I hadn’t realized how small your channel was till you said it:0 the quality is up there with the best and ppl are for sure sleeping on you
Thank you! I really appreciate it. My boyfriend and I put a lot of effort to make the quality be the best it can be. We’ll get the audience over time. I’m so thankful for the subs and followers I already have! They mean the world
Agreed!
People are for sure SLEEPING! We get great info and a bomb personality here 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I KNOOOOW!!! I refer and fwd your videos every chance i get. Keep up the good work💙
I always refer your sunscreen vids to my black and brown friends. You’re an important resource and we all appreciate❤️
Listen, I liiive for that wink when you do the side by side demos. LIIIIIIIIVE 😍😍😍😍
Hey Danielle! Curious as to how come you don't have your check mark after your handle?
I'm happily surprised that you liked this so much, I thought it was going to be too dewy for you! I keep blabbering on about this sunscreen because I want people with dark skin to know that they CAN use a high-zinc mineral sunscreen! And now the bar has been set for when brands give the excuse that high-zinc formulas can't be sheer.
SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Yaaay, I saw your Patreon the day you launched it and had no choice but to hop on. Thanks for doing these reviews!
Your sunscreen reviews are so good. Educational, detailed, thorough, inclusive... and easy to understand. Keep up the great work!
You make the best reviews ever! I cant believe you dont have 1mil + subscribers, but we will manifest this!
YESSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!! Love this channel so much, definitely going to donate!
Thank you so much! I’m beyond grateful for your kind words and for considering to donate ❤️
Thank you for the review and the time tags, I really appreciate your opinions!
Can't wait to try!
Like you, I haven’t really been blown away by most mineral sunscreen options, so I’m super excited to try it out!!!
I was legitimately SHOCKED! Even watching the footage back as I was editing, completely SHOOK. And then seeing the other creators I posted in the description box apply it completely sealed the deal
That intro Hennii living for it !
i can;t say this enough-- you are by far my most favourite person on youtube and i look forward to your uploads on the daily
You deserve more views 🙏🏼
I’ve been loving your content especially the mineral sunscreens and rigorous testing you have. For reference, I’ve worn Fenty 450 (matched wrong) but now I am 430, and this sunscreen has worked for me when applying the appropriate amount and re-applying.
Your content is super professional and helpful. I would almost think you had like a full team. I think I found you when I was looking for a particular shade of the revolution concealer on skin and stumbled on a video of yours. Then, RUclips finally did something right and kept recommending me your videos(and Raw Tin Skin). So glad to have found you!
Just joined your Patreon ❤️ This sunscreen sounds and looks great, I hope it becomes easily available in the UK.
I just watched your collab video with TSABD on her channel then came over to watch your version and then this sunscreen review. Thanks for mentioning the bismuth oxychloride, which isn't mentioned in the ingredients list on Ulta. That's saved me money and time as I always react badly to that ingredient. Also you have an excellent approach to giving reviews - very detailed and systematic. Best wishes for your channel, degree, and other endeavours.
this looks perfect, just like your skin. WOW. I will order non-tinted, I cannot wait to try it on😍
I’m a longgg time user of the cotz sensitive spf 40 mineral sunscreen which I LOVE. I am Indian with a deep skin tone so most mineral sunscreens leave a white cast, including the tinted sun bum one. And most chemical sunscreens leave me with breakouts or hyperpigmentation, including the korean ones I’ve tried so far. Only downside with this formula is it’s VERY emollient, but even though I have oilier skin this is worth it for me for the zero white cast, and my sensitive skin! I will say the flawless skin formula feels almost identical to me so it’s also worth it, but for whatever reason that one left me with breakouts so I’ll stick to the sensitive one!
JUST bought this today!!! HOLY GRAIL after only 1 day lol.
This is the sunscreen I wear currently. I'm half white and half native american. I have a medium neutral skintone. Combination skin. This feels matte but moisturizing but not over the top moisturizing. I honestly love this sunscreen. I'm waiting on a new one by Elta MD. It's a tinted sunscreen. But this Cotz is a damn good one for sure. Thanks Ramon darling.😊🥰🤗
HOLA AMIGO! Thanks for mentioning my video on this sunscreen
See now I want to try this spf! 🥲🥲🥲
BOOOOOOOOM, plug!
thats for the review! expecting it in the mail :)
AHHHH I SEE YOU PLAYING GEE IN THE BEGINNING 🤩🤩🤩
I saw the sunscreen when you poured it out and I was like there is no way it would work for me! Watched your review and I was like maybeee it could work for me.. But then I watched Danielle's video (we are VERY close in skin tone) and my jaw dropped! I will definitely get it once Im done with all the sunscreens i currently have lol.
Isn’t it crazy?! Seeing the versatility in how it applies on all the creators is insane. Even watching the footage back while i was editing left me in shock
Another great one, less greasy is by tizo which is actually owned by cotz
Omg it looks amazing. Praying for the brand to expand and ship to Europe and the UK someday😂😂
Same
let me purchase this now! I been looking all over sephora and ulta websites trying to decide, which one is for my skin. Im sold especially since Im brown skin with semi dry skin.
Hi Ramon! Can you please try the Cotz Prime + Protect Tinted Primer? I heard that it's dark skin friendly and has a matte finish that's good for oily skin. I'm wondering how well it works by itself (with the proper amount applied), how it compares to the Sun Bum tinted mineral spf, and if it'll be a good fit for my mega oily skin!
I always watch your “hello friends” intro like 5 times lmao
Question, do you apply sunscreen over your beard/mustache areas? I typically have a very short beard/mustache myself but I had problems applying tinted sunscreen on this area bc one it would kind of flake/clump I guess bc the texture of the beard? Two, with black facial hair applying a tinted sunscreen would lighten it looking all weird lol. Now I use a clear sunscreen bc I still want to cover my beard/mustache areas.
I literally love you so much! Lmao
I used this sunscreen and did not like the experience. I was looking for the Kinship sunscreen at Ulta but it was out of stock, so I got this one instead. It certainly looked great and blended well, but it felt really occlusive to the point that my skin felt suffocated under it, and my skin is on the dry side. I did manage to use it up, though. I like that it is a bigger tube than most face sunscreens and is readily available at Ulta, but I prefer the feel of the Kinship sunscreen.
I wish this was available in the UK. ✌🏾
I have not tried this SPF, I am currently using Elta MD tinted mineral sunscreen. have you tried Elta MD?
I enjoy using the Cotz sensitive spf 40 untinted. However, it is definitely not for oily skin people or to be used in the summer time. It is very very dewy.
Stay tuned 👀 I know that’s Raw Tin Skin’s favorite of the two I believe
I agree. Though I’ve gone through a few bottles of this and I’ve noticed something weird: the lower in the bottle you go (ie. the more you use it), the oiler the formula gets. No matter how hard I shake it. So weird.
@@SamMKKK sounds like separation
Desperate to try this but live in the uk. Any tips on where I could buy this? Thanks!
Hi Ramon! I really trust your thorough sunscreen reviews, so if you will see this-how does this product compare to the Sun Bum Tinted Mineral Sunscreen? Thanks
The sun bum I’ve already reviewed? This one is more glowy for sure and moire moisturizing, but has much less of a cast, if any! Sun Bum is more matte/primer-y
Gotta say, Cotz 50 was easily the best shade-match I've personally tried in the mineral sunscreen realm. But maaaaaaaan it set greasy on me. 😔 Glad it works for many people though!
My favorite so far too even though I have lighter skin- probably because of my rosacea. But so many sunscreens so little time...
I have dry dry skin! I've tried this before multiple times and I am a greaseball after!! And it never sets!!! I dont know how it doesnt look greasy on you considering you have oily skin. I wish this worked for me because it leaves no white cast...just makes me look sooooo oily
Did you apply it to bare skin too or you used it over moisturizer?
im indian skin, nc 40 in mac, medium tan skin tone, very dry skin. this is amazing & moisutrising, great under makeup
Hi Ramon! Is this nan-nano zinc though?
It look incredible, saddly impossible to get in France 😆
What are your thoughts on the heliocare brown tinted spf?
yes!
Do u know any non-nano zinc tinted sunscreens for dark skin? Non nano sunscreens provide the best protection. Ppl often buy sunscreens which are sheer/ light weight/ blends easily in skin however they get easily degrad under sun cuz the zinz particles are small. Hence I’m looking for a non- nano zinc sunscreen which is tinted :)
It is 💯 the best sunscreen. And my friends of tones from slightly lighter than me, me when I'm darker, and waaaayyyy darker it works for
Hey Ramon, do u prefer cotz mineral tinted spf 50 or Sun bum tinted mineral spf 30? PLZ HELP. Or, do u have different recommendation? I have a brown skin.
Hi! It really depends on skin type and how accessible it is to you. I think sun bum is better for oily skin, Cotz is more moisturizing. It’s just hard to get Cotz if you’re not in the US
Hi Ramón! I just submitted my comments for your Sephora competition...good luck , you deserve it!
I was wondering, how do you think this one compares to the Sun Bum tinted one that you love? If you had tried it before your favorite mineral sunscreen video do you think it would have made the cut? Xx
100% would’ve made the cut. This one is more sheer, but also more moisturizing and radiant. Sun bum is more matte, but can also leave a little more of a tint
@ great to know, thank you!!
Just bought this. I remembered using this several yrs ago and not liking it. But my skin is much different now. It gave me beading issues
If you haven't yet, try the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen in medium to tan. It's definitely brown-skinned friendly and great for oily skin!
Ive tried it and while the finish is perfect, the tint is horrible. I have a review on the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen, and I even went and got the BB cream version since it’s the same formula and I was told it had a different tint. It didn’t
@ I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
Ok I'm sold. Hope this reaches the EU soon 😭
Sameee
Have you tried the Cotz lip balm with spf? If so, does it leave a white cast on the lips?
No, no white cast. The Cotz lip balm is tinted as well which cancels out any white cast while not leaving any color. It’s my favorite lip SPF.
the ingredients are listed in alphabetical order, so even tho water is at the end it's not necessarily reflective of the amount btw!
Oh you’re right! Idk how I didn’t notice. Still curious how they got away with no preservatives! So interesting
this made me look like shiiiny, and i got dry-combo skin so i was used to looking matte 24/7. i learned the hard way it was staining my clothes due to the tint from iron oxide :( the packaging is real cute but i can't recommend this to anyone sadly
Did you try this in summer? How did it hold up? I'm really tempted to get this but I wonder how it holds up in hot sweaty weather.
If you sweat with that thing you will look like a mess
If you sweat with that thing you will look like a mess
Used for about a week and a half and destroyed my face. Completely clogged my pores and broke me out. Maybe too much Dimethicone in it???? Even after application, I go to wash my hands and the product is still present on my hands.
Is there an option for a one-time donation to your sunscreen fund? I very much enjoy your sunscreen reviews as a sunscreen fanatic myself. I would love to contribute but do not like the idea of recurring payments.
I use the un tinted version of this product and I find it to be greasy. I have very dry skin (as well a sensitive skin) so it takes a lot for me to say I think a product is greasy. I still use it though during the winter because my skin does get super dry and it doesn’t leave a white cast on my face. I can’t put makeup on with that sunscreen tho but I don’t have a problem using a different sunscreen on days I wear makeup because I don’t wear it everyday (I wear sunscreen everyday, not makeup tho).
I’m finding members of both oily and dry skin types can find the sunscreen to be greasy. I’m surprised I didn’t find it to be horrible. I just blot off excess shine after the sunscreen’s set down and I have no issues!
I have dry to normal skin and this sunscreen made me look like a greaseball. I couldn't even powder it down enough to make my skin glowy vs greasy. So shocked this worked for him!
Lol everyone keeps saying this 😭 idk how! Maybe the dryer UK winter?
@ I actually don’t necessarily find it to be horrible it’s just very thick and I don’t find it sets enough for me to be able to put makeup on. But it’s definitely a good sunscreen on days when I don’t wear makeup. And I also haven’t used the tinted version so it could be a different experience.
@ Thanks for making great videos tho about sunscreens and other skincare. I’ve found some great sunscreens like the cocokind sunscreen because of you and your review I decided to buy 2 (1 for me and 1 for my mom).
Better than SunBum Mineral Face Tint SPF 30?
Curious about this too!! I just got the sun bum Bc it seemed like it had more pros
I’ve tried it, I would say that it’s overall pretty nice! The only downside is that if you have more oily skin, it might be the tiniest bit too heavy. That was my experience at least!
I agree! I had to figure out how to make it work for my oily skin, but i did, and i really enjoy it!
Good to know! I'm really interested but I have THE OILIEST skin so I'm wondering how it'll work for me. Hopefully if I skip the moisturizer... I love sunscreens that keep me matte.
@@okashi10 I will say it will NOT keep you matte
@ Thank you! I will skip this one then. So far the sunscreens that keep me the most matte through the day are Purito Comfy Water (perfect on me, but the SPF?), Keep Cool (but the SPF, and the ethics?), Axis-Y (almost too dewy), and Make Prem Fluid (too drying). So I'm still on the hunt for the perfect one!
@@okashi10 well that would work, but the finish is very dewy. I also have more oily skin, so I would put mattifying powder over it if you want to try it!
Have you try the primer one
Stay tuned! 👀
Shipping from coolibar to my country is 25 dollars😩😩
Do you like this more than the sun bum tinted ?
I wouldn't say more, i'd say it's more situational. They're both good sunscreens. this one has a more moisturizing texture, sun bum's is more mattifying.
Every time I wear this sunscreen people commented that my face looks like I put a pan of grease on my face. Don’t waste your money it’s is VERY GREASY but no white cast.
is it non-nano?
Great question! This is the statement from their FAQ:
CōTZ sunscreens contain a proprietary blend of multiple-sized particles that form a protective physical barrier to reflect and refract UV radiation. In their raw state, some of these particles may be nano-sized, but before formulation the Titanium and Zinc Oxide particles are coated with inert ingredients, so they are “non-nano” as used in the products.
this sunscreen is so oily I’m normal skin but it’s super oily
I did use this Cotz flawless 50 but it’s so greasy Lots of silicones, breaks me up
I've had quite a few people mention that it was very greasy for them. Considering I have more oily skin, I'm surprise I didn't have a horribly negative experience around this, BUT it is winter here in the UK and that might be a reason why. I definitely wouldn't consider this for summer usage for my skin.
I just wear it by itself during the day. It will break you out if you have serum or moisturizer or anything below the COTZ
I’m so confused. You didn’t find this oily or greasy at all?! I have oily skin & when I tried this it was just oil sitting on top of my skin ugh. It never dried down and felt gross. There’s so many reviews online that say the same as well even dry skin ppl too lol. I’m blown away, you didn’t find it greasy at all but moisturizing rlly?? Lol I find it so gross. Maybe I should order it from somewhere else idk bc I get it at Ulta & it’s gross. Maybe I use too much lol.. you said you got it from ur friend in the uk right? Maybe the formulation is different there lmao idk
Did you moisturize underneath it?
@ No, so I have no idea why lol
Oh lol same. And I got OILY skin. I found it set down nicely and didn’t feel heavy or too occlusive. I was nicely glowy. IF it ever felt like too much, I would blot, but I rarely had to. Skin is very unique and so many factors go into people’s skincare experiences. Don’t you love how individual skin can be? Lol
I mean a lot of the reviewers on ulta found it a greasy mess too. Idk I really wanted to like it bc it doesn’t leave a white cast sigh..
@ haha yeah skin is so different it’s crazy but annoying lol, I rlly wish had the same experience as u 😂 nonetheless thanks for the review!
is this product frangrance-free?
Yes!
Anyone from Canada here? Can we buy this one in Canada?
I’m Canadian and I bought this using a package forwarding website. Only issue is that shipping cost more and is longer. It’s been over a month and it’s still not here (but that’s cause I chose the cheapest shipping option)
@@JasontheMason5 thank you for your reply. May I ask which website you used? I keep hearing about package forwarding websites but never tried any
@@bumblebee5051 Yea sure :)
I used the website Planet Express
Planet Express can ship anything in the US to worldwide, even if the store doesn’t ship to P.O. Boxes (which was a struggle for me)
They have 2 locations in the US (California and Oregon) if you ship it to Oregon there’s no sales tax, but the drawback is that it takes an extra week of shipping, and it’s only for paid members. (I believe it’s $50 a year) They also have a location in the UK
And if you have a paid membership, you can consolidate packages. So grouping multiple packages into one to lower the cost of shipping
I recommend paying for the membership only if you buy a lot online
Is this water resistant?
This one specifically from Cotz isn’t
Awesome 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Bae I'm ya ride or die forever... but this KOTZ ain't it. It makes my face greezy, shows every pore/pimple. Korean sunscreens for me.
