78 Labs: Invisible Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen in India
Sunscreen as good as the foreign ones.
Made for Indian skin, at an Indian price.
78 Labs is an invisible-finish, broad-spectrum sunscreen made in India. It offers full UVA/UVB protection with no white cast, no greasy finish, and no marketing nonsense — built in the open by two founders who wanted a daily sunscreen that actually worked back home.
Our first run is just 2,000 bottles. Join the waitlist and you're in the founding batch — first claim before public launch, at the founder price of ₹499, with free shipping.
You're already beautiful. This is about care, not fixing.
The good sunscreens were never made for us.
For years we paid import prices for the one sunscreen that truly disappeared on our skin. Many options on the shelf here left a grey cast or a sticky film — and some gave less protection than the label said.
So we decided to make it ourselves. We're not rushing a stock formula to market with an influencer campaign. We're building it to our own brief, taking our time to get the texture right, and publishing every lab test along the way. We believe trust is earned in public, not manufactured on a shelf.
Two founders, building this in the open — no influencer launch, no borrowed science.

Seven tubes.
Before the samples, there were the calls. Then seven tubes with no names, and three rounds of testing to find the one.
Nobody reads the certificate.
Early on, a manufacturer gave us kind advice: print the higher number, because nobody reads the certificate. Here's why we won't.
Starting over.
We went quiet for eight weeks. Our first partner couldn't take it further, so we went looking for one who could — and found a team that changed how we think about sunscreen.
