Himalaya has received a US patent for CINNABLOC, an active sunscreen agent used in its Protective Sunscreen Lotion. CINNABLOC is extracted from the herbs Spiked Ginger Lily and Greater Galangal, which have natural UV rays protectant properties. CINNABLOC protects the skin from harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays.

Himalaya’s research team has successfully extracted the therapeutic benefit, in this case the sun-shielding properties, from the rhizomes of the herbs. The US patent has been granted for discovering a natural sunscreen composition and using it in a herbal cosmeceutical product.

With an SPF15, Himalaya’s sunscreen gives your skin maximum protection from the Indian summer.

Apart from the sun protection properties of CINNABLOC, Himalaya’s sunscreen also has the goodness of herbs like Aloe Vera, a fantastic moisturizer and Crab Apple, which prevents skin cell degeneration and premature aging.

The sunscreen is suitable for all skin types- even the most sensitive skin. It is dermatologically tested and the natural ingredients not only prevent darkening of skin but also provide it with nourishment and care.
