Choosing your Uniqaya Tinted Sunscreen shade is simple once you know your skin tone range:

Ivory Dawn - Best for fair to light skin tones with neutral or cool undertones.

Sunkissed - Perfect for light to medium skin tones , especially with warm or golden undertones.

Bronze Bliss - Ideal for medium to bronze skin tones , ensuring a warm, natural glow without looking ashy.

If you’re unsure, swatch the sunscreen on your jawline (not your wrist) and check it in natural daylight ; the right shade will disappear seamlessly into your skin.

The great thing about Uniqaya’s Tinted Sunscreen is that its iron oxide–based tint subtly adapts to your skin once blended, so even if you’re between shades, it still delivers a smooth, even finish while protecting against UV rays and blue light.

VARIATION QUESTIONS: How does tinted sunscreen work?

WHAT: Tinted sunscreen is a broad-spectrum SPF infused with iron oxides ( the colour pigment) that protects not only against UVA/UVB rays but also visible light, especially blue light from screens and the sun. This makes it essential for preventing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and photoaging, particularly in medium to deeper skin tones.

HOW: It works by combining traditional UV filters (like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) with iron oxides to block both ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) and visible light, especially high-energy blue light. This is crucial because visible light, particularly in people with medium to deep skin tones, can worsen pigmentation issues like melasma or post-acne marks.

WHY: Unlike regular SPF, it offers an added layer of defense and a cosmetic tint that blends into skin for a natural finish. If you're serious about comprehensive protection and evening out skin tone , tinted SPF wins.

Yes, tinted sunscreen is effective against blue light from screens, thanks to iron oxides in the formula. Unlike traditional sunscreens, which primarily block UVA and UVB rays, the iron oxides in tinted SPF absorb and scatter high-energy visible light, especially the blue light emitted by digital devices and indoor lighting.

This makes it particularly valuable for preventing and managing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin tone in those exposed to screens for long hours.

Tinted sunscreen offers full-spectrum protection by blocking UVA, UVB, and visible light—especially blue light—thanks to its iron oxide content. It helps prevent and manage hyperpigmentation, melasma, and post-acne marks, making it ideal for uneven or pigment-prone skin. The tint also provides a natural, skin-evening finish, often replacing foundation. For those seeking both protection and cosmetic enhancement, it’s a smart, multitasking daily essential.

Uniqaya’s Tinted Sunscreen is powered by antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin E to fight free radicals and slow down signs of aging. Hydrating ingredients like avocado oil and linoleic acid nourish and soften the skin, while soothing agents like artichoke extract and thermus thermophillus ferment calm sensitivity and strengthen the skin barrier. So in one swipe, you're not just getting broad-spectrum and blue light protection—you’re also treating your skin to hydration, repair, and glow.

Users also ask: what is thermus thermophillus ferment?

Thermus thermophillus ferment is a marine enzyme derived from heat-loving bacteria found near deep-sea vents. In Uniqaya’s Tinted Sunscreen, it acts as a powerful antioxidant specifically targeting infrared (IR) and heat-induced skin stress—something regular SPF doesn’t cover. It helps protect collagen, reduce oxidative stress & damage, and strengthen the skin barrier, making it ideal for daily exposure to both sun and environmental heat. In short, it’s your invisible shield against thermal aging, built right into your sunscreen.

VARIATION QUESTIONS: Is tinted sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin? | Is tinted sunscreen suitable for dry skin? | Is tinted sunscreen suitable for oily skin?

Yes, tinted sunscreen is generally suitable for all skin types—it just depends on the formulation. The iron oxides used for tint are well-tolerated and non-comedogenic, making them safe even for acne-prone or sensitive skin. For oily or combination skin, a lightweight or matte-finish tinted SPF works best. Drier skin types benefit from hydrating formulas like Uniqaya’s, which includes nourishing oils and soothing ingredients.

Because tinted sunscreen also helps reduce visible light–induced pigmentation, it’s especially beneficial for medium to deep skin tones and those prone to melasma or dark spots. The key is choosing the right texture and tint match for your skin’s needs.

Clear sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB rays and dries down invisible, making it great for basic sun defense. Tinted sunscreen does the same but adds iron oxides, which block visible light—especially blue light that worsens pigmentation.

It’s especially beneficial for melasma, dark spots, and medium to deep skin tones, while also doubling as light coverage. If you're targeting discoloration or screen exposure, tinted is the better choice.

Yes, tinted sunscreen can replace foundation for many people, especially if you're aiming for a natural, everyday look. It evens out skin tone, blurs minor imperfections, and gives a smooth, breathable finish—while also providing sun protection.

Every day makeup can clog pores and stress the skin, but tinted sunscreen offers a lightweight, non-comedogenic alternative. It evens out skin tone, softens melasma, and blurs imperfections—all while letting skin breathe. The tint comes from iron oxides, safe inorganic pigments that don’t clog pores.

Formulas like Uniqaya’s go a step further by adding antioxidants, hydrators, and soothing agents, giving you both skincare and coverage in one. While it may not fully replace foundation for full-glam occasions, it's a perfect multitasker for daily wear, offering a healthy, protected glow without the heaviness of makeup.

No, our tinted sunscreen doesn’t clog pores—as long as it’s labeled non-comedogenic, like Uniqaya’s every product is 💖

Reapply Uniqaya tinted sunscreen every 2 hours outdoors, or every 4–6 hours indoors. After sweating or wiping your face, reapply immediately. For makeup days, gently pat it back on with clean fingers or a soft makeup sponge to maintain protection without disturbing your base.

SPF 30 is often seen as the baseline for sun protection, but it doesn’t fully match today’s skin needs, whether it’s pigmentation, uneven tone, or long hours in the sun. While it blocks about 97% of UVB rays, that leftover exposure can still cause tanning, dark spots, and premature aging.

SPF 50, however, offers stronger and more reliable protection, blocking around 98% of UVB rays, making it a smarter choice for Indian weather, outdoor lifestyles, or anyone prone to pigmentation and melasma.

That’s where Uniqaya Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 steps in. It not only shields your skin but also perfects it with a natural finish that blends beautifully into Indian skin tones. Available in three adaptive shades, Ivory Dawn, Sunkissed, and Bronze Bliss, it gives sun protection with coverage. Powered with Artichoke Extract and Lycopene, it strengthens the skin barrier, calms irritation, and protects against both UV rays and blue light. It’s skincare, sun care, and skin-perfecting coverage all in one tube.

Absolutely! Uniqaya Tinted sunscreen is suitable for everyone and offers the same sun protection benefits regardless of gender.

Yes, Uniqaya tinted sunscreen can be layered with other skincare products such as moisturizers, serum & creams. Apply it as the last step in your skincare routine before makeup.

Choose a tinted sunscreen based on your skin type, concerns, and shade match.

For oily or acne-prone skin, look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas with a matte or oil-free finish.

If you have dry or sensitive skin, go for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, avocado oil, or linoleic acid.

To target pigmentation or melasma, make sure it contains iron oxides for visible light protection. Always test the tint to ensure it blends naturally into your skin tone—most formulas are sheer-flexible, but matching still matters.

A good tinted sunscreen should feel weightless, even out tone, and suit your skin’s daily needs without clogging pores. Like Uniqaya’s Tinted Sunscreen!

No, Tinted sunscreen can not be used on children.

A sunscreen provides protection for about 3-4 hours during active sun exposure, regardless of the SPF number.

The “50” refers to how much UVB protection it offers—not how long it lasts. After 2 hours, or sooner if you’re sweating, swimming, or wiping your face, it should be reapplied to maintain effectiveness. No sunscreen is truly all-day, so reapplication is key for consistent protection.

Broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays cause sunburn, while UVA rays penetrate deeper, leading to premature aging and pigmentation. Without broad-spectrum coverage, you’re only shielding against part of the sun’s damage. A well-formulated broad-spectrum SPF—like Uniqaya’s—also often includes added defense against visible light and infrared radiation, offering more complete skin protection in one step.

Yes, SPF 50 is a good choice for daily use, especially if you spend time outdoors or have skin concerns like melasma, hyperpigmentation, or a history of sun sensitivity. It offers strong protection by blocking about 98% of UVB rays , reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage.

For everyday wear, it's important that the SPF 50 you use is broad-spectrum, lightweight, and suitable for your skin type to ensure comfort and consistent use.
