Sensitive Non-Tinted Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen for Body and Face; Broad Spectrum SPF 40; 3.5 oz / 100 g

I’ve been using this sunscreen daily for a little over two weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. First, the texture: it comes out fairly thick, which initially made me think it might feel heavy or greasy. Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case at all. It feels hydrating and nourishing without being overly greasy, suffocating, or uncomfortable on the skin. One of the main reasons I purchased this sunscreen is because it’s completely mineral, which I really appreciate. Finding a good mineral SPF can be difficult because most zinc oxide formulas leave behind a noticeable white cast. This is the first mineral sunscreen I’ve used that truly leaves no white cast behind. That alone makes it stand out. I also suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, so skin compatibility is extremely important to me. Many sunscreens can trigger irritation or flare-ups, but this one has been wonderfully gentle. I’ve used it consistently every day for over two weeks and have experienced zero flare-ups or worsening of my seborrheic dermatitis. At this point, I’m honestly enjoying this sunscreen enough that I may stick with it long term. It performs well, feels comfortable, and has been very compatible with my sensitive, dermatitis-prone skin. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen that is hydrating, cosmetically elegant, ot does leave a ever so slightly nice sheen on the skin which I like, and gentle on sensitive skin.

I have been using this sunscreen for 7 years and I love it. It's my favorite sunscreen for my dry, sensitive, and acne prone skin. It's non-comedogenic, fragrance free, and only zinc oxide so it's not irritating, doesn't burn around the eyes, and doesn't break me out. I've tried many zinc oxide sunscreens and this one is hands down the best. It leaves very little white cast relative to most zinc oxide sunscreens. Many zinc oxide sunscreens claim to be sheer but it's a complete lie (looking at you Neutrogena Sheer Zinc). This one leaves a very sheer white cast that I think for most light to medium skin tone people wouldn't be an issue. If you have a deeper skin tone you might like their tinted options. Additionally this one does NOT pill or flake off like many zinc oxide sunscreens so you can easily reapply throughout the day, including over makeup, without the texture getting weird. The only complaint I have about this sunscreen is I hate how the volume is just large enough that it's not allowed through TSA in a carry-on. They should either reduce the size by 0.1 ounces or make it bigger so there's not as much plastic waste.

I am so happy with this product! I was on the hunt for a new sunscreen after the one I used to use changed formulas and became clumpy and hard to blend in. Let me tell you, this sunscreen is not that at all! I think it may be my holy grail! I have very sensitive skin and can only use mineral sunscreens as the chemical ones are too irritating for me. I also am prone to acne breakouts. This sunscreen is not chalky and white like most mineral sunscreens, it blends in super easily, and has not aggravated my breakouts AT ALL! It is quite moisturizing, (doesn't need a separate moisturizer underneath,) and while it does look a bit greasy when I first put it on, after an hour or so it dries into a dewy/satin finish that I quite like the look of. I previously had tried the CoTZ Prime and Protect sunscreen which has a very matte finish and is equally mild on the skin, so if you prefer the matte look I'd recommend going with that one. I should also mention that while I have not gotten a white cast from this or the other CoTZ sunscreen that I tried, I am very fair-skinned, so someone with darker skin may want to go with the tinted versions. Bottom line - if you have sensitive skin and want a cosmetically elegant spf that is also moisturizing, give this a try!

This is great for all the people out there who have very sensitive skin. I have been really trying to up my game with sunscreen as this is SO important and hadn’t come across anything truly special yet. I didn’t want to give up but noticed that the sunscreens I had used before were either too drying or provided a white cast. I also didn’t want to spend a ton of money on 1 ounce of product to get what I was looking for - I found this brand and looked through all their various sunscreens and couldn’t decide. They have some which are more expensive than this one and give you less product probably because they are tinted but I want to mention that this particular one I am reviewing has NO WHITECAST. I mean it too. Just take the time to blend it. I myself am of color and continue to not have problems with blending this. Though this is a very moisturizing product that is greasy. So if you are of an oily nature, I would say just be aware that this is not matte by any means. I usually add a touch of powder on top but the shine is definitely not unbearable. I have quite dry skin and I am on prescription retinoids and and need all the moisture I can get. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this product. As you can see from the pictures, I bought this product when there was still the old packaging. I recommended this to a friend and they picked it up too but received the new packaging and it works just the same - it blends into facial hair (especially beards) nicely - For a product containing such a high amount of zinc, it’s usually hard to avoid a whitecast but somehow Cotz managed to do it and very well to say the least. Please give it a try if you are unsure on which Cotz product to purchase, have acne/sensitive skin or are on a budget. Good work Cotz. Will continue to repurchase. Side note: you need to reapply your sunscreens, regardless of the brand or type, at least every two hours if outdoors and at least every three to four (pushing it) if indoors. If you don’t reapply, you’re not doing your skin any favors! I reapply many times throughout the day and still have a decent amount of product left. It lasts awhile.

I bought this sunscreen for my wife, and I must say she absolutely loves it. It features a complexion SPF 50 – a mineral sunscreen designed to safeguard sensitive, breakout-prone skin with 20% zinc oxide, all without leaving that unwanted white cast. She has been using it for about a year, and it has been effectively protecting her face from the sun. She even started applying it to my boys, and now they constantly request it. While the price is somewhat on the higher end for a sunscreen, I believe it is worth the investment.

As a darker-skinned person, I have been on a mission to find a mineral sunscreen that is water-resistant with no chalky white cast and no sticky feeling AND no annoying fragrance. This one ticks all the boxes and it's very impressive that it wears so elegantly with 20% zinc oxide in the formula. 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. 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. I seriously wish I had found this sooner before spending on so many others that promised to be sheer zinc only to be the color and texture of white wall paint. My little one and I both have a medium brown skin tone so the chalky cast on most mineral spf turns us straight up grey/purple and worse yet, that grey purple cast lasts through multiple showers unless you seriously scrub it off your skin - not so great for kids or anyone with sensitive skin. So this one melts into the skin nicely with minimal effort and virtually no white cast. I probably wouldn't use it on the face as it's a little heavy for my oily/combo skin, but on a child's facial skin it would work just fine. It's not sticky at all, so if you're an adult with dry facial skin and/or don't mind a bit of dewiness, it could work on the face, too. I just prefer to invest in more lightweight elegant options for the face - and in general they seem to make more elegant formulas for the face in under 2oz sizes so they're not really applicable to the body, which is a bummer. While this isn't as small as the ones made for the face, since you need much more for the body, I wish it came in a 5oz size for the price. I have tested like 30 different mineral water-resistant options by now, and this one along with the C'est Moi sunshine sunscreen are the two best I've found. If price is a factor with this one, I would recommend checking out C'est Moi as it is similar in texture, also leaves no white cast, is also fragrance-free, is also completely zinc oxide formulation, and cheaper. Most importantly, if you have kids, this would make applying sunscreen on them much easier, since it's impossible to get kids to sit still for more than a couple seconds before they run off.

This is a good mineral sunscreen, water and sweat resistant. Not as drying as some zinc oxide lotions.

I'll start by saying that for brown skin,this definitely leaves the least minimal white cast for a non-tinted sunscreen. It blends in beautifully on the skin. My issues with the sunscreen are that the moment you do sweat that whiteness appears terribly as you can see in the picture. Along my forehead I started to sweat, I live in South Florida and the moment you step outside you get hit with terrible humidity. So for the summer this may not be the best sunscreen for those living in hot and humid climates. I would also say if you have oily skin stay away because this honestly just is very greasy. My skin postpartum has changed from oily to dry so I don't mind the look because it makes me look dewy. You will need to good oil cleanser or cleansing balm to remove this. You will not be able to remove this with just regular facial soap.

Very fast and great condition. Would buy again 👍

My favourite sunscreen for my face - nice and creamy, so easy to put on and not sticky, so very comfortable. Also, very good protection from the sun.

I like Cotz skin tone SPF 40 but I needed a non tinted formula too. I love the fact if u rub this in well it doesn't leave a white cast and I'm white/black carribbean, so I have dark skin. The reason I have not gave this product more stars is because it makes your skin look greasy.. That's if u put a decent amount on and with sunscreen if u want decent protection u need to put a decent amount on!

Very greasy oily texture🤨

It is expensive. Caused me to break out in spots ( and a pasty white face once the cream is on). It goes on rather like thick stage make-up and one has to rub quite firmly to distribute it into something "colourless" .
