Why Typical Sunscreens Fall Short for Indian Skin

For Indian skin tones, sun-damage and pigmentation require more than a basic SPF. Higher melanin means more risk of hyper-pigmentation, uneven tone and darkening in sun-exposed areas. Many sunscreens leave a visible film, feel heavy, or don’t address skin-texture / tone issues.

Recognizing this gap, we created a formula built with Indian-skin priorities — clarity of finish, broad protection, skin-barrier support, and anti-aging benefits.

Meet the Product: Sea Clearly Hydrating Facial SPF 35 + Growth Factor Gel

Designed for Indian skin concerns

Derived from Sonrei’s mission to refine sunscreen for skin that doesn’t get one-size-fits-all treatment, this product offers three integrated benefits: sun protection, primer functionality, and growth-factor supported skin-care. 

What sets it apart

  • Broad-spectrum SPF 35: Shields both UVA and UVB, which is essential for preventing pigmentation and photo-aging in melanin-rich skin. 

  • Clear gel/primer finish: Designed to blend in clear and leave a truly invisible finish. No visible white-cast, so suited to deeper tones.

  • Anti-aging growth-factor benefit (Kinetin): Clinically shown to help the skin retain moisture and reduce fine lines, roughness, pigmentation and dilated blood vessels.

  • Lightweight for daily use: A gel-primer format means you can wear it under makeup or alone — great for day-to-day, indoor + outdoor environments.

  • Skin-friendly formulation: Vegan-friendly, non-greasy, non-white, non-irritating and suitable for all skin types. 

Why It Works For You

  • If you’ve found regular sunscreens leave a cast or make your skin look ashy → this one has a clear gel finish that avoids that.

  • If your skin is prone to pigmentation, uneven tone or dark spots when exposed to sun → the anti-aging + protection combo helps address both appearance and prevention.

  • If you wear makeup or want your skincare to double as a priming step → this product serves as both a protective layer and a base for makeup.

  • If want a daily sunscreen that doesn’t feel heavy or sticky → the lightweight gel format is designed for that.

How to Use It

Think of Sea Clearly Hydrating Facial SPF 35 + Growth Factor Gel/Primer as your one-step morning essential.

After cleansing, skip the complicated multi-step routine — no separate moisturizer, serum, or primer needed.
Simply:

  1. Apply 2–3 pumps evenly to face and neck as the final step of your morning skincare.

  2. Let it absorb for a few seconds — it melts in clear and leaves a hydrated, smooth finish that doubles as your makeup base.

  3. You’re protected, primed, and glowing — all in one step.

No white-cast, no residue, no extra layers. Just effortless, invisible protection that fits perfectly into your daily ritual.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been searching for a sunscreen that gets Indian skin — its tone, texture, and climate — your search ends here.
The Sea Clearly Hydrating Facial SPF 35 + Growth Factor Gel/Primer blends science, skincare, and simplicity into a single step — so you can face the sun (and your day) with confidence.
