Pilgrim launches 5 per cent Niacinamide gel sunscreen SPF 50 plus

MUMBAI: Skincare brand Pilgrim has added a fresh layer of sun protection to its portfolio with the launch of the 5 per cent Niacinamide Hydra Glow Gel Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++, a lightweight formula designed for everyday wear.

Built around new-generation UV filters and the brand’s UVshield X technology, the sunscreen promises broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB and blue light. The formula uses European-approved filters such as Uvinal T 150, Uvinal A Plus and Tinsorb S, known for their photostability and long-lasting protection under strong sun. Pilgrim says the sunscreen does not oxidise or darken the skin and avoids hormone-disrupting filters, making it suitable for daily use. The SPF 50 rating has been verified through in-vivo and in-vitro testing at an independent clinical lab.

True to the brand’s ingredient-led philosophy, the formula pairs sun protection with skincare benefits. It contains 5 per cent niacinamide to help strengthen the skin barrier, refine texture and boost radiance, while Korean rice water adds hydration and nourishment. The result is skin that looks fresh and naturally luminous, even after hours outdoors.

Texture is a key part of the pitch. The gel formula is fast-absorbing, non-sticky and breathable, designed to sit comfortably on the skin without leaving a white cast or greasy residue. It is positioned as an everyday sunscreen suited to humid climates and ideal under make-up or on bare skin.

With this launch, Pilgrim continues to blend global beauty trends with accessible, ingredient-focused formulations aimed at modern, daily routines.
