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.

If you are someone who has aging skin, you will notice that wrinkles, crow's feet, and fine lines are starting to develop.

While the body is trying to regenerate itself, the sun's damage is happening at a much quicker pace. We really recommend using sunscreen every single day, because it acts as a barrier, protecting you from the pollution outside. Why use tinted sunscreen like

A: Yes! The Harkoi Mineral Matte Sunscreen is transfer-proof, due to its primer texture and the high-quality pigments used. Exceptions to the rule do apply. If you're wearing a white shirt, we would not recommend rubbing your face on it, because then a minimal transfer is possible, but if you are wearing a white mask that doesn't rub on your skin, you will notice no transfer. We've also noticed that a lot of people tend to apply a lot of product at once that they can't blend out. This can also lead to excess product buildup that transfers. Best option is to apply the product in light layers.
