02 · THE PROBLEM

Most Indian men don't use sunscreen daily.
Not because they won't.
Because nothing has been built for the way they live.

WHAT MEN ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE

  • White cast that makes skin look grey or ashy
  • Greasy shine within hours in Indian heat
  • Too much effort for a daily habit
  • Pilling under stubble, sweat, movement
  • Eye sting and discomfort outdoors
  • Heavy formulas that break in real life

WHY THE MARKET MISSES IT

Men's grooming
Male-coded, but skincare is SKU #47. Formulation depth is weak.
Science-led unisex
Strong formulas, not built around the male daily occasion.
Legacy mass
Easy to find, dated science.
De-tan / brightening
Validates demand, but skews brightening — not daily protection.
03 · The solution

A formulation built to effectively solve for:

Heat Hold

Matte through Mumbai afternoon. No 2 PM oil break.

Stubble Compatible

No pilling on shave or beard. Lays flat under hair.

Sweat Comfort

Designed for comfort through heat, sweat and movement. Built for the gym, the commute, the field.

Zero White Cast

Tested on Fitzpatrick III to V. No grey, no ashy, no compromise.

04 · The Hero

05 · THE SCIENCE IN ONE SCREEN

Most Indian sunscreens still use older UV chemistry.
INCUS uses the modern generation.

Oxybenzone. Octinoxate. Avobenzone. These are the UV filters most men's and mass sunscreens still run on.

INCUS uses a modern triple-filter stack: Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, and Uvinul T 150.

It's a formulation choice, not a marketing one.

07 · Built by
Founder

I built this because I got tired of sunscreens that weren't built for me.

I'm Shivam. I'm building INCUS for myself, as a customer first.

Every sunscreen I tried as an adult man in India either made me look grey, broke into an oil slick by noon, or carried the kind of heavy fragrance I did not want on my face every morning. None of them were built for stubble, heat, sweat, or the 30 seconds I actually have in the morning.

INCUS is what I wanted to exist. A modern UV filter stack, engineered for Indian conditions, priced to be used every day — not saved for holidays.
