Frequently Asked Questions

SAFESCREEN TINTENSE is a high-performance tinted sunscreen range created to offer broad-spectrum protection against UV, infrared (IR), and high-energy visible light (HEVL), while delivering natural coverage tailored for Indian skin. What makes TINTENSE unique is its origin story, it’s not just another tinted sunscreen. It was developed through a nationwide collaboration with the CHOSEN community. As interest grew in a sunscreen that could also provide coverage for pigmentation and skin unevenness, CHOSEN users across India tested swatches and shared feedback. This user data, paired with melanin index analysis, formed the foundation for a tone-matching method developed specifically for Indian skin tones known as IST. The result: four inclusive TINTENSE shades, informed by real-world testing and grounded in science. Later, as the need for deeper shades became clear, the product evolved further. The community began suggesting shade names—names that captured not just the appearance, but the feel and personality of each tone. These more intuitive, relatable names are now guiding the expansion of the range. While the scientific system remains at the core of shade development, the latest additions to TINTENSE reflect a more community-inspired, experience-driven approach - blending data, diversity, and identity in one product line. Available in both mineral and hybrid formats, TINTENSE offers flexibility, safety, and performance, making it a complete made-for-India tinted sunscreen.

Dispense 4 to 6 pumps of sunscreen and apply it to a cleansed face and neck, using small dots across the skin. Gently spread and blend evenly for uniform coverage.

If needed, a moisturiser can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort, especially for dry skin.

Face serums are best used in the evening or at night, when the skin is less exposed to environmental stressors and can better absorb active ingredients.
