Coola Scalp and Hair Mist SPF30

Frequently Asked Questions

When you say your products are organic, what does that mean?

COOLA abides by the California Organic Products Act (COPA) standards—the strictest standards in the nation for organic personal care—requiring that at least 70% of every formula consists of certified organic ingredients. This commitment to being Always Organic still allows room for other sustainably made, lab-derived ingredients at clinically effective levels while adhering to our clean no-lists and organic guidelines.

How much do I use?

Studies show that most people only apply 25-50% of the recommended amount of sunscreen. We want to make sure your skin is well-protected—when applying this product use 1/3 of a teaspoon.

How is this scented?

Our fragrances are naturally derived, with all constituents extracted from plant sources. We do not use any synthetic fragrances in any of our products. Unlike common industry practice, we are one of the few companies that choose to disclose the ingredients and constituents in all of our fragrances, so you can rest assured that you know what is in our formulas. You may find the constituent listing on the ingredient list above.

Does this have allergens?

Every COOLA formula is tested for HRIPT (Human Repeated Insult Patch Testing). A repeat insult patch test can help determine any potential irritation or sensitization issues, minimizing the potential reactions for the consumer. This is a tool for safety evaluation. In addition, all our products are Soy-Free and Nut-Free.

How often should I reapply my sunscreen?

Sunscreen should be applied at least after every 2 hours of sun exposure if you're staying dry. If you're swimming, or even sweating, you should apply again after the water-resistant time, which is 40 minutes to 80 minutes, depending on the product. Finally, don't forget to reapply after towel drying to ensure thorough sun protection!

How does this product protect my hair and scalp from sun exposure?

Our sunscreen for scalp and hair contains a combination of ingredients like Monoi Oil, Cica, and our other quality SPF actives that nourish the scalp and hair and provide essential sun care benefits. The combination of benefits, including helping to improve scalp microcirculation and enhanced natural UV protection, make it an excellent choice for those seeking effective protection against sun damage.

Is it safe for color treated hair?

We’ve done our best to formulate our Scalp & Hair Mist Organic Sunscreen SPF 30 with color-protecting ingredients as well as ingredients that defend from the damaging effects of UV. However, recently bleached hair can react with sunscreen actives, which can cause discoloration. For specific concerns, we recommend consulting your hairstylist before use.
