Cotz Face Natural Skin Tone SPF 40, 1.5 Ounce

Product Information

The main concern with nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbed into the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). But, this heaviness absorbs down within a couple of minutes with a “residue” that I don’t have an issue with. Even if you have just had a laser treatment or chemical peel, or if you have Rosacea, Eczema, Lupus, Psoriasis or Acne, you can wear this Sensitive sunblock.

I thought it was a little greasy at first but it’s the perfect moisturizing sunscreen for dry winter months. The cons of the tinted sunscreen is I like it really slather a lot on and you can see that it doesn't completely rub in so what I do a lot now is use the Cotz sensitive and tinted together and it's a lot better. Applying even the most basic SPF protection can cause intense burning, making it difficult to do the right thing every day. CoTZ, which stands for “contains only titanium zinc” is preservative free, reef friendly, and water resistant.CōTZ mineral sunscreens are perfect for tattoos because they reflect the UV light away and don’t absorb it into the ink.

A light-feeling, volatile (meaning it does not absorb into the skin but evaporates from it) silicone that gives skin a unique, silky and non-greasy feel.I got it in hopes I would do better with applying sunscreen every day and also to create a light airy makeup look.

I'd love to always wear my favorite non-water-resistant spf, but unfortunately those are not so helpful for when you're at the beach/pool - on such days, I dread having to reach for the thick pasty gloopy water-resistant ones. The tinted version contains Mica and Iron Oxides for color but outside of that the formulations are nearly identical.

A2: All CōTZ products meet Reef Friendly guidelines, meaning they are 100% free of the chemical sunscreen actives Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, as well as all other chemical sunscreen actives. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable.We wrote more about nanoparticles and the concerns around them here, but the gist is that if nanoparticles were absorbed into the skin that would be a reason for legitimate health concerns. All in all, if you've found a Zinc Oxide sunscreen that you are happy to use every single day, that's fantastic and we suggest you stick with it. Since its founding in 2002, the CoTZ brand has been on a mission to deliver healthy, elegant mineral sunscreen protection that users can feel excited about putting on their skin every day for skin that feels good and is protected from harmful UVA/UVB rays.

Through the heartache of his passing and being left to raise three young boys on her own, she vowed to use her experience as fuel to bring awareness to the need of proper sun protection for all families. This product gives good sunscreen protection and a soft glow to my face (no dryness here and I'm 73 years young). A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". I had one son burn (face) while using this when we went up to the top of Haleakala volcano for a 4 mile hike, but we were at 10,000 feet, so more intense sun.I like to avoid the chemical ones, and I have found non-water-resistant mineral options that wear quite elegantly, but water-resistant options with an elegant wear had long eluded me. CoTZ sunscreen products also help prevent photo and cellular damage to the skin, whether it is airborne pollutants, wind or the damaging effects of radiation.
