Why Shade by ELIXIR Is the Most Trusted Sunscreen in Pakistan — Real Results, Real Science

☀️ Because Your Skin Deserves More Than Just SPF

Pakistan’s climate isn’t easy on your skin — scorching summers, humidity, dust, and UV radiation year-round.
That’s why Shade by ELIXIR was developed not as a cosmetic, but as dermatologist-inspired daily armor.

🔬 Formulated with Science and Emotion

Our sunscreen isn’t just SPF — it’s protection that feels like care.
Microfine Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide form a mineral shield that blocks UVA and UVB rays, while Vitamin E nourishes and calms even the most sensitive skin.

The formula blends seamlessly into your routine — lightweight, non-greasy, and comfortable even in Karachi’s humidity or Lahore’s heat.

“It doesn’t feel heavy or sticky — I wear it under my makeup every day,”
— Ayesha (@withloveayya), Karachi-based influencer

Non-Comedogenic Formula — safe for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.
Vitamin E Infusion — fights free radicals and prevents premature aging.

This sunscreen goes beyond “no white cast.” It’s skincare in a bottle — protection, hydration, and comfort all in one.

👩🔬 Science-Backed Protection

A 2023 study in Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering highlighted that mineral-based UV filters (like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide) provide longer-lasting protection while being safer for sensitive skin — precisely why Shade by ELIXIR uses them as core actives.
