Product Summary

"Coola - Mineral BB Cream Sunscreen Matte Tint SPF30" does not provide enough UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage the skin, leading to early signs of aging and pigmentation issues.

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Organic evening primrose oil helps the skin retain moisture, resulting in a soft and smooth complexion.

Source: Escentual

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: isopropyl myristate, oenothera biennis oil.

Glycerin1% - 1.45%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Dimethicone crosspolymer2.6% - 4%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:MEDIUM

Used to create a thicker product texture. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might be able to prevent moisture loss from its surface

Polysilicone-114.5% - 6.7%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel

Cucumis sativus fruit extract0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

The formula is enhanced with organic rosehip oil, rich in vitamin C and essential fatty acids, which aids in cell regeneration and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Source: Escentual

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).

Butyrospermum parkii butter0.45% - 1.1%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Insufficient!

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Sun protection

This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.

This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.

Titanium dioxide2% - 3.1%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin

Iron oxides0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499. They might be able to offer some protection against visible light, but the degree of the protection is not clear
