Looking for a 100% natural alternative? Discover our Vegan Mineral Sunscreen Range - formulated without chemicals for the most sensitive skin types.

Advanced SPF 30, 40 and 50 Formulations

KoolaSun SPF 30 to 50 provides comprehensive broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection through our scientifically advanced triple-shield formula. Our signature blend combines:

  • Micronized Titanium Dioxide (Rutile) - Natural mineral protection that reflects harmful rays
  • Micronized Zinc Oxide (Zincite) - Essential broad-spectrum mineral blocker
  • Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate - Enhanced water resistance and UV absorption

Superior Mineral-Based Protection

Our formulation relies primarily on naturally occurring minerals that provide exceptional sun protection with minimal risk of skin sensitivity:

  • Rutile and Zincite minerals are derived from natural sources found in soil
  • These active ingredients physically reflect both UVA and UVB rays rather than chemically absorbing them
  • Unlike chemical filters, mineral blockers maintain their protective properties without degrading under sun exposure
  • Our selective use of Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate (trusted worldwide in baby sunscreen formulations for over 20 years) enhances water resistance while working synergistically with mineral blockers

Dermatologically Tested for All Skin Types

KoolaSun sunscreens are formulated with sensitive skin in mind:

  • Non-irritating formula suitable for facial application and sensitive skin conditions
  • Hypoallergenic moisturizing base combines water and light oils for comfortable wear
  • All UV blockers are globally approved for use on adults and children 6 months and older

Anti-Aging Antioxidant Complex

Each KoolaSun formula is enriched with skin-nourishing ingredients:

  • Vitamins A, C, and E function as powerful free radical scavengers (antioxidants)
  • This antioxidant complex helps combat the primary factors responsible for premature skin aging and elasticity loss
  • Bulbinella plant extract provides additional skin conditioning benefits

Optimal Application Guidelines for Maximum Protection

  1. Apply a generous layer to all sun-exposed areas of skin
  2. Allow 2-3 minutes for complete absorption
  3. Once absorbed, the formula leaves an invisible, non-greasy protective shield
  4. Reapply every 2 hours during continuous sun exposure to maintain effectiveness (particularly important for fair and sun-sensitive skin types)
  5. Always reapply after swimming, toweling, strenuous exercise, or excessive sweating
  6. Professional Tip: For maximum protection, especially for fair skin, apply two layers 15 minutes apart before sun exposure
