COTZ Sensitive Non-Tinted Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen for Body and Face; Broad Spectrum SPF 40; 3.5 oz / 100 g

I have been using this sunscreen for 7 years and I love it. It's my favorite sunscreen for my dry, sensitive, and acne prone skin. It's non-comedogenic, fragrance free, and only zinc oxide so it's not irritating, doesn't burn around the eyes, and doesn't break me out. I've tried many zinc oxide sunscreens and this one is hands down the best. It leaves very little white cast relative to most zinc oxide sunscreens. Many zinc oxide sunscreens claim to be sheer but it's a complete lie (looking at you Neutrogena Sheer Zinc). This one leaves a very sheer white cast that I think for most light to medium skin tone people wouldn't be an issue. If you have a deeper skin tone you might like their tinted options. Additionally this one does NOT pill or flake off like many zinc oxide sunscreens so you can easily reapply throughout the day, including over makeup, without the texture getting weird. The only complaint I have about this sunscreen is I hate how the volume is just large enough that it's not allowed through TSA in a carry-on. They should either reduce the size by 0.1 ounces or make it bigger so there's not as much plastic waste.

I bought this sunscreen for my wife, and I must say she absolutely loves it. It features a complexion SPF 50 – a mineral sunscreen designed to safeguard sensitive, breakout-prone skin with 20% zinc oxide, all without leaving that unwanted white cast. She has been using it for about a year, and it has been effectively protecting her face from the sun. She even started applying it to my boys, and now they constantly request it. While the price is somewhat on the higher end for a sunscreen, I believe it is worth the investment.

Best sunscreen available! Mineral-based, so it's healthier and more effective, but does not leave a white cast on your skin, it disappears completely. Worth it!

This is great for all the people out there who have very sensitive skin. I have been really trying to up my game with sunscreen as this is SO important and hadn’t come across anything truly special yet. I didn’t want to give up but noticed that the sunscreens I had used before were either too drying or provided a white cast. I also didn’t want to spend a ton of money on 1 ounce of product to get what I was looking for - I found this brand and looked through all their various sunscreens and couldn’t decide. They have some which are more expensive than this one and give you less product probably because they are tinted but I want to mention that this particular one I am reviewing has NO WHITECAST. I mean it too. Just take the time to blend it. I myself am of color and continue to not have problems with blending this. Though this is a very moisturizing product that is greasy. So if you are of an oily nature, I would say just be aware that this is not matte by any means. I usually add a touch of powder on top but the shine is definitely not unbearable. I have quite dry skin and I am on prescription retinoids and and need all the moisture I can get. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this product. As you can see from the pictures, I bought this product when there was still the old packaging. I recommended this to a friend and they picked it up too but received the new packaging and it works just the same - it blends into facial hair (especially beards) nicely - For a product containing such a high amount of zinc, it’s usually hard to avoid a whitecast but somehow Cotz managed to do it and very well to say the least. Please give it a try if you are unsure on which Cotz product to purchase, have acne/sensitive skin or are on a budget. Good work Cotz. Will continue to repurchase. Side note: you need to reapply your sunscreens, regardless of the brand or type, at least every two hours if outdoors and at least every three to four (pushing it) if indoors. If you don’t reapply, you’re not doing your skin any favors! I reapply many times throughout the day and still have a decent amount of product left. It lasts awhile.

My skin is oily, and fungal acne prone. This worked wonderfully for me! No breakouts! I love the texture, the way it makes my skin feel. I am pale, so no white cast for me. Takes a little extra washing to get off at the end of the day tho.

Every other sunscreen irritates my sensitive skin or breaks me out except this one. Perfection.

This sunscreen works for my ultra sensitive skin. It is sort of whitish, but my face absorbs it after 5-10 minutes.

I'll start by saying that for brown skin,this definitely leaves the least minimal white cast for a non-tinted sunscreen. It blends in beautifully on the skin. My issues with the sunscreen are that the moment you do sweat that whiteness appears terribly as you can see in the picture. Along my forehead I started to sweat, I live in South Florida and the moment you step outside you get hit with terrible humidity. So for the summer this may not be the best sunscreen for those living in hot and humid climates. I would also say if you have oily skin stay away because this honestly just is very greasy. My skin postpartum has changed from oily to dry so I don't mind the look because it makes me look dewy. You will need to good oil cleanser or cleansing balm to remove this. You will not be able to remove this with just regular facial soap.
