🌤 The Truth About Sunscreens in Pakistan
Pakistan’s climate is tough — long summers, high UV index, and unpredictable humidity. Most imported sunscreens are designed for cooler or less humid environments. That’s why many feel too greasy, too heavy, or leave a white cast that doesn’t suit our skin tones.
This is exactly what led us to create Shade by ELIXIR — a sunscreen made for Pakistan, by people who understand our weather and our skin.
💡 Why Shade by ELIXIR Works Where Others Don’t
1. Hybrid Formula for Broad-Spectrum Protection
Shade by ELIXIR combines physical and chemical UV filters, offering full-spectrum protection without the typical chalky finish.
2. No White Cast, No Stickiness
Formulated with silicone elastomers and skin-blurring agents, Shade gives a smooth, invisible finish — perfect under makeup or worn alone.
3. Dermatologist Approved & Safe for Sensitive Skin
Each batch is tested and reviewed by certified dermatologists. It’s non-comedogenic, paraben-free, and fragrance-free, making it safe for all skin types.
4. Local Climate-Adapted Hydration
Our formula includes Niacinamide and Vitamin E, to balance hydration in dry and humid weather — giving your skin that even-toned, hydrated glow even in Karachi’s heat or Islamabad’s chill.
☀️ Why You Shouldn’t Skip Sunscreen — Even Indoors
Up to 50% of UVA rays can penetrate windows, leading to premature aging and pigmentation even inside your home or car.
Wearing sunscreen every day — not just in summer — is your first line of defense against dullness and uneven tone.
🔬 The Science Behind Shade by ELIXIR
We didn’t stop at SPF. Our formulation is backed by data from UV sensitivity studies in South Asian skin tones, focusing on melanin response and barrier health.
SPF 50 | PA+++ | Hybrid Broad Spectrum
This means 98% UVB blockage and high UVA defense — ideal for darker skin that’s prone to hyperpigmentation.
