Reapplication is where most people’s sunscreen habits quietly fall apart. The initial morning application, fine. Sitting down to reapply halfway through the day, less so, particularly when you’re at the beach, your hands aren’t clean, and the last thing you want is to be wrestling with a tube of cream. A sunscreen stick exists to solve precisely this problem, and the Coola Classic Sunscreen Stick does it better than most.
What is it?
A SPF30 sunscreen stick designed for easy reapplication of sunscreen throughout the day.
What Do I Think?
It’s completely clear, leaves no white cast, no greasiness, and glides over skin with a smoothness that makes the whole business feel considerably less effortful than it has any right to. You swipe, you massage it in briefly, and you’re done.
SPF30 gives you solid broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection for everyday use, and the water-resistant formula means it holds its own through swimming and general holiday activity without immediately requiring another layer. The size is exactly right, compact enough to slip into a pocket on the days you haven’t got a bag, and unobtrusive enough to keep in a desk drawer, a gym kit, or a car for the moments you need it without having planned for it.
And then there’s the scent, which deserves a mention even if fragrance in SPF is, I appreciate, not universally welcomed. This smells of coconut in the way that makes you think immediately of somewhere warm and unhurried. It’s a small thing, and it has no bearing whatsoever on the product’s performance, but it makes reaching for it a genuinely pleasant experience rather than a dutiful one.
Would I recommend?
Definitely one I’ll be repurchasing as we head into summer and I’ll spend more time out and about. It’s pocket friendly and does the job.
