![]() The last thing I want is to trade a sunburn for some kind of chemical burn. I’ve noticed that some cheaper sunscreens will leave a burning sensation around my eye area. But if I’m tightening my budget, I have to sacrifice the expensive sunscreen and go with my drugstore choices. A bottle usually lasts me a couple months with daily application. ![]() Luckily, it spreads well and you don’t have to use a lot to cover your face. For me, that places Coola firmly in the fancy shmancy sunscreen section. For all its skincare and protection awesomeness, you’re going to have to pay. Here’s where I get tripped up about Coola. You don’t have to worry about what’s in your sunscreen when you use Coola, it avoids all those toxic chemicals. Recent studies have found that common sunscreen ingredients, like oxybenzone, can disrupt hormone levels and cause issues to reproductive and thyroid systems. And there’s no ghostly-white cast that many sunscreens leave. My skin always feels softer after applying. It also contains rose hip seed oil, which deposits antioxidants into the skin, plankton extract, and shea butter. The ingredients in Coola sunscreen take it beyond sun protection and into skin nourishment. Maybe my nose isn’t sensitive enough, but they also offer an unscented version if you can detect a smell. I have Coola in the cucumber scent, but I absolutely smell nothing in it.

This is the beauty era of faces glistening with highlighter and hydration, and I find that once I’ve finished putting makeup on, the shine is just enough to glimmer without looking greasy.īecause Coola is lightweight it’s perfect for my everyday sunscreen- it doesn’t look like I’ve glopped on heavy duty sunscreen. Although their site says that the product will reduce shine, I find that it adds a little shine-but in a good way. Here’s where Coola scores in those sections: WeightinessĬoola’s lightweight formula is perfect for layering under makeup. My main considerations are weightiness, smell, ingredients, price, skin reaction, and SPF level. Generally when I find a sunscreen I’m willing to commit to, several factors come into play. (Yes, I use different sunscreens for face and body). ![]() Right now, I’m using Coola sunscreen for daily application to my face. Since I go through so many tubes of sunscreen, I tend to become obsessed with the ones that work for me. If you catch a whiff of some strong, banana boat smell in the middle of a dark and cloudy winter’s day, I’m probably close by. I slather on the sunscreen every day, in every season. This blog post is 100% my own opinion and I have not been compensated monetarily or with any products. See the smudges on the bottle for proof that this goes everywhere in my purse with me. Yes, I broke out my shag rug to take a picture of my beloved (and pricey!) everyday sunscreen.
