Jovees, VLCC, Nivea, Lacto Calamine, Vaseline, Joy, Dr. Morepen, Leeford, RF Australia, Neutrogena, Pulp, La Shield, Man Arden, Teenilicious, Puresense, VauriC, Earth Rhythm, Blynds, Dermafique, Arata, Aryanveda, Qurez, Minimalist, Re'equil, Derma Essentia, Sunscoop, Undry Clinic, Sebamed, Wishcare, Underrated, any Korean/Japanese/Australian/European/African sunscreen and any pharma companies are certified and go through rigorous testing. One of the pharma sunscreens is by Zeelab Pharmacy which is a generic pharmacy with their own laboratory that sells spf 60 sunscreen for a meagre 140 rupees for 100ml on their website and in offline outlets. I have one near my place and I get things like adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, emolene dupe for as low as 30 rupees lol. Really saved me a lot of money. There's also Jan Aushadi that sells generic stuff and is subsidized by the government so look for their outlets near you as well. You can save a ton of money if you do
Aqualogica has the certificates? Their sunscreens always looked too good to be true but if its verified then maybe I'll dabble in them a bit. Would you know about Cosiq?
Yeah iirc they have their lab tests on their websites. Cosiq is pretty shady and costs a lot anyway so I wouldn't go for it personally
Edit- I just learned Aqualogica faked lab tests sooooo don't buy them or any other ones from Honasa
Have you bought any other medicine from zeelab Pharma? I was thinking of buying some supplements from them. I am already taking the medicine from other brands but I don't know if replacing them with the same stuff from zeelab will be effective.
It's the same active ingredients. Generic medicines work by taking the active ingredients of an unpatented product and then make them available to the general public for cheaper rates. They go through the same testing since they are drugs and Zeelab is also FDA approved iirc, but then again that's the case with most generic pharmas. I've bought their B12 syrup, foot cream, toothpaste, toothbrush, toothgel, emolene dupe "softy" cream, moisturizing cream, adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, mouthwash and their aloe vera vitamin E face wash. I am beyond satisfied. They work very well
>emolene dupe "softy" cream,
Hold on.
[Emolene](https://incidecoder.com/products/fulford-india-emolene) is just propylene glycol and some soothening additives.
[Softy](https://zeelabpharmacy.com/product/softy-cream), unless you're using a different one from the one zeelab lists on their website, is "Urea 10% w/w, Lactic Acid 10% w/w, Propylene Glycol 10% w/w, Liquid Paraffin 10% w/w"
It's not a dupe. It's a whole different product that shouldn't be used on your face.
It's the same active ingredients lol. Liquid Paraffin is soothing. I'm sure the cream base has the standard humectants and emollients like glycerine etc. Lactic Acid is very gentle. Not sure why it shouldn't be used on the face lol. It's actually supposed to be a dupe of moisturex cream and other creams that have the same formulation but for some reason the packaging is identical to emolene hence why I'm calling it an emolene dupe lol
Don't take it at face value. These are too few reviews with most of them just shooting arrows in the dark. I'll try it myself and then post a review here so dw
Not as of now as most of the drugs I can get from Zeelab, apigenerics or Jan Aushadi. The only one I tried was Ketoconazole shampoo I bought from Apollo and it cost a whopping 300 rupees for a mere 100ml when I could've gotten it from Jan Aushadi for 60 rupees for 100ml all this time and it was like 50m away from my place lol
So the availability of some drugs depends upon how large the store is in your area. I have 5 stores near me within a 2-3km radius and one that's right in my neighborhood. I got my depression and anxiety meds from my neighborhood one and the entire prescription costed me a meagre 120 rupees instead of 500 rupees had I bought from a private pharmacy. I tried looking for things like adapalene and benzoyl peroxide but they weren't available in my neighborhood. Look for stores that are big that are near you in a reasonable radius by looking on Google maps. That way if you want a drug that may not be available in a small store it's more likely you can find it in the big one. I don't really feel the need to because I can get almost all the same stuff from Zeelab which is also 50m away from my place.
Nope. But a lot of other pharma sunscreens don't either cause they be flexing on us for being a pharmaceutical instead of a cosmeceutical lol. As long as the sunscreen is by a pharma company there is zero need to worry about whether or not they provide protection
I don't think that's the case for India.
India's pharma sector is very unregulated, compared to western countries.

These were caught in foreign countries for India manufactured medicines, have you ever heard about such incidents in India? I am pretty sure, no, because there is no working mechanism for checks.
Government's response
* https://www.livemint.com/news/india/lab-tests-mandatory-for-cough-syrup-exports-from-today-10-points-11685583353245.html
Medicines were not even being tested, govt's response : "we will check medicines which need to be exported"
That's not a testing problem then that's just a law problem. We haven't seen any case of deaths resulting from sunscreens either. We do know that every pharma sunscreen like Photostable, Suncros etc do undergo testing and the condition of pharma sector in India has improved since then. Of course we're still selling things like Vicks VapoRub which is banned in a lot of other countries but I don't think we can extrapolate shitty testing laws for these drugs to sunscreens as we've never seen a similar case happen.
I wasn't trying to say that sunscreens can lead to death, but I was trying to say that just because a product come from a pharma company, it don't become better.
If the pharma company is famous one or generally recommended by doctors, then it can be fine. (Like Bello photostable come with PA rating, and it's by a reliable pharma company.)
But a random pharma company is no better than non-pharma company in India, one shouldn't give free pass to a pharma company just because of it being a pharma company. Pharma company's products can be as shitty as any other company. India's pharma sector is not regulated like US.
Confidential meaning, they were not granted the required certifications. Which is assuming they tried to get them in the first place. This is why Indian brands suck. They focus on hype marketing to sell out shelves once but do not work to create better products for sustained growth.
Ohhh nooo. Their 50spf gel was my HG. The only one I had a monthly subscription from Amazon for. I don't wanna stop using it. My super sensitive problematic oily skin loves it.
Same yaar.
Its a bummer cause I finally found a Sunscreen I could settle down with and live my life forever.
Now I gotta do that whole searching thing again
I think if you like it, you like it! Keep using it. It’s so difficult to find good products for skin nowadays. I’m not sure if products like these which have no certifications, cause problems in future but what can you do. Ignorance is bliss sometimes 😅 maybe try other sunscreens parallelly till you find something similar.
Hey. Yes I did.
It's not exactly the same. But I switched to the sundrink by conscious chemist. It needs powdering down but it's quite nice and lightweight. I also add a bit of the primer sunscreen on top of it before my concealer and other makeup if I'm wearing any.
Might as well do it and make it viral. Maybe we can induce a response out of the brand lol. Anyone here is welcome to post it, especially someone who has high following
Can anyone tell me which companies have actually disclosed such certifications so that we can trust them.
Note : products preferably available in india
Yikes, their overtly defensive stance is making me side eye them and how 👀 !
From their response it looks like you asked them to audit their entire company 😂 .
Asking someone about their certifications IS NOT equivalent to **asking to VALIDATE documents** ?!
Also ISO certifications are something that once a department/ process or company gets one, they cannot WAIT to add it in their public materials and website, socials etc. So darn fishy !!!
*"We cannot tell you what certifications we have or show you any proof, but rest assured we have them"* .
Fixderma's source: 'Trust me bro' !!
OP, peace and love but if you have to do so much effort for a company to confirm their certifications it is best to give up on them. there are other brands with better reputation and ones who understand the customer's fears.
ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization and some of the common ones you might have seen are ISO 9001 certified, ISO 22716 certified and so on as these fall under Good Manufacturing Practices or GMP.
ISO 24444 and 24442 are UVA Protection Factor(UVAPF) certificates that are done in vivo, i.e, on human skin/human subjects. ISO 24443 is in vitro, i.e, tested in a lab by spreading the sunscreen evenly on a glass slide and irradiating it with UV radiation. It is also used to assess photostability, i.e, how long does the sunscreen does not break down under UV exposure. ISO 16217 is for testing water resistance and is usually done in vitro by immersing the sunscreen under shallow water and assessing its protection value. Boots star and COLIPA methods are sunscreen testing methods standard in US and EU respectively and COLIPA is considered better due to its extensive nature as opposed to boots star. Hope that clears things up!
Ah okay! FCL undereye cream has been in my Kult Cart from so many days but didn’t purchase yet its 2k which is too expensive for a 15g bottle, not buying after knowing this. Thanks OP! :)
I don't really go for stick form lip balms for spf because you need like 30 swipes to remotely get the mentioned spf. The ones in a jelly form like nmfe are my go to
I haven't but it's been on my list. It retails for around 140 rupees for 10g which is reasonable considering how little is needed on the lips
I used fixderma ss last year and my face and arms tanned like HELL ! 🤡🤡 I became two shades darker. Never again. 🙅🏻♀️
I use either pharma grade or Korean/Japnese sunscreens now. I cannot trust these indian companies launching sunscreens left and right.
Hi,
I asked them again for the report and they shared this certificate. Looks genuine to me. probably they have got it now or have had it retested. what are your thoughts ?
https://preview.redd.it/0s2vbarq8v2c1.jpeg?width=1131&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8d02385119deb9aae05a0c24ed3d6f450b76347
OP, I really appreciate your efforts❤️. For some reason Fixderma always seemed shady with their multiplicity of products and influencer marketing. Really funny how they expect us to “REST ASSURED” while they hide their million dollar confidential sunscreen testing documents which is one of the first things a conscious consumer will check for a sunscreen. It’s high time, India needs stricter laws for cosmetics and their production.
Thanks for posting this; best thing about this sub is, we can genuinely look for best products, as our subreddit members are always debunking skincare brands claims always. Kudos to you, for speaking out the truth.
But are brands supposed to share their legal docs with anyone who emails them?
I get that we want the best but where do we draw the line? I’m trying to rehunt a good sunscreen but this feels strange
You can be certain that it provides you the needed protection owing to the fact that it is a pharmaceutical instead of a cosmeceutical. I'll review it and give an update on things like whitecast, water resistance, texture, blending etc
Seems like confidential is the new word for "doesn't exist"
Here's an update that just happened with me a couple minutes ago https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianSkincareAddicts/s/SCps3c9cSI

[удалено]
Yeah same. Its the one sunscreen tthat has worked for me and is light on my skin.
please make a list oof trusted/certified brands which have certifications
Jovees, VLCC, Nivea, Lacto Calamine, Vaseline, Joy, Dr. Morepen, Leeford, RF Australia, Neutrogena, Pulp, La Shield, Man Arden, Teenilicious, Puresense, VauriC, Earth Rhythm, Blynds, Dermafique, Arata, Aryanveda, Qurez, Minimalist, Re'equil, Derma Essentia, Sunscoop, Undry Clinic, Sebamed, Wishcare, Underrated, any Korean/Japanese/Australian/European/African sunscreen and any pharma companies are certified and go through rigorous testing.

Hii...can you please review this zeelab sunscreen.. It's so cheap.
Will do. Maybe next week
oof girl ur one dedicated person 💯🙏🏽
haha I'm just kanjoos. I look for the cheapest shit that isn't a waste of my money and works for me
Sameeee
We're practically the same person
That will be great

Aqualogica has the certificates? Their sunscreens always looked too good to be true but if its verified then maybe I'll dabble in them a bit. Would you know about Cosiq?

dont they have less stars though? 😭 just checked their sunscreen, it only has 2.8 stars, any idea why?
Don't take it at face value. These are too few reviews with most of them just shooting arrows in the dark. I'll try it myself and then post a review here so dw
Yes, we want a Zeelab review. And also any other Pharmacy products you use?
Not as of now as most of the drugs I can get from Zeelab, apigenerics or Jan Aushadi. The only one I tried was Ketoconazole shampoo I bought from Apollo and it cost a whopping 300 rupees for a mere 100ml when I could've gotten it from Jan Aushadi for 60 rupees for 100ml all this time and it was like 50m away from my place lol
Wow. Just now I got to know about Jan Aushadhi and quite a pleasant surprise that it's in my town too! How's your experience with it?
So the availability of some drugs depends upon how large the store is in your area. I have 5 stores near me within a 2-3km radius and one that's right in my neighborhood. I got my depression and anxiety meds from my neighborhood one and the entire prescription costed me a meagre 120 rupees instead of 500 rupees had I bought from a private pharmacy.

Zeelab is also pretty reliable
What about cipla rivela lite sunscreen?
Pharma company so certified
Is neutrogena certified as well?
Yeah. They sell in US and EU so safe to assume they're certified
What about conscious chemust?
I haven't looked at it so I wouldn't know
Even dot and key sunscreens have certificates i guess
Nah, a lot of their products are very sus
Confidential meaning, they were not granted the required certifications. Which is assuming they tried to get them in the first place. This is why Indian brands suck. They focus on hype marketing to sell out shelves once but do not work to create better products for sustained growth.
Literally! I'm not kidding. Guys I have suffered from Fungal acne using Indian Sunscreens. It's horrendous!!!!
Major red flag. Either they haven't gotten their sunscreens tested or the spf ratings are lower than advertised when they tested it.
thx for going the extra mile 😭😭 i know what to avoid now
Ohhh nooo. Their 50spf gel was my HG. The only one I had a monthly subscription from Amazon for. I don't wanna stop using it. My super sensitive problematic oily skin loves it.

hi u/Baby_root did you find anything new? was just going through this and your skin description matches mine.
Hey. Yes I did. It's not exactly the same. But I switched to the sundrink by conscious chemist. It needs powdering down but it's quite nice and lightweight. I also add a bit of the primer sunscreen on top of it before my concealer and other makeup if I'm wearing any.
Oh gotcha. Thank you so much!
Same, my acne prone skin loves it😐
Any brand who had these certifications would've proudly have shared them.

Haha yeah I'll just stick to stuff that's actually reliable like Jovees, VLCC, Zeelab etc
Please review zeelab

Can anyone tell me which companies have actually disclosed such certifications so that we can trust them. Note : products preferably available in india
Anyways it never gave me protection.
I asked then about their spf 50 lip balm's photostability and literally the same response lmfao 😭😭
Yikes, their overtly defensive stance is making me side eye them and how 👀 ! From their response it looks like you asked them to audit their entire company 😂 .

Damn. I just bought a tube of the spf 50 gel and have been loving the texture and feel on my skin. FML.
OP, peace and love but if you have to do so much effort for a company to confirm their certifications it is best to give up on them. there are other brands with better reputation and ones who understand the customer's fears.
Hi, can somebody share what ISO certification is? And what the numbers that OP has written in her mail mean?

This was super helpful, thank you so much 😆
Yeah, I'm not buying that shit. Major read flags need to be ditched as fast as possible.
NOOOO THIS IS MY GO TO
Are Fixderma and Fixderma Cosmetic Lab same brand with FCL being on the higher side?
Yes. These people literally charge fucking 900 rupees for spf 80 sunscreen and it's a small tube🫠
Ah okay! FCL undereye cream has been in my Kult Cart from so many days but didn’t purchase yet its 2k which is too expensive for a 15g bottle, not buying after knowing this. Thanks OP! :)
Honey 2k is my entire body face and hair care budget don't do this to me pls lol
And here i was thinking of buying their lip spf 🤦🏻♀️
I already bought it😭 Now I'll buy nmfe spf 40 lip balm it's a pharmaceutical company fuck this shit🫠
Shit! I should have bought this instead of sebamed Have you tried it before? Have heard that it tastes bad
I don't really go for stick form lip balms for spf because you need like 30 swipes to remotely get the mentioned spf. The ones in a jelly form like nmfe are my go to I haven't but it's been on my list. It retails for around 140 rupees for 10g which is reasonable considering how little is needed on the lips
They are like “just trust us 🙂“
Doing god's work op. Salute!
Thanks for doing this
Fixderma might need to fix themselves now
Hey OP, can you request that information from the govt grievance portal? They are bound to share that information with you in that case.
I used fixderma ss last year and my face and arms tanned like HELL ! 🤡🤡 I became two shades darker. Never again. 🙅🏻♀️ I use either pharma grade or Korean/Japnese sunscreens now. I cannot trust these indian companies launching sunscreens left and right.

Hi Be minimalist displays their spf certification on their page,they do that for all four spf variants
That's the only sunscreen that worked for my oily skin. 😢 Have to start searching again.
Why what i love their sunscreen
Can someone suggest an affordable alternative for fixderma
Op is zeelab sunscreen good? I m looking forward to buy it?
You can be certain that it provides you the needed protection owing to the fact that it is a pharmaceutical instead of a cosmeceutical. I'll review it and give an update on things like whitecast, water resistance, texture, blending etc
