Most Helpful Positive Review Great for healthy looking skin! I absolutely love waking up and washing my face and putting this new coola lotion on my face and neck area before I go out to the beach and pool. My 7 year old even loves this brand! It has helped us to not burn in my Florida sun shine. My face is ultra smooth after using this! I highly recommend trying it you won't be disappointed . I recieved as a gift from coola , nothing has altered my thought of this product or any of coola products.
Most Helpful Critical Review Great concept, but too difficult to use The Sun Silk Organic Mineral Moisturizer Face Sunscreen was recommended to me by my esthetician. I am very fair-skinned and burn easily. I also have rosacea and have extremely sensitive skin. I can't wear chemical sunscreens at all due to my allergies and sensitive skin, so I knew I needed a physical sunscreen. After trying many brands that were too thick or too greasy, this one was a pleasant surprise. While the description says "ultra-rich cream," this felt more like a light moisturizer to me. There is virtually no scent, which is a huge plus since I also have scent sensitivities. Unfortunately, this one is going to have to go back. When I try to apply it to my face, it just pills up and leaves a million little white balls on my face. So, I tried working it between my hands a little first and I verrrrrrry slowly patted it in - the pilling was less but still very much present. It also left a minimal, but unflattering, white cast on my face and I don't like that for my daily look. My eyes started burning within moments and I had to wash it off. Didn't get to try it under makeup, but I really couldn't even wear this one to the beach. At this price point, I was really hoping for "WOW" but didn't find it :(

It leaves whites specs over my face instead of fully absorbing in. I won't use it if I'm going out in public because it makes my skin look very flaky.
I have dry skin and 2
Leisa H. from undisclosed
I have dry skin and I work hard to keep it moisturized and soft. Unfortunately this sunscreen dries out my skin and leaves my cheeks cracked and flaking. I do use a moisturizer under it but it makes no difference.
I do not recommend this for people with dry skin.
Pilling, pilling, pilling 2
Kelly from undisclosed
Wanted to like this so badly as it ticked all my boxes, mineral sunscreen, clean formula and blue light protection. But what a disappointment. This pills so badly and I've tried so many different ways to apply it but nope. Either it pills during application or it pills once everything is dried down. And to the responses I've read as to the reason for the pilling, it's not the user, it's the product. Also in the Q&A I saw Coola's response to the pilling: "apply product sparingly" then what is the point of using an SPF? Won't be buying again.
Clumpy 3
Natasha from undisclosed
Unfortunately this doesn't blend well and seem to leave white clumps on my skin.
Love this sunscreen! I use 5
Rosinna B. from undisclosed
Love this sunscreen! I use it every day as a part of my skincare routine. The quality ingredients smell good and feel great on my skin. Nice finish also.
Doesn't absorb 1
Karen from undisclosed
I really wanted to like this sunscreen, but it doesn't absorb well into my skin and leaves little white pills on my face. I've tried applying it right after my vitamin C serum, and then waiting a while before applying, and the same thing happens. And it's not inexpensive….
Made my dry skin worse 1
BodieL from Houston
This did not soak into my skin at all. I have very dry skin and if felt like I was rubbing a scrub on the surface of my face. I returned :/ not for me
Does not absorb, pills, and way too thick 2
Brooke from Florida
When I think moisturizer, I think lightweight, easily absorbable, and blendable. This functions as more of a thick zinc oxide sunscreen coating that will pill and pill as you try to rub it in. At first I thought I had put too much on my face, but when I put even just a drop, it's the same thing. I don't recommend this product.
Love it 5
Jenna C. from undisclosed
Love it! Super moisturizing, light silky finish and does a great job protecting from sun. I burn easily and have not since using it .
Love Sun Silk 5
Marilyn G. from undisclosed
I love how it blends into my skin completely. Not overly shiny and the smell is delicious!
Enjoy using 5
April H. from undisclosed
The product is not too heavy, doesn't leave my face feeling oily. I like the container and how it dispenses the moisturizer.
Leaves white "pills" on face 1
Amcb808 from San diego, ca
I love the packaging, however the actual product is terrible. It pills and leaves tiny toilet paper looking residue on your face!!! Using up when around the house just so i don't throw it in the trash
Do not waste your money
Love this line 5
Poppyk from Seattle WA
I love this sunscreen and also the mineral Sun Silk Creme from this line. This one could be used as an AM moisturizer on it's own depending on your skin type. I think along with a hydrating serum it's great in the summer time but in the winter I'll need other moisturizer underneath. My skin feels so soft with this on. All physical sunscreens leave a bit of a white cast. I am pale so this isn't a big deal for me. But if you have dark skin you probably wouldn't want wear this without makeup, at least a little powder. I have yet to find a zinc sunscreen that isn't tinted that doesn't leave a cast, so I think this is just normal for this type of a sunscreen. I haven't noticed any pilling like some reviews say. I wonder if they are maybe trying to rub too much on in one go and it's drying before it's rubbed in. I usually pat on one pump at a time and build on it. Basically apply it like you would foundation.
Bad packaging, good cream. 3
Jessinia R. from undisclosed
This review has to do with the packaging. I thought I ran out of this product quickly but when I opened up the top (which I had to do with a knife) there was still half a jar of product left. The push top couldn't reach the rest. I'd rather just have a jar of this. The top also had dried product on it unless you cleaned it off each use. I really like the way the face cream feels and works.
do not buy 1
marin from california
i was super excited to try this because i love the coola brand, but this moisturizer was super disappointing. as others mentioned, it leaves a bunch of tiny white specs and is not moisturizing at all. at this point i'm only using it because it was expensive and i was not able to return.
Great concept, but too difficult to use 2

Thick but not good for winter 2
lgrigg2011 from undisclosed
I was very excited to try this "moisturizer" but it is VERY thick and leaves a white cast on my face no matter how much I try to rub it in. I thought it might be good to use in the winter because of how thick it is, but it brings out all of the flakey skin that I didn't know I had. Highly do not recommend this product unless Coola finds a way to make this not as thick & actually moisturizing.
Would buy again if I am not on a budget 3
Lulu from Manassas
Used after my Mandalic acid and apply. Will need to rub into skin evenly because it could leave residue
Worst sunscreen I've ever used 1
CherawGirl from Myrtle Beach, SC
I tried using on the face but it pilled so bad I just use it on my neck to try and use it up. Today I used it before golf on my neck and my neck got sun burned. I finally threw it in the trash can. Do not buy this.
Love the product 4
Lola from undisclosed
FULL SPECTRUM 360° MINERAL SUN SILK MOISTURIZER ORGANIC FACE SUNSCREEN SPF 30 is great to throw on when you need a little hydration. I love the jar
Amazing sunscreen and moisturizer 5
May from undisclosed
I am absolutely loving this sunscreen/moisturizer. I love that it also works as a primer so I am able to wear it under my makeup and benefit from the SPF 30. This product was gifted to me and I was so excited to try it. I am truly obsessed with it and will be part of my daily routine from now on.
Lovely 5
Elymy from undisclosed
Bought this one for my cousins as a birthday present in combination with the sunscreen and she loves them!!
DAY THREE AND SO FAR LOVING IT 5
Mariah M. from undisclosed
I'm only on day three, I usually like to try a product for at least 2 weeks to see how my skin reacts. But as an initial review I really like it! The formal feels quality, it doesn't leave a white cast (just make sure you blend it in nicely), a little goes a long way, I love the way it dispense - such a cool packaging. I've tried a few items from their line and so far everything seems quality and I've been really happy with it - and I can be finicky about skincare so that says a lot! I see a lot of reviews saying it's super light weight, I felt like it was medium (not light but not heavy) which I personally like in a day time moisturizer. I think it's great that it has SPF because 1. it saves me a step and 2. my skin doesn't have to handle another layer of product 3. its less to pack when I'm traveling.
Love this full spectrum moisturizer! 5
Arianna F. from undisclosed
Fantastic skincare product. Don't let the look deceive you- It feels so light weight and leaves no white residue from the zinc. I bought this as a face sunscreen during the summer days, but now use it as a daily moisturizer. It doesn't make me break out and it leaves my skin feeling super soft. Whether I am outside or sitting in front of a computer, I know my face is protected from uv rays, blue light, and even pollution!
Love this 5
Heidi from undisclosed
This is absolutely amazing! Highly recommended for all skin types #gifted
