Guide Review - Coola: Sunscreen
I'm excited to tell you about Coola, because it has become my current favorite sun care line. Before we talk about how fantastic this company is, I have to tell you just how fantastic their sunscreens smell. Coola has four fragrances for your body: Mango, Plumeria, Cucumber and Unscented, and two fragrances for your face: Cucumber and Unscented. I had a chance to try out each scent, and fell in love with them all. My favorite would probably be Plumeria, with Cucumber close behind. If you have always wished for a body moisturizer with SPF, that's basically what you're getting with Coola; fabulous smelling sunscreen that moisturizes as well as protects against the sun and aging with the inclusion of antioxidants.
Coola sunscreen ranges in protection from SPF 30 to SPF 45, and have been endorsed by the American Lifeguard Association. Their approach to business is one that should be emulated by other companies. They use bio-degradable packaging with earth-friendly inks and recycled papers. They do not test on animals, but instead tests solely on humans. Their products are made in the United States, and Coola donates part of their profits to skin cancer research.
If you're looking for your face, Coola: Cucumber Face SPF 30 has a light lingering scent that you'll be happy to apply on a regular basis. It is a thick cream that soaks in quickly leaving your skin matte. It is water and sweat resistant, and uses ingredients known for being gentle and non-irritating.
I really am in love with the Coola line, and would recommend their sunscreens to anyone who is looking for an earth friendly option in sun care. Especially for those who are hesitant to use sunscreens with a strong tropical scent.
