Feb 24: Deconstruct, the science-backed skincare brand known for its “Highly Effective, Yet Gentle” philosophy, has announced a formulation upgrade to its bestselling Gel Sunscreen, setting a new benchmark for sun protection designed specifically for Indian weather and skin needs.
The upgraded Gel Sunscreen is now formulated with four new-generation, highly photostable UV filters including Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus and Uvinul T 150. Globally recognised for their superior stability and broad-spectrum protection, these modern filters remain effective for longer periods under sun exposure, unlike older-generation filters that can degrade and lose efficacy.
Photostability plays a critical role in sunscreen performance, as unstable filters can compromise protection even with regular application. By upgrading to modern, photostable filters, Deconstruct’s Gel Sunscreen offers more reliable and long-lasting protection, bringing Indian sunscreen formulations closer to global benchmarks for durability and performance.
The upgraded formulation reflects the brand’s focus on incorporating some of the most advanced, globally recognised UV filters currently available, marking a significant step forward in high-performance sun protection for the Indian market, an approach that has been acknowledged by dermatologists and skincare experts.
While the science has been strengthened, the product continues to offer the cult-favourite gel texture consumers trust. The ultra-lightweight, airy gel spreads easily on the skin, absorbs quickly, and leaves behind a non-greasy, non-sticky finish with no white cast. Designed specifically for oily skin types and humid Indian climates, the sunscreen remains comfortable for daily, repeat use.
Speaking on the formulation upgrade, Malini Adapureddy, Founder & CEO of Deconstruct, said,
“With this upgrade, our goal was to strengthen the science behind sun protection without changing what consumers already love about the product. Indian conditions demand sunscreens that stay effective under prolonged sun exposure, and this formulation brings stronger photostability aligned with global EU benchmarks while retaining the lightweight gel texture that makes daily use easy and comfortable.”
The upgrade to the Gel Sunscreen reflects Deconstruct’s continued focus on building skincare solutions that combine global-standard science with formats tailored for Indian skin and lifestyles. The reformulation marks a shift towards more durable, performance-led sunscreens that work effectively beyond just SPF numbers
