What better to create a skincare brand than 100% organic coconut? Sustainably sourced from Philippines farms, the brand enriches its coconut-based products with active ingredients.

With the sunny days right on our doorstep, I was more than eager to discover their suncare collection. From their light, airy moisturizing mists to their dewy sunscreen protection, they promise to keep us safe this summer.

I decided to try two of their products, including the new Antioxidant Face Shield Mineral SPF 30.

Kopari Beauty Antioxidant + Protection + 100% Mineral

Yes, you heard correctly! This mineral, SPF 30, protects the skin from harmful sun rays. With its lightweight texture and no white cast finish, this sunscreen is perfect for everyday use. Wear it alone or under makeup without any problems.

Enriched with hyaluronic acid and triple-powered antioxidants, our skin receives deep moisture and protection daily.

Suitable for every skin type, the formula is Vegan, Cruelty-Free, and Reef Safe. Because nobody wants to harm the deep blue.

How to use it?

Simply apply three pumps of cream into your hands and evenly spread it across the face. It is always ideal to do it 15 minutes before exposure. Remember to renew the application every 2 hours.

Review

I am very impressed with this product's quality and comfort to my skin. I am usually skeptical about mineral sunscreens, but this one leaves a glowy transparent look. Perfect for that fresh face makeup.

I am all for brands that promote clean, safe products. The world being our home, it is only correct we treat it accordingly. One point I find a little disappointing is that it is not waterproof.

This means that if you sweat a lot or go for a cooling dip, you should renew your application.

Kopari Beauty Sun Shield Body Glow Broad Spectrum SPF50

Get your tan on with this shimmering gel SPF 50 sunscreen from Kopari Beauty.

This clean, mean body sunscreen offers strong, safe sun protection while deeply moisturizing your skin. With a sun-kissed glow and a sweet coconut milk scent, you can say bye-bye to dull, dehydrated skin.

With a Water-Resistant formula, you can make the most of your day as Kopari's unique rich superfood oils that are found inside give you some well-deserved love:

-Macadamia + Hibiscus oils: Minimize UV irritations and repair skin.

-Vitamin E: Calms and protects.

-Avocado + coconut oils: Moisturizes and nourishes the skin.

-MICA: Mineral shimmer.

How to use it?

Apply 15 mins before exposure and renew after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating. After towel drying, renew immediately.

Review

After years and years of using oily body sunscreens, I have finally found a texture that does not stick or stain clothes.

The gel glides onto the skin, leaving a beautiful, natural shimmer and a soft touch. Perfect for that summer getaway, I even used it on my legs in the evening to add an extra glow.

Ending on a sweet note. More specifically, the fragrance of this product just makes you feel beautiful!

Well, today, I am going to review Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42. I have been using this for about 3-4 weeks now, so I have a fair idea of how it performs in different weather conditions, and I also got a chance to try this under makeup.

Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42

Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42 is a lightweight, water-resistant sunscreen that provides a broad spectrum of protection against UVA/UVB rays and pollution. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid, which attracts and retains moisture, and helps to prevent signs of ageing caused by dryness.

The formula also contains Spirulina Energy Essence, which helps to maintain the skin's natural moisture level and doubles as a primer for makeup application.

The sunscreen is Dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologically tested. It is also free of oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, alcohol, and fragrances.

Key Benefits

• Protection against UVA/UVB rays

• Perfect for everyday use.

• It blends perfectly with my other skincare products and makeup.

• The sunscreen is water-resistant, so you can spend time in the water without worrying about losing your protection.

My Experience

I took this sunscreen with me on a trip to Florida and wore it every day for about 3-4 weeks straight with no issues whatsoever. My skin felt hydrated, moisturized, and protected from the sun's harmful rays.

I have combination skin prone to acne, so I am always on the hunt for a sunscreen that works for me. I tried this sunscreen out, and it's been great so far!

The texture of this sunscreen is very light and absorbs quickly into the skin. It keeps my skin matte all day long without making me look like an oil slick in the middle of the day. It has also been protecting my skin from sun damage very well so far as there have been no sunburns or redness from using this product.

Overall, it is a solid choice for those looking for an oil-free sunscreen with a matte finish and no white cast. It leaves behind no residue and has the added benefit of being water-resistant, so it's perfect for an outdoor and active person.
