One month with Coola Suncare Citrus Mimosa Moisturizer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

Many people skip it altogether. Yet, sun protection is an absolute essential in anyone’s daily skincare routine. Rain or shine, clouds or sun, spending the day cozied up inside or outdoors – the sun doesn’t take any breaks in sending down its destructive UV rays.

We heard so many praises for COOLA organic suncare products, we had to see what all the buzz was about.

Before even applying COOLA Suncare Citrus Mimosa Moisturizer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 for the body, we were impressed that it was a mineral sunscreen, meaning it draws upon mineral sun filters (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) instead of harsh chemicals to shield skin from UV rays and everyday environmental stress.

After testing it for weeks, we can honestly say it applies beautifully and feels amazing on.
We love how powerful, resilient and lightweight this mineral sunscreen is. Salt, sea and sweat-resistant, it held up through a hike in the rainforest, snorkeling trip in the ocean, and active, long days in the sun.

The featherweight texture allows for a sheer application – When we say it glides on your skin, we mean it glides on. So, no crazy rubbing and awkward residue. It dries quickly and doesn’t leave a white film as other mineral sunscreens do.

Yet, this mineral sunscreen is ultra moisturizing with a potent cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that protect and repair sun damaged skin. COOLA Suncare Citrus Mimosa Moisturizer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is infused with omega-rich seed oil from Hawaii’s prized Kukui to soothe skin and balance moisture, Organic Coconut Oil and Organic Avocado Oil to deeply hydrate and nourish skin, and Organic Arnica Extract to reduce inflammation and reduce redness. The organic phyto-protector Plankton Extract rejuvenates while Orange Water tones and firms skin. Phew!

And don’t let us start on the heavenly smell: the natural, refreshing citrus mimosa scent smells like summer has been bottled.
