the chalky, ashy white cast typical of traditional sunscreens. Available in generous (200text{ ml}) sizes, these lotions often feature hydrating ingredients and antioxidants to target hyperpigmentation and ensure a seamless, non-greasy finish.

Broad-Spectrum Protection: Typically provides SPF (50) or higher to block both UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburns and long-term sun damage.
Hyperpigmentation Support: Contains skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide or alpha arbutin that help fade dark spots, even out skin tone, and support the skin barrier
Deep Hydration: 200 ml variants often double as daily body or facial moisturizers, keeping the skin supple and glowing. [1, 2]
Lightweight Texture: Designed for hot climates, absorbing quickly without clogging pores or feeling sticky. [1, 2]
