About this sunscreen
Coola Full Spectrum 360 Sun Silk Drops SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen using avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene, an older-generation filter set. It has a balanced finish, feels lightweight, and is reported to keep white cast low, which suits its serum-drop format. It is generally low on pore-clogging risk, though it carries a medium sting rating, so caution near the eyes is sensible. With a score of 67.4/100 and good protection, it is a workable daily option for those who prefer a fluid texture.
