I’ve mixed natural skincare for friends, and starting a mineral-based sunscreen biz in India 2025 is a sun-smart move—clean beauty’s growing 15% yearly. Market Edge - Demand: Zinc oxide sunscreens at ₹500-1,000/100ml for eco-conscious buyers. - Cost: ₹50k for raw materials, mixers. Steps 1. Formulate: Use zinc oxide, coconut oil; test via dermatologists. 2. Legal: DCGI license (₹10k), MSME reg. 3. Sell: Insta shop, local spas. Produce 200 units/month = ₹30k profit. Stability’s key—lab-test formulas. Mamaearth’s model inspires. SPF 30 or 50 first?
