CoTZ Tinted Mineral Sunscreen & Facial Primer SPF 40 PA+++ — Sheer Matte 1.5 oz, Oil-Free & Reef-Friendly

CoTZ Face Prime & Protect is a lightweight tinted mineral sunscreen that doubles as a facial primer, offering broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection with a sheer matte finish.

Designed to sit comfortably under makeup or on its own, this 1.5 oz (42.5 g) formula blends a mineral UV filter with skincare-friendly ingredients to reduce shine and even skin tone. It’s free of chemical sunscreens, fragrances, dyes, oils, preservatives, gluten and phthalates, and is labeled reef-friendly for ocean-conscious users. The texture is described as silky and non-greasy, delivering a weightless, matte look while providing PA+++ level protection against UVA and UVB rays.

How does this product fit into my morning routine?

Apply after your moisturizer and before makeup for two functions at once: a primer to smooth skin and a mineral sunscreen to protect it. The tinted, sheer matte finish helps even out complexion and controls oil, shortening steps in a typical beauty routine.

• Use a pea-sized amount for the whole face and blend evenly.
• Layer over serum or moisturizer and let set briefly before foundation.
• Reapply per sun-exposure guidance when spending extended time outdoors.

What kind of protection does it provide, and is it gentle on skin?

This product provides broad-spectrum SPF 40 defense with PA+++ classification for higher UVA filtering. It relies on physical (mineral) sun filters rather than chemical sunscreens, and the formula is crafted to be gentle around the eyes and on sensitive skin types.

• Mineral-based UV filters suitable for sensitive skin.
• Broad-spectrum protection covering UVA and UVB rays.
• Free of fragrance, dyes, oils, preservatives, gluten, and phthalates.

Will the tint look natural and how does it affect makeup?

The tint is sheer and translucent to provide subtle evening of skin tone without heavy coverage. It’s formulated to create a matte, soft-focus surface that helps foundation adhere and stay in place, or to be worn alone for a minimalist look.

• Sheer tint that evens skin without masking natural undertones.
• Silky, soft texture that blends easily with fingers, brush, or sponge.
• Creates a matte canvas to reduce midday shine and support long-wear makeup.

How does this product perform in active or humid conditions?

The formula is water resistant and designed to handle light activity and humidity while maintaining a non-greasy feel. Although water resistant, standard sunscreen guidance recommends reapplication after swimming, sweating heavily, or towel-drying.

• Water-resistant finish for day-to-day activities and light exercise.
• Non-greasy, matte texture that minimizes shine in humid conditions.
• Gentle on eyes to reduce irritation during outdoor use.

Who is this for: CoTZ Face Prime & Protect is for anyone seeking a multitasking, mineral-based face product that combines sun protection with a primer-like finish. It’s particularly suited to people who prefer fragrance-free, oil-free formulas, those with sensitive skin, and users who want a reef-friendly sunscreen option that works well under makeup or as a lightweight standalone tint.
