I received a sample from this face sunblock in this month's Glymm Box and I absolutely love it ! Most sun protection products leave my skin greasy and shiny, but this one has a unique light texture that literally converts into powder as you apply it. This is the first time that I really obtain a matte finish with sunblock, even though a lot of companies advertise it. The only thing that would make this product even better for me would be a higher FPS, which is not available at the moment.
This product sells for 36$ and comes in a 50 ml tube.
Here is how COOLA describes it:
"Say hello to your new everyday sunblock. A natural, mineral matte formula that gives you SPF 30, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while it hydrates your skin with vitamins, antioxidants and repairing extracts like Shea Butter and Borage Seed Oil that target early signs of aging. Soothing organic Cucumber balances skin’s moisture and delivers a refreshing scent. Naturally water-resistant phyto-protectors like Plankton boost SPF protection make this the perfect beach companion. 70% Certified Organic inactives, 95% Natural." |

I am so curious...how can it have shea butter and all those other ingredients and be powdery-like?
I too hate shiny greasy sunscreens, so I'm super curious about this stuff.
How long does it stay on?
Do high temps and/or weather conditions blow it off? |

Is it all the "cones" that make this powdery feeling? Any problems with breakouts?

| I also got a sample of this, but I didn't like it. It goes on nice enough and it has a nice cucumber scent but you have to rub it in quickly because it dries into a matte, powder-y finish. Anyway, it dries white in many places and settled into pores. And I can't imagine applying make-up over this so it's a no for me. |
