Summer is calling, and if your out-of-office message is already drafted, you're in good company. Whether you're hopping on a plane, packing the car for a beach road trip, or just taking a much-needed staycation, one thing should never be left behind: your sunscreen. Specifically, your CoTZ mineral sunscreen!
This time of year is all about winding down, soaking up the season, and treating yourself to some well-deserved sun and saltwater therapy. But while you’re living your best vacation life, your skin still needs consistent protection. That’s where CoTZ comes in.
Not only is our mineral sunscreen travel-friendly, but it's also made with skin-soothing ingredients, dermatologist-recommended formulas, and zero chemical filters. If you’ve ever dealt with breakouts, irritation, or that dreaded greasy SPF feeling, you’ll be relieved to know we left all of that behind.
Mineral Sunscreen: The First Thing That Should Go in Your Bag
Sun protection should be the first thing on your packing list, and our mineral sunscreen is the gold standard. It works like tiny mirrors, reflecting harmful UVA and UVB rays away from your skin. At CoTZ, our entire line is made without chemical sunscreens or irritating ingredients, making it ideal for travel, outdoor adventures, and even post-flight skin that’s a little more sensitive than usual.
Here are our favorite CoTZ picks to pack:
-
CoTZ Flawless Complexion SPF 50 – A lightly or richly tinted mineral sunscreen option that provides high-protection. Perfect for beach days, hikes, or running in the park.
-
CoTZ Face Prime & Protect Tinted SPF 40 – A velvety, matte-finish formula that doubles as a makeup primer. Ideal for city exploring or date-night dinners in a new destination!
-
CoTZ Mineral Sun Stick SPF 45 – Our go-to for anyone that’s on-the-go! Perfect for reapplication of face, neck and shoulders. This small but mighty mineral stick makes for a great travel companion.
Why CoTZ Is Your Summer Skin MVP
Let’s be real: not all sunscreens are travel-friendly. Some spill, others separate in the heat, and many clog your pores by day two of vacation. CoTZ was made for people who care about their skin, care about what goes in their products, and still want sunscreen that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle.
Here’s why our mineral sunscreens should be part of every getaway:
-
Safe for all skin types – From dry to acne-prone, sensitive to mature.
-
No chemical filters – Just pure, effective mineral protection.
-
Reef-friendly – So you can swim, snorkel, and explore with peace of mind.
-
Matte and lightweight textures – So your skin feels protected, never greasy.
The Ultimate Summer Vacation Packing List (Besides Sunscreen)
Of course, there’s more to vacation than what goes on your skin. Here’s our go-to list of summer travel essentials, because overpacking is part of the experience, but you’ll want to make room for the good stuff.
1. Reusable Water Bottle
Hydration is key, especially if you’re hiking, flying, or spending hours in the sun. A cute, insulated water bottle keeps your water cold and cuts down on single-use plastics.
2. A Sun Hat & Sunglasses
Consider this your style-meets-safety PSA. A wide-brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses not only pull together your vacation fit, they protect your face and eyes from UV damage, too!
3. Lightweight Layers
Even the sunniest spots can get chilly at night. Pack a breathable hoodie, wrap, or linen button-down that layers easily over swimsuits or tank tops.
4. Travel-Sized Toiletries
Pro tip: CoTZ Flawless Complexion, Face Prime & Protect, and the Mineral Sun Stick are all TSA-approved sizes, reef-friendly, and lightweight enough to reapply without a mirror.
5. A Good Book or Playlist
Because the real joy of being out of office is actually disconnecting. Whether you’re an e-reader kind of person or always curating a summer playlist, don’t forget something to make downtime even better.
Go Ahead, Set That Out-of-Office Reply
This summer, take the trip. Book the flight. Put your phone on airplane mode. You’ve earned it. Just don’t forget to pack smart, hydrate often, and reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours, especially after swimming or sweating!
With CoTZ in your carry-on, you can spend less time worrying about your skin and more time enjoying the moment. Whether hiking volcanoes, lounging poolside, or navigating a new city, we've got your skin covered, literally!
