Lotus Herbals Sunscreen Gel for Oily skin with SPF 20 Review

Lotus Herbals Sunscreen Gel for oily skin Review

Hello all,

Today, I will review a sunscreen from Lotus herbals which has a gel formula, specially formulated for normal to oily skin. Sunscreens are very important when it comes to skin care but when you do have oily skin then choosing a sunscreen which does not make you sweat in hot and humid weather or make your already oily skin greasier gets tougher.

Lotus Herbals has variety of sunscreens and I have not seen so many sunscreen variations in any of the brands so far. I have used 2-3 of them already and when I came across this gel formula, I had to give it a try. 

Price: 245 INR for 100 gm of product.

About the Product and claims: Sunscreens have become an integral part of our life due to the climatic changes like global warming and ozone layer depletion and increasing environmental pollution. It is almost a rarity to find a sunscreen lotion that is not non-oily and effective.

Lotus herbals introduce a revolutionary sunscreen that is oil free yet powerful sunscreen gel. The beauty of this sunscreen gel is its contents like extracts of babchi seed that are known to provide protection against a wide range of UV rays and also helps in improving skin pigmentation, while sea weed nourishes the skin protects it from toxic substances and improves blood circulation making it vital to maintaining a healthy skin. The babchi seed extract is also used to cure skin pigmentation related diseases like vitiligo, leprosy, etc. It enables skin to create new pigmentation when out in the open sunlight.

My experience: This Lotus herbals safe sun sunscreen gel comes in a pump dispenser which kind of made me give it full points in packaging. It does not have any outer packaging; the bottle comes covered in a plastic sheet. This bottle with orange pump and orangey gel filled in looks very nice with a transparent cap. The bottle is very sturdy and travel friendly. Pump dispenser makes it using convenient and hygienic and you can see how much of the product is left in the bottle. It’s pump works fine and dispenses adequate product.. I mean to say it’s not loose or too tight when you press it.

The sunscreen is translucent orange colored gel. It is thick enough in consistency, as the gels are supposed to be. 

I was checking its ingredients and saw that it has methyl paraben and also Dimethicone. So, if you are allergic to dimethicone , which is also a part of a lot of foundations and other lotions, then do skip this.

When you apply, it feels, sticky and as if, it’s not going to absorb ever, However, after you have left it for few seconds, the stickiness is all gone and you are left with matte finish as if you have not used anything at all.

I think this is the best feature of this gel sunscreen which I like, as I have used other sunscreens as well and when I used to apply them, my skin used to feel greasy which worsen when I was outdoors especially on humid days.

Even after a couple of hours, there was no trace of oiliness, just the regular oil that I usually get. (urghh my oily skin)

It has SPF 20, I was thinking of variant with more SPF but this will do as of now. It also says that it has extracts of babchi seed that are known to provide protection against a wide range of UV rays.

I like this product so far which is mostly due to its gel formula and it has not break me out yet. I will update at the bottom of the post, if I face any such issues later with this product.

So, this makes me conclude that it is really good for the oily skinned people or normal as well.For me It is the best sunscreens that I have used so far.
