SAFESCREEN TINTENSE is a community cocreated tinted sunscreen range built specifically for Indian skin. It offers broad spectrum protection from UV, infrared, and high energy visible light while delivering natural looking coverage. Shades are developed using IST (Indian Skin Tone), a science based tone matching method built on melanin index analysis and real world user testing. TINTENSE is available in both mineral and hybrid formats.

TINTENSE T1 (Bisque) is a hybrid tinted sunscreen combining bemotrizinol with non nano titanium dioxide and iron oxides. This hybrid system delivers broad spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light (>90%), blue light (>90%), and infrared (>90%). Enriched with beet extract and hyaluronic acid, it combines sun protection, skin tone coverage, and hydration in a single step. It’s suited for light to medium Indian skin tones, and is free from parabens, PEGs, phthalates, and endocrine disrupting chemicals.

It has a light, lotion like consistency that spreads smoothly and blends into the skin without leaving a white cast or greying. The finish is non greasy and moisturised, with natural looking coverage that helps even out skin tone. It’s designed to feel breathable and comfortable for all day wear - on its own or under makeup.

Yes. TINTENSE T1 (Bisque) is non comedogenic and suitable for all skin types. If you have dry skin, applying a light moisturizer beforehand can help improve hydration and ensure a smoother finish.

SAFESCREEN TINTENSE T1 (Bisque) undergoes both in-house and independent third party testing to ensure validated UV protection.

At CHOSEN, its UV blocking performance is assessed using the Labsphere UV Transmittance Analyzer. In addition, it is evaluated at accredited independent laboratories under established in vitro standards (ISO 24443 and IS 17493) and in vivo standards (ISO 24444 and IS 17494) for objective and comprehensive assessment. Third party testing certificates are available in the Images section of the product page.

TINTENSE T1 is immersion tested for 8 hours. If you’re mostly indoors, reapplication isn’t necessary. For extended outdoor exposure with heavy sweating, reapply once after 8 hours.

It works best when applied directly onto cleansed, moisturised skin before makeup. If reapplying over makeup, gently pat a thin layer onto the skin rather than blending. For a cleaner reapplication, remove existing makeup first.

It’s best to avoid layering face serums during the day. Serums are more effective when used in the evening, as the skin is less exposed to environmental stressors. During the day, TINTENSE T1 can be used on its own or paired with a moisturiser if additional hydration is needed.
