The Derma Co. appoints Sania Mirza as suncare ambassador

MUMBAI: Sania Mirza just aced sun protection because when the sun serves heat, even a Grand Slam champion knows the best defence is a killer sunscreen. The Derma Co., Honasa Consumer Limited’s active ingredient-led skincare brand, has roped in tennis legend Sania Mirza as brand ambassador for its suncare category. The association kicks off with a high-energy campaign film for its hero product, the 1 per cent Hyaluronic Sunscreen Aqua Gel, built around the theme of “attack and defence”.

Set on a tennis court, the film draws a sharp parallel between professional strategy and daily sun protection. Sania explains that winning a match requires both aggressive play and strong defence, a mindset she applies to skincare. The sunscreen, formulated with 6 UV filters for robust protection and 1 per cent Hyaluronic Acid for lasting hydration, is positioned as one product delivering “two superpowers” in a single application.

Sania Mirza said, “Spending years training and competing outdoors has made sun protection absolutely non-negotiable for me. Joining The Derma Co. as the brand ambassador for its Suncare category feels like a natural extension of that belief.”

The Derma Co. VP for marketing Divya Gupta added, “Sania’s journey as a world-class athlete who has consistently performed under intense sun exposure makes her a natural and credible voice for this portfolio. Through this partnership, we aim to strengthen awareness around the importance of daily sunscreen use.”

The campaign is now live across digital and social platforms, marking a bold new phase for The Derma Co.’s suncare range. In a world where UV rays never take a day off, Sania and The Derma Co. are reminding everyone that the best way to win against the sun is to show up prepared, protected, and powered by science, one consistent layer at a time.
