Which is the best sunscreen? Our recommendation is Coola. The Coola quest is to spoil your sometimes finicky, always worthy skin with the most pure, eco-conscious products possible. After all, you may obsess over what you put in your body, but think about what you put on it. They consciously chose to develop this line using as many ingredients as possible that are natural, organic, sustainable and locally sourced, much like the foods we prefer to eat. Green, yet still luxurious, each of our high performance products protect and nourish the skin with vitamins and age-defying antioxidants, while remaining free of parabens, paba, petroleum and phthalates. An advocate of both research and education, COOLA donates to the Melanoma Research Alliance and Healthy Child Healthy World.
The full line of luxury sun and skincare products incorporate a Farm to Face® sourcing philosophy, using the freshest and most natural ingredients whenever possible. Look for their organic formulas that contain over 70% certified organic ingredients and are easily identified by our organic seals. Additionally, they formulate with Plant Protection®, which allows them to achieve clinically tested, broad spectrum and antioxidant-rich protection while using fewer traditional actives. Better for your skin, better for the environment. Today, COOLA continues to pave the way in the sun care industry.

Very good review. It’s been long time I haven’t change my sunscreen as it really suits my skin, but after reading your review I am gonna try Coola organic sunscreen. Hope its works for me. Keep sharing such useful reviews.
It is a wonderful brand and I use the whole line including their chapstick. Keep this in mind, that sunscreen does lose its protective properties and does not usually last over a year. Always good to pitch old sunscreen out and get some new stuff 🙂
It’s good to know about Coola sunscreen, Leahrae.
Even though I was born and raised in the Tropical weather, as an adult I only started to use sun protection in my late 20’s. This has given me a few undesired skin spots. Nothing to worry about but totally unnecessary!
Now I know how important sunscreens are and believe Coola is a great option.
The fact that they’re also environmentally conscious makes it even better.
Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Elaine. I live in a tropical climate as well, and well I just started using sunscreen when I moved here. Thankfully I don’t have any skin damage to worry about, but I do use it religiously now, and I love Coola Sunscreen. Thanks for reading!
Hey,
Great post.
Thanks for sharing the information on sunscreen. I have very tender skin and I can be in the sun for 5 minutes and get absolutely burnt. So I need to put the highest factors on at all times when I am in the sun.
I am definitely going to try the products you have discussed above, it is coming into the hot months now so I need to get my act together.
Thanks again,
Tom
Good Tom! I love a good tan, and I am a beach bum. But I also know the risks associated with sun exposure. So I keep my skin covered. I would get the 50 spf since you burn so easy 🙂
Oh, I thank you for this review! I take medications that make my skin more sensitive to the sun so I have to make sure I wear sunscreen but some sunscreens don’t work as well as others so I am always looking for a good one. I love that these are organic and the amount of SPF is great. I would love to try the cucumber scented one because I don’t like the smell of some sunscreens, but I really like the matte one because of the shea butter. Wow, so many great choices. Thanks!
Yes, Coola is just a really great sunscreen and I like that it is organic too. And it smells wonderful (the cucumber) and not like your normal sunscreen scent. Thanks for reading about Coola Sunscreen.
I’ve never heard of Coola before. Do you know if they have one designed for babies?
Yes, they do actually. Coola is a super good sunscreen. They sell a huge variety of products. I tried to highlight the most popular ones. Thanks for visiting Coola Sunscreen.
clean site. I like the image. Where did you get it? What beach is it? Have you been to a lot of beaches? Do they make this sun screen in spray-on or mist. I don’t like the feel of lotion on my hands. I know weird but true. Where did you find this sun screen?
I actually don’t remember where I got the image. Yes, I have been to a lot of beaches…I am a true beach fanatic. This sunscreen does come in spray and in lotion. I like lotion myself but use the spray on my son. Thanks for visiting!
I always try to exercise concern when choosing what I put on my skin, and especially my children’s skin. We spend a lot of time outside in the Florida sun, so protecting our skin is of the utmost importance. As you know, it gets hot here!
I read that the Coola sunscreen is good for all skin types, but is it light, meaning do you feel it when you out it on or not? I like light feeling lotions and creams. I was wondering if this one would fit that bill.
Yes, it is light meaning not a heavy sunscreen. I personally love it!
Great review of what looks like a great product! I live in the UK so wouldn’t use it day to day (!) but next time I go on holiday abroad I will definitely look for this. Thanks for the info!
You are welcome Chris. I love this product actually and my family all uses it!
I live in the desert and I have got to try this!!! It sounds amazing! Moisturizer is a MUST HAVE here. My skin peals if I don’t use a moisturizer daily. EW! Thanks for the great review. I am going to have to give it a try and if I love it, I will share this link with my friends. Thanks!!! Bookmarking now!
You are welcome Rachel. Yes, I lived in the desert for 10 years, and this suncream is the best. Not only does it keep away the harmful rays, it moisturizes really well.
Very good review! It’s hard and yet pretty darn important to find a good sunscreen. I’ll be packing Coola next time I travel to Mexico!
Ok, great! Make sure you check out my Mexico section. Glad you enjoyed your visit to my website!
Very nice. Living here in the desert in Palm Springs, Ca it is sunny pretty much 358 days a year. So this would be a great product to have. Thanks for the great review. Will have to get some.
It is a really great sunscreen, and yes same here for the most part in Dallas.. hot hot hot and sunscreen is a must!
Very good review I have been planning on going to the beach for sometime now. I can now mark getting sunscreen of my to do list. This is a product worth trying and I will do just that. I hope it works as good as it says it does. Thank you for the information. I’ll be following up to let you know how it worked out.
Yes, I truly believe it does work as advertised, from personal experience 🙂
Great Product review. I have sensitive skin and very rare I would find a product that is good for my skin and great for sun protection. I love the fact that is has all natural and organic ingredients.
Is this product suitable for the whole family? I will definitely buy this product!
Yes, it is suitable for the whole family. They carry a huge selection. I am trying to be more conscious of what I put on and in my body. This sunscreen is awesome!
