Theresa Holland is a commerce writer specializing in lifestyle and cosmetics. She considered dozens of sunscreens for the face for this roundup, evaluating each on active ingredients, texture and skin-feel of formula, and finish. This Coola face sunscreen is a chemical formula containing avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene; it doesn’t contain oxybenzone or octinoxate. There are also Coola mineral sunscreens for the face that contain only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Does Coola Face Sunscreen Leave A White Cast? I treated the COOLA Sunless Tan Luminizing Body Serum and loved it! It’s 70% organic, Ecocert Ceritifed & 99% natural. The Sunless Tan serum contains pearlescent mica for a sunlit golden shimmer, & sugar-beet derived DHA for that post-vacation radiance- with a pina colada scent.

What to Look for When Buying Sunscreen SPF Protection Between 30 and 50 The Mineral Liplux Tinted Lip Balms are buttery smooth and feel nourishing with plenty of butters like organic cupuaçu butter and mongongo oil.
COOLA’s Rosilliance is another favorite for mineral tinted sunscreens if you’re looking for something a little luxurious. None of our testers reported a white cast with the Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50. Even our bearded tester found that it disappeared without leaving any visible or chalky residue behind. Is Coola Sunscreen Nontoxic? I prefer the Skinny Dip and Nude Beach shades because they don’t contain petroleum derived lake dyes. The other shades do contain them to achieve the color.When it comes to SPF, which indicates how much protection a product offers against UVB rays (note: not UVA rays), it’s best to look for a formula that offers SPF 30 or higher. “An SPF of 15 filters about 93% of UVB rays, while an SPF of 30 filters out approximately 97%,” explains Halim. On the other hand, an SPF of 50 filters out approximately 98%, though a recent study by EWG claims that SPF products above 50 aren’t necessarily any more effective. That said, choosing a sunscreen with an SPF in the 30 to 50 range is best. Another great COOLA tinted face sunscreen, the Rosilliance BB Cream is a sheer lightweight tinted moisturizer that comes in three shades. The light/medium shade is a tad too dark but because it’s so sheer it just makes me look tan. The COOLA Rosilliance BB cream gives my skin a dewy finish while providing very light coverage. It’s perfect if you want your skin to look like yours while your minor blemishes are blurred. The Rosilliance cream also uses physical UV filter titanium dioxide to provide UV protection. A “nice glow” is how testers described the finish. I personally found that I loved how it made my skin look–fresh, bright and even more awake, with no white cast at all—and that it continued to feel great 2-plus hours later. I never expected a sunscreen to give my skin such a boost, and it was a very pleasant bonus. There's no debating the importance of applying SPF every morning—especially on your face. Everyday application is necessary to reap the benefits of SPF, as dermatologist Diane Madfes, MD, explains. "We are exposed to ultraviolet and infrared light every day that produces free radicals in our skin," she tells Byrdie. "These free radicals inhibit collagen production and decrease our elastin. This leads to premature aging, wrinkling, brown spots, and sagging."
When we first applied this product, we were pleasantly surprised at how seamless it is—it almost felt like we didn’t have sunscreen on at all. It has a smooth texture that spreads easily (almost like a liquid foundation) and is hydrating without becoming greasy. It doesn’t settle into fine lines or accentuate wrinkles, making it the perfect base for the rest of your makeup. The only thing that we could complain about is that the dewiness does fade throughout the day and would have to be reapplied if you’re using it for makeup coverage. But as we know, sunscreen should be applied multiple times throughout the day, so we still love this formula nonetheless. COOLA’s organic scalp and hair mist is SPF haircare that provides SPF 30 protection using chemical UV filters. With summer around the corner, if you’re looking to help prevent UV-related hair color fading an SPF hair mist is a great addition to your haircare regimen. The COOLA Scalp & Hair Mist is made with 70% organic ingredients including Monoi Oil to nourish scalp and hair. The mist is made up mostly of alcohol denatured so it sprays on like water and isn’t heavy or oily. It has a subtle salted ocean sage smell. After applying, we noticed that the sunscreen was able to hydrate and create a smoother base for makeup, acting as a moisturizer and a primer. It’s also oil-free, so it shouldn’t leave you greasy—but we noticed that it did leave a slight sheen on already oily skin types. Still, we’re giving this sunscreen top honors for its overall lightweight feel, high SPF protection, and clean formula. Five out of six testers raved about this Coola sunscreen’s lightweight, practically imperceptible feel. In fact, unbeknownst to us, it has been one Forbes staffer’s favorite for years. “I love that it provides ample coverage without irritating my sensitive skin,” she wrote. “It feels lightweight. I usually reapply my sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours when I’m outdoors, and it never feels like I have several layers on even when I’m reapplying it for the fifth time.” A Glowy, Healthy-Looking FinishWater (Aqua), Propanediol, Dihydroxyacetone, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Heptyl Undecylenate, Argan Oil, Polyglyceryl-6 Esters, Centella Asiatica Meristem Cell Culture, Hydrolyzed Algin, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides Polyglycerin-10 Esters, Sodium Hyaluronate, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil*, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil*, Cetearyl Glucoside, Alcohol Denat.*, Maris Aqua, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum, Xanthan Gum, Fragrance, Gluconolactone, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate. *Certified Organic Alcohol (ORGANIC), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (ORGANIC), Algae Extract (ORGANIC), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (ORGANIC ) Orange Fruit Water, Cucumis Sativus (ORGANIC) Cucumber Fruit Extract, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Diisopropyl Adipate, Ethyl Ferulate, Flavor, Glycerin (ORGANIC), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Juniperus Communis Callus Extract, Paeonia Lactiflora Leaf Cell Extract, Phoenix Dactilyfera (Date) Leaf Cell Extract, PVP, Silica Silylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Water Mineral Matte also contains ingredients like Cucumber Fruit Extract, Evening Primrose Oil, Linseed Seed Oil, Rose Hip Oil & Shea Butter to fight free radicals, leave skin hydrated and retain moisture.
