Social media is rife with conjecture surrounding sunscreen, which makes the hunt for this skincare essential tedious and confusing. When advised by her dermatologist to apply sunscreen daily, encountering this dearth of reliable information led Niloni Shah, a Mumbai-based pharmacist, to create a range of skincare products—The Pink Foundry—which were backed by science. “What started as a curious probe to find the right skincare products for myself, led to the desire to create products that would leave the skin feeling healthier by application of products,” explains Shah.

While experts stand by the protection it lends to the skin from harmful UV rays, there are claims that darker skin tones might not need it at all. “People of all skin types need to wear sunscreen to protect their skin from harmful UV rays”, clarifies Dr. Manjot Marwah, who has over a decade of experience in the field of skincare and dermatology. “All sunscreens are not the same in terms of effectiveness, which is where the confusion lies. Myths surrounding sunscreen are aplenty and need to be busted,” adds Dr. Sushma Yadav, dermatologist, cosmetologist, and hair transplant surgeon.
