What happened
It launched KidScreen, a 100% mineral sunscreen for kids and teens with SPF 50+ and PA++++

The details
- SkinInspired launched KidScreen, a sunscreen made specifically for kids and teens.
- KidScreen is 100% mineral, with SPF 50+ and PA++++ protection.
- It uses 25% non-nano Zinc Oxide, a high concentration for Indian kids' sunscreens.
- The sunscreen is water-resistant, sweat-resistant, fragrance-free, and leaves zero white-cast.
- KidScreen is free from Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Parabens, Phthalates, Sulfates, and Artificial Fragrances.
- A review of top 10 baby sunscreens in India found most had SPF 30 or PA+++ and used chemical filters not GRASE-approved for children.
The bigger picture
- 80% of lifetime sun exposure happens by age 18, and sunscreen prevents seven signs of skin damage.
- Kids' skin is thinner and more sensitive; only physical sunscreen filters are GRASE-approved for children.
- Most existing kids' sunscreens in India use chemical filters that are not GRASE-approved.
