It is a gorgeous perfectly sunny day in LA, and I am in a happy good mood. Sunny days do that for me, how about you? Anyhoo, with the sun shining brightly I am focusing my next couple of posts on some wonderful new SPF products I have recently discovered. Today I would like to introduce you to Coola Organic Suncare (I just love the name!)
COOLA is a line of suncare products made from the certified organic, natural and advanced active ingredients. COOLA’s products contain natural phyto-protectors, certified organic extracts, and age-defying antioxidants and vitamins that protect and treat the skin. And all of their products are free of paba, paraben, petroleum and phthalate and are 100% made in the USA.
What I am loving about COOLA is the cool hip turquoise blue packaging, the fact the products are delicate and versatile enough to use everyday, they smell yummy and then they are organic to boot! Here are my two favorite products in the line:
COOLA Face SPF 30 in CucumberThis has been my daily ‘go to’ face moisturizer for the past couple of weeks because it is silky, lightweight yet hydrating, absorbs instantly, smells like fresh cucumbers and it has SPF 30. I like how it moisturizers my skin while at the same time it is not greasy and has more of a matte finish. This is everything I want in my daily moisturizer, but it is durable enough to wear during my extended days in the sun too. I likie!
This is a vitamin and antioxidant rich moisturizer that is formulated with twelve certified organic extracts including Cucumber, Rose Hips, and Comfrey that help tighten skin and stimulate healthy tissue growth. It’s moisture replenishing, won’t clog your pores, offers free radical protection, has natural photo protectors, and it’s ultra water and sweat resistant.
COOLA Liplux SPF 30 Original Formula
This is another new fav SPF product of mine, I throw it in my purse and use it all the time because it’s moist, super hydrating, smells like cherries/berries (its also comes in a peppermint vanilla scent with an SPF of 15 BTW) and it has an SPF of 30 (which is rare, most lip products have SPF 15).
Liplux is made of a vitamin and antioxidant rich formula which contains a proprietary blend of organic extracts and fruit butters like organic raspberry and avocado that really hydrate and nourish your lips. Add to that broad spectrum UV protection and natural photo protectors and you have a wonderful combination of moisturizing, treatment and protection. I love it!
COOLA also makes other wonderful products including Total Body with SPF 30 and Sport with SPF 45, as well as yummy smelling hand and body lotion bars.

I forgot to mention (so please consider this part of my first comment)
that I use Olay with SPF on my face and love it. For my body I just go with whatever is at hand and has a high SPF (above 30)

I am a fan on your facebook page!! Love your blog!!
I am definitely a fan of Neutrogena mist spray. I am so over those days of rubbing suntan lotion on at the beach and having sand stick to me everywhere. What did I ever do before sprays came out? I definitely go with the higher spf (don’t want to damage my skin!)
I signed up to get email updates, I love Solbar Zinc SPF 38 it protects my skin well and my skin seems softer thanks for the chance

I would love to win this! I have fair skin and freckles, so I am always looking for quality sun protection.
I just became a FB fan! I am soooo excited to try the Coola products! The only sunscreen that I currently wear is Mary Kay’s Timewise Day Solution w/ SPF 25. My resolution this year was to take better care of my skin… Watch out sunscreen, here I come!
I subscribe to your emails, and became a fan on facebook. Right now my favorite sunscreen is Biore Dual Fusion moisturizer with SPF 30.
I love Kiehl’s UV Protective moisturizing sunscreen. But have been thinking of switching to an all physical sunscreen.
I follow you on twitter. I’m @dreamofmcqueen!
For my kids, I use Neutrogena’s Dry Touch Sunblock or Ocean Potion Suncare for the Face: Clear Zinc Oxide and for their body Bull Frog Quik Gel Sport Spray. I use Banana Boat.
I became a fan on facebook!
I am in desperate need of a new sunscreen. But right now, my favorite is the sunscreen that comes in my bare minerals makeup 🙂
I am your 195th fan on FB! THANKS! This company looks fabulous!
You will think I am nuts but I don’t use SPF products. Shame on me!
I subscribed to the newsletter.
I love Burts Bees SPF 15 lip balm… its all natural and there’s nothing worse than sunburnt lips!
I use it all…the flavor for this week is
Eucerin Everday Protection face lotion. SPF 30.
I like it. It works and is easy on the wallet 🙂
Love your reviews..!!

Well I’m in UK so can’t enter but this does sound like a pretty cool range. I’m into Garnier or L’Oreal for suncare and Piz Buin for body lotion SPF (just love the smell). Although I’m African origin so don’t desperately need it!
Happy SITS Sharefest by the way 🙂
I’m a bacebook fan (Ria kodosaki):)
My favourite product is Korres tinted moisturiser,with spf 15 because it serves as a make up, a moisturiser and a sunscreen.
I’m an email subscriber! My favorite sunscreen right now is Dr. Robin’s Organic Sunscreen for kids. It’s all natural and organic, has a lovely light texture and is a no brainer for me because I can use the same product on my 9 month old.
i love the TruKid Sunny Days Sunscreen Facestick, facebook fan-ChacoyAguayo
i love bullfrog spray because it sticks like glue but yet doesn’t feel sticky. if i’m going to be out in the sun it’s my go-to SPF product.
My favorite daily sunscreen is Neutrogena’s Age Shield in either SPF 30 or 55. I use it every day under makeup. It goes on smoothly and isn’t greasy.
My absolute fave SPF is Neutrogena Baby’s sunscreen stick. On days when I know I’m going to be outside a lot, I smear it over my nose and cheeks before my foundation, and I don’t burn! I use it on the kiddos, too, because it doesn’t run into their eyes. Love it! And, it’s chemical-free!
