evenly in its section, and watch it magically disappear into your skin. It's best
advisable to work in layers for a smooth application. Let the product settle in
for a few minutes before applying other products.
Upon opening the jar, you will find a smooth whipped mousse texture cream.
It is soft when you touch it, and dissolves into your skin within a second of
blending.

Understand the product
20% Zinc Oxide, a hero superstar sunscreen filter.
The OG when it comes to protecting your skin, trusted by cricketers and surfers alike.
The main downside is its usually drying nature and white color. The Harkoi sunscreen
solves both these problems.
Tint in 8 different shades
It seemed unfair to us that whitecast in sunscreen was still a problem in today's age.
Thus we've formulated 8 shades to encompass the wide variety of Indian Skin Tones.
Primer Base
We've reduced your morning routine to just one step, wash your face, blend the sunscreen and enjoy a smooth matte face all day long! It also helps extend how long the
sunscreen will last on your face.
Nourishment from Phytosqualane & Vitamin E
Both ingredients are rockstars when it comes to moisturising and protecting your
skin, but they also work universally on all skin types, be it dry, sensitive or oily.
100% MINERAL SUNSCREEN, NO CHEMICAL SUNSCREEN FILTERS
The story behind developing our flagship product, the Mineral Matte Sunscreen was to make a formula so safe that ever pregnant or breastfeeding mothers can use the product. Our product is made up of only Zinc Oxide, the safest possible sunscreen filter, the stuff that surfers & cricketers swear by. Unfortunately, we can't step out with the white paste on our faces like them, and thus the Harkoi team spent 2 years researching and developing a formulation that was hydrating for the skin, soft and luxurious in texture with absolutely zero white cast.

How it works
Solve Hyperpigmentation
Sun protection is one of the major components to solve this problem. Your body itself has healing & regenerative powers where it can work to reduce pigmentation from sun damage or acne scarring, but you would notice that as you age the process gets slower and the external damage that the pollution is causing happens much faster. That is why sunscreen plays such an important role. A tinted sunscreen provides an immediate solution to cover your hyperpigmentation while the iron oxides give you extra protection.
Help Aged Skin
If you are someone who has aging skin, you will notice that wrinkles, crow's feet, and fine lines are starting to develop. While it is a very natural part of aging, if you do want to slow down this process, then sun protection will really help you, because it acts as a barrier, protecting you from the pollution outside. A tinted sunscreen has additional iron oxides for protection while giving you a natural makeup look.
Before & After
Before using the Harkoi Sunscreen your natural skin shines through, but after using the Harkoi Mineral Matte Sunscreen you not only get even coverage, it gives you a nice natural matte-looking finish, and over the course of the day you will get less oily, less shiny and your skin will look radiant. It took us 2 years to perfect the formulation and texture of the formulation.
