A facial SPF has to blend quickly or nobody reapplies it. This one goes on noticeably lighter than the thick body zincs it was tested beside.

It is marketed for daily use, so we pushed it outdoors into open sun and water glare to see whether it holds up past the bathroom mirror.

Zinc oxide is the sole active, and the small print notes the tube itself is made from sugarcane material. Packaging claims like that are easy to miss on the shelf.

Cocokind sells this as protection from UVA, UVB and blue light, which puts it closer to daily skincare than to a beach sunscreen. At 1.7 ounces it is a face-only proposition.

Where to buy

Although not water resistant, this is an environmentally forward mineral based sunscreen for daily use. This meets reef-safe standards by not containing the nasty chemicals or nano particles in other sunscreens.

You can have faith that this product will provide broad spectrum protection while locking in moisture. It works splendidly for every day use in a casual “walk around town” way; especially due to microalga phaeodactylum tricornutum extract protecting the skin from pollution. But, you will want to look at something waterproof and more heavy duty if you want to swim all day.

The texture is a medium thickness that spreads equally with undemanding energy. The smell is at first a tad bit off-putting, but in seconds it fades away. Apply Cocokind’s Daily SPF after your morning skin care routine, and then continue to reapply every two hours for guaranteed protection.

This is one of our most expensive ounce per dollar sunscreens recommended. However, due to the specific facial application, it lasts for a few months even if you use it all of the time. We recommend this product to people wanting to put something healthy and eco-friendly on their face for every day protection.
