Frequently Asked Questions

SAFESCREEN TINTENSE is more than just a tinted sunscreen, it's a community-powered innovation created specifically for Indian skin. It offers broad-spectrum protection against UV rays, infrared (IR), and high-energy visible light (HEVL) while delivering natural-looking coverage that complements a wide range of Indian skin tones. What truly sets TINTENSE apart is its collaborative journey. In response to the growing demand for sunscreens that also enhance complexion, CHOSEN invited its user community across India to participate in real-time product testing. Through swatch trials and feedback loops, users helped fine-tune shade accuracy. This rich user input, combined with melanin index analysis, led to the development of IST (Indian Skin Tone), a science-backed tone-matching method designed for Indian complexions. TINTENSE initially launched with four shades, developed through a blend of data and lived experience. As the need for deeper tones became evident, the community shaped the next phase—introducing shade names that reflect not just tone, but the personality and feel of each shade. Newer additions like Gold and Fawn embody this shift, where tone meets identity. Now available in both mineral and hybrid formats, SAFESCREEN TINTENSE brings together skin safety, high performance, and personal expression. With six inclusive shades—Light, Buff, Bisque, Beige, Gold, and Fawn, TINTENSE celebrates real skin tones, real feedback, and real science.

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