Tinted Sunscreen Market Segment Analysis:
Based on Type, the Tinted Sunscreen Market is segmented into Gel Tinted, Cream Tinted, Lotion Tinted, and others.

Tinted Sunscreen Gel provides minimal foundation coverage. It acts as a protective barrier from UV damage and also enhances the appearance of the skin. UVA and UVB protection is a broad spectrum. UVB rays are blocked 98% of the time. PA+++ provides adequate UV A protection.

Tinted Sunscreen Lotions shield the skin from the sun's UVA and UVB radiation, which is responsible for several common skin issues such as dark spots, premature aging, and uneven skin tone. Perfect for all seasons, it adds a subtle sense of colour. It leaves a matte finish with no white cast.

Based on the Sunscreen Protection Range, the Tinted Sunscreen Market is segmented in Upto SPF 14, SPF 15 to SPF 29, SPF 30 to SPF 49, and SPF 50 and above.

The Sun Protection Range of sunscreens indicates how efficient they are at preventing UVB-induced sunburn (SPF). An individual wearing the recommended dose of SPF 15 sunscreen, for example, can stay in the sun 15 times longer without being sunburned than if they were not wearing sunscreen. When applied as directed, sunscreens with SPFs of 15–50 block 93–98% of UVB rays. In the United States and the European Union, sunscreens claiming broad-spectrum UV protection must have a critical wavelength of 370 nm or higher, implying that 10% of the sunscreen's protection must be for UVA wavelengths over 370 nm.

The UVA Protection Range represents this ability (UVA-PF). The EU also mandates that a broad-spectrum sunscreen's UVA-PF be at least one-third of the labelled SPF. Broad-spectrum chemical sunscreens with an SPF of 15 or higher typically contain over 20% of various Ultraviolet B (UVB) and Ultraviolet (UVA) absorbing synthetic organic compounds, whereas mineral-based (physical) sunscreens have slightly lower levels of UV scattering, reflecting, and absorption nano particles like titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO).
