What's Inside: Core Formulation Analysis Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) listed third in the INCI, making it the primary UV filter by concentration. It protects against UVB only and is not very stable — it loses roughly 10% of its SPF within 35 minutes. The formula compensates by pairing it with four additional filters. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) the UVA-absorbing chemical filter; it is inherently unstable and begins losing protection in about 30 minutes, which is why it's combined with other sunscreen agents here. Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide positioned deep in the ingredient list (past the 25th position), indicating trace-level concentrations. They contribute marginal mineral protection but are not the workhorses of this formula. Marketing this as "mineral-backed" overstates their role at this concentration. Hyaluronic Acid listed 7th in INCI order, suggesting moderate presence. It retains moisture, improves elasticity, and prevents dryness without clogging pores. At 1% declared concentration, it's above typical serum levels (0.1–0.5%), so the hydration claim is substantiated. Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) offers both UVA and UVB protection. Its presence makes this sunscreen non-compliant with ocean/reef regulations. Buyers near Nepal's freshwater lakes should note this. Derma Co Aqua Gel vs. Aqualogica Glow+ Dewy Sunscreen Both sell in Nepal under Rs 800 for 50g. Choose The Derma Co Aqua Gel if you want in-vivo verified SPF (50.169 under ISO 24444:2019) and a fragrance-free, hybrid filter system. Choose Aqualogica Glow+ if you prefer a papaya/vitamin-C-infused formula at PA+++ (one grade lower UVA protection) and prioritize a dewy finish. The deciding factor: Derma Co provides PA++++ (UVA-PF ≥ 16) versus Aqualogica's PA+++, a measurable UVA shielding gap. How to Use Apply to dry, clean skin — apply on dry skin for best absorption and effectiveness. Use a full finger-length (approximately 1.25 ml) for face and neck; the 50g tube yields. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow the film to form on skin. Expert tip: In Nepal's Terai belt (Biratnagar, Janakpur) where humidity exceeds 80% during monsoon, layer this over a niacinamide serum — the gel vehicle stays intact under humidity better than cream sunscreens, and niacinamide stabilises avobenzone's photodegradation. Reapply every two hours during continuous outdoor exposure. About the Seller The Derma Co is manufactured by Honasa Consumer Limited, manufactured at Wederm Pvt.

The Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Sunscreen Aqua Gel across all 77 districts of Nepal, including Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Pokhara, Biratnagar, and Dharan. Cash-on-delivery is available for orders within serviceable zones. Standard delivery takes 2–5 business days depending on location. Does this sunscreen leave a white cast? No white cast has been reported in independent reviews. The mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) appear in trace amounts too low to produce visible residue on medium-to-dark skin tones common in Nepal. How long does sun protection last without reapplication? Clinically tested as water and sweat resistant for up to 6 hours. However, real-world friction (towelling, touching) degrades any sunscreen film. Does it contain oxybenzone? Yes — Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) is present as a UVA/UVB filter. This makes the formulation non-compliant with reef-safe/ocean-safe standards.
