First off, the main active ingredient of Coola Plant UV Face SPF 30 Unscented Moisturizer is Zinc oxide which is a physical sunscreen agent that blocks both UVB and UVA rays to provide reliable broad-spectrum UV protection. If you’ ve been reading this blog for a while, you might already know that I’m a big fan of zinc oxide because it blocks a significantly longer portion of UVA (aging) rays as compared to titanium dioxide. Also, as a physical blocker, it actually blocks UV-rays from entering your skin and gives you SPF protection immediately after application. Just slather it on and go!
Coola Plant UV Face SPF 30 Unscented Moisturizer has an opaque tube packaging with a pump which is not only convenient but also ensures the formula isn’t exposed to light or air. As the name indicates, the product is unscented but does have a subtle sunscreen-like scent that dissipates soon after application. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy and absorbs pretty quickly into the skin without any white residue despite an ample amount of zinc oxide.
Infused with natural emollients like olive oil and linseed oil, it keeps your skin soft and well-moisturized but thankfully doesn’t have an oily/sticky feel on the skin and has an almost matte finish. Also, as there are no fragrances, preservatives or other skin irritating ingredients, the formula is gentle enough for use around the eyes without any issues.
Bottom Line – If you are in search of a new lightweight moisturizer with SPF that’s green yet luxurious, look no further than Coola Plant UV Face SPF 30 Unscented Moisturizer! It protects and nourishes your skin with vitamins, natural phyto-protectors, and age-defying antioxidants, all without the use of nasty chemicals.
This cruelty-free and biodegradable/reef-friendly product is also one of the top rated sunscreens in 2012 by Environmental Working Group.

SPF30 sunscreen is a lifesaver for me. The bare minimum I need to wear to go outside. This brand sounds great. Too many of them have SPF too low for my needs.
Hmmm…this seems like a great product to try out. It has lots of benefits for the skin which makes me want it to try it. I’m in search for a lightweight moisturizer and I think this is perfect for me.
