Product Information

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. The Coola sunscreen goes on smoothly, much like a thin face lotion, and it doesn’t take a lot of ...

The COOLA sunless tan serum completely absorbs and doesn’t stain onto bed sheets even if you get sweaty at night like me. You can use it daily to build the tan.

COOLA is a clean sunscreen brand that uses at least 70% certified organic ingredients with a Farm to Face approach. COOLA is widely sold at ULTA stores and has a large array of both mineral and chemical sunscreens in fragrance free and scented options to suit all preferences. While COOLA does use a very high percentage of organic ingredients, one thing to note is many of their products use chemical UV filters. But, COOLA’s luxe and high performance products are undoubtedly convenient and very easily accessible thanks to ULTA. If you’re not sure you’ll like a product, you can always head over to your nearest ULTA store and try out their tester products. I’m sharing the best and worst COOLA sunscreen products in this COOLA review. 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. COOLA’s Rosilliance is another favorite for mineral tinted sunscreens if you’re looking for something a little luxurious.

I have yet to see another clean spf hair mist, so the COOLA Scalp & Hair Mist might be the only one available. If you’ve ever gotten a sunburn on your hairline you know that it can be a nuisance. I’m all for protecting the scalp and hair from damaging UV rays if at all possible. I’m not a chemist but I imagine it would be difficult to create a 100% mineral hair mist without adding some kind of chemical UV filter bevause the spray would go on white and weigh down hair. 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. Californian brand COOLA is passionate about creating beautiful product experiences that embody a happy, healthy lifestyle. Believing that clean beauty should feel as good as it is healthy, they’re on a mission to develop organic products that not only deliver noticeable results, but are a pleasure to use every single day.

She considered dozens of sunscreens for the face for this roundup, evaluating each on active ingredients, texture and skin-feel of formula, and finish. 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.
