About this sunscreen
Coola Mineral Face SPF 30 Matte Tint Moisturizer is a pure mineral sunscreen using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, with a tint that helps offset white cast. It wears with a balanced finish and no visible cast, does not sting, and is generally low for clogging pores, though the mineral base feels a touch heavier on skin. The tint helps it sit well under makeup. SPF 30 gives good protection, and the strong score of 82.6/100 makes it a dependable mineral option for the face.
