The words “sunscreen” and “organic” are usually completely at odds with one another.  Kick it up a notch and throw in “glamour” and, well, you’re just totally out of luck.

But, wait!  Like a superhero to the beauty rescue…we have COOLA Suncare, valiantly dedicated to fighting rays, free-radicals, toxic ingredients, and that plasticky odor that is too-often masked by treacly scents.  (If I want to smell like a coconut, I’ll spill a pina colada on my lap, thanks!)

COOLA Suncare’s products are free of all the bad “P” words you’ll often find in beauty: parabens, phthalates, petroleum and PABA.  With broad-spectrum, UVA/UVB protection, you’re covered against both types of damaging rays.  And for the Divas out there, all products are available in both unscented and scented varieties…and trust me, the fragrances are actually good.

Mosey on over to their sale on The Fairest and check out these bestsellers for yourself:

COOLA Face SPF 30 Cucumber: Crammed with antioxidants A, C, E and zinc, plus botanicals like comfrey extract, orange extract, evening primrose and rose hips.  Oily-skinned gals rejoice: it won’t clog pores, so no sunscreen-induced breakouts!   Plus, it dries instantly–which means it’s killer under makeup–and smells sweet, light and fresh.

COOLA Sport SPF 45 Mango: Endorsed by the American Lifeguard Association (does this make anybody else think of David Chokachi in those red trunks?  Anybody?), and featuring botanicals like ginseng, evening primrose and arnica.  It’s sweat-resistant, which means it won’t break down as quickly as traditional sunscreens.  (But, still, don’t forget to reapply every two hours!)

COOLA Lipluxe SPF 15 Vanilla Peppermint: Beauty editors can’t get enough of this broad-spectrum UV lip balm, which features food-grade certified organic ingredients, like coconut oil and jojoba oil, and a blend of organic raspberry and avocado fruit butters.  The vanilla peppermint flavor, meanwhile, is delish.

COOLA Totalbody SPF 30 Plumeria:  Use it on the face, the body, the kids–wherever.  It’s got plankton–the very sound of which makes me crave sushi–as a natural sunblock booster, and features a Camellia Sinesis Liposome Complex (that’s green tea for those not versed in beauty-speak!) that’s full of antioxidants, sweat-resistant, and safe for even the most sensitive skin.  Other goodies?  Anti-inflammatory arnica, shea butter, aloe vera, and chamomile.  And the plumeria scent…it’s divine.

COOLA Suncare goes on sale Tuesday, September 1st on The Fairest.
