The Vita-Clear Sunscreen

The Vita-clear sun protection is the ideal daily UV protection. With an incredibly lightweight and fast-absorbing texture, the SPF 42 protects your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Shiseido didn't stop at offering a simple sun protection. They also infused their sun treatments with Vitamin C. In just two weeks, this powerful skin-brightening formula helps smooth the skin and reduce dilated pores. The Vita-clear sunscreen is suitable for dry to normal skin types and leaves a no-shine makeup finish for up to eight hours.

What's Inside?

Shiseido Urban Environment Vita-Clear Sunscreen SPF 42 has below key ingredients:

Vitamin C Ethyl: This powerful antioxidant is well known for its brightening properties. It also helps prevent and reduce skin damage signs such as dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Hyaluronic Acid: Deeply hydrating this active is vital to retain and limit moisture loss throughout the day.
Hypotaurine: Helps to reduce the harmful effects of blue light on the skin.
Sun Dual Care™: This sun protective formula blocks UVA, UVB rays, and pollution for optimal protection.
Invisible Skincare Technology: his technology gives the product an invisible and smooth texture. It is the first water-gel-in-oil clear emulsion sunscreen.

My Experience

If you don't already protect your skin daily from the sun, then now is the time to start. I adore how easy and helpful this product is!

The Shiseido vita-clear sunscreen has a weightless texture that instantly penetrates the skin forming an invisible shield. I used this as a makeup primer and loved the non-sticky texture. I also found the smaller format easy to travel with and hold in the hand while applying the product.

My skin is pretty sensitive, and I encountered no problems. This sunscreen is one of the best I have tried, and I recommend it to those who want protection without the heavy layers. You can use it alone, as the sunscreen leaves a natural finish.

Another favourite from the brand is Urban Environment Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42. (Review here). For makeup, the latest launch from the brand is the TechnoSatin Gel Lipstick. (Review here)

Coola Sunscreen Review – Classic & Full-Spectrum 360°

Preet — Mon, 24 May 2021 03:24:08 +0000

Coola has a nice range of products focusing on sun protection. I am really impressed by how they cover all the needs and concerns of most skin types. Not just skin types, they do care for what texture and how you would like to apply the products. That means, even if you have sensitive, oily, or dry skin types, there is a sunscreen for you. And if you prefer a cream, spray, or a mist, there is one for your specific skin type. I have to say that Coola is doing really well for what their brand is known for i.e sunscreens. I am using Coola Sunscreen since last month and happy to share my thoughts on them.

Coola products are crafted with at least 70% certified organic ingredients. Also, the ingredients follow sustainable farming practices and support local communities. The products harness the power of plant cell actives to nourish and support healthy skin.

Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF50

Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF50 with White Tea is an organic moisturizer plus sunscreen. It is hydrating without being oily or greasy. And, it provides a sheer broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The formula is fragrance-free. The sunscreen is very lightweight, smooth, and comfortable. It blends nicely into the skin without leaving any white cast. I am very particular when it comes to sunscreens as most leave a white cast on my medium skin tone.

This one feels more like a nice lightweight moisturizer. It works nicely on its own as well as layers nicely under the makeup. Above all, it is water-resistant for over 80 minutes. It does not congest my skin and there is a glow it imparts to the skin. Plus, I find it so gentle, even for my kids. It definitely is going to be a staple in my skincare routine and a family essential for beach days.

Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30

Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 with Tropical Coconut is an organic sunscreen for the body. It is a very lightweight creamy formula, like the face version. The finish is a sheer veil of radiance, similar to a hydrating lotion on the skin. It does not leave any residue and there is no heavy feeling once applied.

This Coola Sunscreen is very comfortable on the skin, feels like nothing. It blends nicely without any white cast. The formula is very moisturizing, does not irritates the skin. And, it is water-resistant for 80 minutes. Again, a very family-friendly product.

Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist

Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist Organic Face Sunscreen SPF18 is a sunscreen in the form of a fine refreshing mist. The formula is infused with coconut water and aloe vera that are both so refreshing and soothing even on their own. The mist feels weightless like a spritz of water.

It keeps the skin comfortable, calm, and hydrating while providing sun protection at the same time. I love using it during the day just to freshen up or even to set my makeup. It adds an extra layer of protection as a makeup setting spray or while on the go.

Full Spectrum 360° Mineral Sun Silk Creme

Full Spectrum 360° Mineral Sun Silk Creme Organic Face Sunscreen SPF30 is an organic, oil-free sunscreen. The texture feels very silky and airy. It provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while also helping mitigate the effects of blue light and pollution.

It is very lightweight and blends nicely into the skin. The result is a natural glow on the skin that does not look oily or feels heavy. The formulation has non-nano zinc oxide that is transparent and airy. There is no white cast on the skin. It stays well just on its own or under the makeup.

Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops

Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops Organic Face Sunscreen SPF30 is a very lightweight sunscreen that can be used on its own or can be mixed into a moisturizer or foundation. It does not congest my combination skin. If used on its own, the silky lightweight formula blends nicely into the skin. I apply 5-6 drops per area of the face after my moisturizer. And when few drops are mixed into the foundation or moisturizer, it mixes and applies nicely. I mix equal parts of these drops and the foundation or moisturizer to mix them well before applying. Also, it does not leave a white cast on my skin nor does it makes my foundation oxidize.

In conclusion, I am really enjoying these Coola sunscreen products. Not just for me but they are perfect for the whole family, even for kids. They are lightweight, smooth, and blend nicely. Depending on the texture and finish of the formula, you can pick one. Classic Face and Classic Body sunscreen are my go-to for the whole family. Apart from providing sun protection, the products are very hydrating and comfortable.

Coola Sunscreen products are reef-friendly, which means I do not have to worry when wearing them on the beach. I also like the packaging of the products, very fun and lively colors. Plus, the tubes are 100% plant-based and sourced from sugarcane. The glass bottles of the mineral sunscreen, mist, and sundrops are also recyclable as well as can be repurposed.

Other sunscreens I love under my makeup are from By Terry and ReVive Skincare.
