Cotz Face Natural Skin Tone SPF 40, 1.5 Ounce

Product Information

We wrote more about nanoparticles and the concerns around them here, but the gist is that if nanoparticles were absorbed into the skin that would be a reason for legitimate health concerns. You can make your daily sun protection efforts easier, healthier and more effective with CoTZ mineral sunscreen products. Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less good at 350-400 nm (UVA I) range.

CōTZ mineral sunscreens are perfect for tattoos because they reflect the UV light away and don’t absorb it into the ink. The brand has continued to evolve and expand its product range to cater to various skin concerns and needs. One of the many benefits of CoTZ mineral sunscreen is that when applied to the skin, sunscreen is virtually invisible and will not leave a white cast.CōTZ® Face Moisture SPF 35 mineral sunscreen hydrates skin while it provides broad spectrum protection from damaging UVA-UVB rays with gentle, lightweight 16% Zinc Oxide. In their raw state, some of these particles may be nano-sized, but before formulation the Titanium and Zinc Oxide particles are coated with inert ingredients, so they are “non-nano” as used in the products. The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicer and even broader spectrum protection. The Sensitive Non-Tinted Sunscreen does start to show its mineral roots after a few layers throughout the day (especially when exercising/sweating). Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable.

CōTZ® Flawless Complexion SPF 50 provides mineral sun protection in a sheer, lightweight tinted cream that virtually vanishes on most skin tones. My little one and I both have a medium brown skin tone so the chalky cast on most mineral spf turns us straight up grey/purple and worse yet, that grey purple cast lasts through multiple showers unless you seriously scrub it off your skin - not so great for kids or anyone with sensitive skin. All in all, if you've found a Zinc Oxide sunscreen that you are happy to use every single day, that's fantastic and we suggest you stick with it. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. If you're not satisfied with a product for any reason, at any time, send it back to us and we'll refund your money or send you a replacement.Honestly, I think anyone who has struggled with finding a decent mineral sunscreen should give these a try. Founded by a plastic surgeon on a mission to create healthier, chemical-free mineral sunscreen people would actually love wearing, CoTZ is a safer sunscreen option.

No dyes, fragrance, or essential oils are here which is nice to see (and a nice change from the potpourri bowl that is Supergoop! A silicone molecule that is half-way between Dimethicone and Methicone, meaning that some of the methyl (-CH3) groups are replaced with a hydrogen atom (in Methicone half of the CH3 groups are replaced). We kindly encourage you to wear UPF swimwear/clothing with your sunscreen to keep your skin protected from the sun’s UV rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens, which absorb UV light on and into the skin and produce heat, CoTZ mineral sunscreen reflects and refracts UV rays away from the skin. By incorporating it into your daily skincare routine, you're taking a proactive step in protecting your skin's health.
