Collection: COOLA

Classic sunscreens use chemical (also commonly referred as “non-mineral” or “traditional”) active ingredients designed to absorb and dissipate UVA/UVB rays, while Mineral sunscreens use mineral (also commonly referred to as “physical”) active ingredients such as Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to scatter and reflect UVA/UVB rays. All of our formulations, both Classic and Mineral, guarantee broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays! Those with sensitive skin should try our Mineral formulations!

Can I use COOLA products while pregnant?

Yes! COOLA products are safe to use while pregnant.

All COOLA products are safe for use during pregnancy as well as while nursing. Before using COOLA products, however, we highly recommend reaching out to your physician for guidance. Every person and pregnancy is different, and it's important to have your healthcare professional address any specific concerns.

Does COOLA use benzene?

Benzene is not an ingredient in any COOLA product.

Additionally, in the recent report released by Valisure LLC, the COOLA products tested were confirmed NOT to contain benzene.

What is Aluminum Hydroxide? Does COOLA use this ingredient?

COOLA uses Alumina/Aluminum Hydroxide as a coating for titanium dioxide, as it prevents it from clumping and allows an even application. This ingredient does not penetrate into the skin, rather it forms as a refractive layer that helps reflect UV rays away from the skin. Alumina/Aluminum Hydroxide is not to be confused with the controversial Aluminum Chlorohydrate or Aluminum Zirconium, which is used in antiperspirant type products and potentially believed to be an endocrine disruptor/cancer causing ingredient. Here at COOLA, we believe the best sunscreen is one that is worn everyday, and therefore chose to create unique formulas in a variety of scents, textures and applications, that are above all safe and effective to use!

Benzene can be detectable in some raw materials, including those derived from petrochemicals and petroleum. COOLA formulation standards prohibit the use of petroleum-derived ingredients in our formulas, and only allow the use of EU-23 allergen-free naturally-derived fragrances as well as naturally-derived flavors.

Do you use alcohol in your products?

Alcohol is only in a few products to help with formula delivery.

Alcohol is used in only a select few of our products solely when it is required to aid in the delivery of our formula, as it helps oil-based ingredients like sunscreen actives blend with other ingredients. Rest assured! When we do use alcohol, we only use alcohols that are plant-derived and organic!
