Dermatologist-approved, safe for all skin types, and ideal for the Pakistani climate.

Description

Shade by ELIXIR is a premium, dermatologist-approved hybrid sunscreen engineered specifically for the Pakistani climate. By blending advanced mineral and chemical filters, it provides a high-performance barrier against UVA/UVB rays without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional sunscreens.

Why Shade? The Climate-Specific Edge

Most imported sunscreens are tested in cool, dry climates. Shade is different. We formulated this specifically to withstand the 40°C+ heat, intense humidity, and urban pollution of Pakistan.

  • 100% Invisible Finish: Guaranteed Zero White Cast on all Pakistani skin tones, from fair to deep.

  • Humid-Proof & Sweat-Resistant: A fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula that feels like a second skin—perfect for the Karachi sea breeze or Lahore’s dry heat.

  • Makeup’s Best Friend: Acts as a smooth, breathable primer that prevents pilling and keeps your foundation fresh all day.

  • Acne-Safe (Non-Comedogenic): Formulated to protect without clogging pores or triggering breakouts.


Pair it with our Hydrating Niacinamide by ELIXIR Serum for complete protection and nourishment.
