Is this sunscreen reef safe?

It's advertised as reef safe but that doesn't mean anything. The best thing to do (with any product) is to look at the ingredients list and then research those ingredients if they are reef safe. This product contains ingredients that are not pronounced as reef safe. Honestly, only sunscreens that only have zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide are reef safe. However, there are no federal guidelines to say what is/isn't reef safe, meaning consumers cannot rely only on what the manufacturers claim. This Coola sunscreen isn't the worst, but scientifically speaking per its ingredients - it is not reef safe.

Does this make your hair greasy?

Yes. I have thick, finely textured hair that is mostly long, but undercut (buzzed) on the back and sides. It works well overall and looks okay on the short part, but definitely looks greasy at the roots on the rest of my hair. For beach/pool use this is fine, but I'd hesitate to use it if I were trying to style my hair to look good. My daughter has a pixie cut with similar hair texture and it's okay. If your hair withstands styling oils, it might not appear as greasy. It smells decent and my freshly shaved sides didn't burn so I think it worked.

How can they claim organic when this has chemical sunscreen Avobenzone??

COOLA formulas contain at least 70%+ organic ingredients, as the sunscreen actives can never be organic!

It’s on the page: Ingredients : Active Ingredients: Avobenzone: 2.5%, Homosalate: 6.0%, Octisalate: 5.0% Octocrylene: 7.0% Inactive ingredients: Alcohol Denat.(ORGANIC), Algae Extract, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Cinnamidopropyltrimonium Chloride, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (ORGANIC Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Fruit Extract, Flavor, Glycerin (ORGANIC), Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Panthenol, Plumeria Acutifolia Flower Extract, Water (Aqua), Xylitol.

The perfect spray-based light sunscreen mist for hair

Effective, light, non-oily, non-clumpy, and clear. Great for kiddos and adults alike to keep scalp protected.

Perfect for sunscreen in your hairline

Have you ever been sunburnt right along the part of your hair? I have. Most sunscreen makes my hair sticky or oily, but this stuff is perfect for the top of the head and doesn't make my hair feel gross at all. It smells nice and feels lightweight.The only thing I don't love is the nozzle. The lid is a little odd to put on and the shape isn't great for travel, but the sunscreen itself is perfect.

Perfect scalp sunscreen

Amazing scalp sunscreen. Finally I don’t have to drag white sunscreen through my kids middle part line!Goes on clear. Makes hair a little stiff like hairspray but provides good coverage. I like it more than even the powder sunscreens and I think it lasts longer and covers more and I was able to use my fsa card to purchase it.

Great scalp sunblock

Great sunblock for the hair and scalp. If you overdo it some, it will look greasy, of course. Used it on a very hot sunny day where I was out for hours. Never reapplied it, and I still didn't burn. I'd still suggest to reapply a bit of it though, regardless of my experience. It doesn't smell bad and it does the job.

Totally recommend

The product works really well for the top of my head where I have a bit of thinning going on. The size of the bottle makes it really convenient to tote around. Smells great too

This has been my favorite sunscreen but. I love that it's FSA eligible a.d portable in my purse. The scent is so nice, clean, and fresh. I bought one for my husband to spray on his head. He likes it.
