Not all sunscreens are created equal, and when it comes to protecting both your skin and the planet, CoTZ mineral sunscreen stands out. We believe protecting your skin shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. That’s why our reef-friendly, cruelty-free mineral sunscreens are made with environmentally-conscious ingredients that work beautifully. This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the difference that thoughtful mineral SPF can make—not just for your skin, but for the seas, the reefs, and the creatures we share this planet with.
What Makes CoTZ Different?
While traditional chemical sunscreens use active ingredients that absorb UV rays, CoTZ uses 100% mineral-based UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These natural minerals sit on top of your skin, reflecting harmful rays away like tiny mirrors—no harsh chemicals and no environmental guilt.
But we don’t stop at ingredients. At CoTZ, our formulas are carefully crafted with the planet in mind:
-
No oxybenzone
-
No octinoxate
Ever.
We are also free from:
-
fragrances
-
dyes
-
parabens
-
phthalates
Reef-Friendly and Why It Matters
If you’ve ever snorkeled above a coral reef or swam in clear blue waves, you’ve experienced just how magical our oceans can be. But did you know that certain sunscreen ingredients can actually damage those fragile underwater ecosystems?
Chemical UV filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate—found in many traditional sunscreens—have been shown to contribute to coral bleaching, disrupt marine life, and pollute our oceans. That’s why several places, including Hawaii and parts of the Caribbean, have banned sunscreens with these ingredients altogether.
CoTZ is proud to be part of the solution. Our sunscreens are made without those reef-harming chemicals, so you can wear your SPF confidently knowing it's reef-friendly. We offer effective mineral-only formulas with most of our sunscreens being up to 80 minutes of water resistance, while still being gentle enough to keep coral reefs, sea turtles, and tropical fish safe.
Because protecting your skin from the sun shouldn’t mean harming the ocean.
CoTZ’s Commitment to Kindness
Let’s be real—no one wants great skin at the expense of animals. CoTZ keeps things super simple: our sunscreens are 100% cruelty-free. That means no animal testing, and we’re proud of it!
We believe in kindness across the board, so you get effective SPF without any shady stuff behind the scenes. There is no testing on bunnies, no weird lab experiments, just skin-loving ingredients that work hard and feel good.
And here’s a bonus: our sunscreens are also vegan, so if you’re trying to keep your routine plant-based, we’ve got you covered.
Bottom line? When you wear CoTZ, you’re not just protecting your skin—you’re making a kind, conscious choice that actually makes a difference.
