Behind The Brand: COOLA
Living under the sun & constantly hiking/ swimming/ generally being outside in San Diego- everyone typically knows that sunscreen is important, but did you know that even in cloudy/cooler climates sunscreen is important? It's often one of the most-missed steps when it comes to your skincare routine. That's why we love COOLA so much; They infuse SPF into daily skincare/body care products so we know we'll be protected from the sun, but also protected from pollution, UVA/ UVB rays, & blue light because we can't be separated from our phones.
COOLA really isn't just an SPF brand. They have some amazing ideals & are about as good as it gets ingredient-wise. At COOLA, they only use ingredients that follow sustainable farming practices and support local- which for a company of their scale- is really rare and very cool. This way you know the ingredients in your products are truly amazing & the best of the best. They believe that clean beauty should feel as good as it is healthy.
Every single one of COOLA's products are 70% + organic, farm to face, use plant protection, are antioxidant-enriched, cruelty free, gluten free & reef friendly. Many of the big-name SPF brands available in store aren't reef-safe and it's actually a big problem in the SPF community. We love that COOLA has the planet in mind with their amazing products...
Speaking of products, some of our favorite highlights from the new arrivals are their Refreshing Water Mist that not only has an SPF of 18 but protects the skin from blue light damage and pollution. With callout ingredients like Indian Jasmine that deliver an antioxidant-boost to help fight free radicals (that age your skin and cause wrinkles).
Another current favorite COOLA product is the SPF 30 Full Spectrum Drops that also protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays, blue light damage, and pollution. All of these are harmful free-radicals that break down the skin on a cellular level, causing premature aging, loss of elasticity, and wrinkles. If we can better protect our skin from them- we're game! The Full Spectrum Drops also blend in perfectly with your daily moisturizer or foundation- making this product the perfect addition to your daily routine.
