Would I recommend it?
A definite yes!

Cocokind Sunscreen Review
For a mineral sunscreen, I’m really impressed by how seamless and lightweight it feels on my skin. I find most sunscreens sit on top of my skin but it sinks in like a moisturizer. This has become a holy grail in my morning skincare routine. Here are more of my thoughts on this natural sunscreen:
- White Cast: When I first applied it, I saw a visible white cast but after I blended it in for 5 more seconds, there was no more white cast.
- Moisturizing: I have dry skin and most mineral sunscreens make my skin flakey. This sunscreen did not flake up my skin. It felt like a moisturizer.
- Tiny bit sticky: The sunscreen is a tiny bit sticky but it’s not an uncomfortable feeling. Sometimes, moisturizers have that same slightly sticky feeling.
- Fragrance-Free: It’s fragrance-free (which I love!) and it doesn’t smell bad at all.
- Dewy Finish: Has a slightly dewy finish. I don’t find it to be the dewiest sunscreen I’ve tried but does give you a glow.
- Not very water-resistant: It’s slightly water-resistant but don’t expect it to survive through lots of sweat or when swimming. The Kinfield Daily Dew is a much better water-resistant sunscreen.
The Cost
- Cocokind Daily SPF sunscreen costs $25 for a 1.7oz bottle.
- Other more affordable mineral-based sunscreens like Pipette and Badger come out to around $7-10 per 1.7oz.
Comparing the prices, Cocokind mineral sunscreen is definitely on the pricey side. Until I find a more inexpensive one that compares to the Cocokind texture, I will be happy paying the $25.
Sustainability
I like that Cocokind really prioritizes using sustainable materials in their packaging. The tube is made of 40% sugarcane-derived LPDE and 60% sugarcane-derived HDPE. It’s 100% recyclable.
The only part that’s not recyclable is the cap because of its small size.
The box is made out of FSC paper with soy ink and water-based coating. I think it’s the outside box is not necessary but I can see how it adds to the unboxing experience.
Is It Non-Toxic?
I’m very happy with the ingredient list in this Cocokind daily SPF sunscreen. Here’s a summary of the ingredients:
- Zinc Oxide: 21% zinc oxide. I like that it’s a high percentage of zinc oxide since it provides effective UV protection.
- Spirulina Maxima Extract: Antioxidant that protects skin from oxidative stress.
- Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Extract: Helps shield skin from dust.
- Rice Starch: Creates a dewy finish and nourishes the skin.
- Sunflower Seed Oil: Hydrates and evens out skin tone.
All the ingredients look clean and this Cocokind facial sunscreen is non-toxic. It’s also reef safe. I like that it’s broad spectrum and has higher than 30 SPF.
Jasmine’s Notes
A definite buy! The combination of the moisturizing texture, dewy finish, clean ingredients, and lightweight feeling makes this one of my favorite mineral-based sunscreens. Since it’s fragrance-free, it’s good for all skin types including sensitive skin too.
I’ll be honest – it is pricey so you’ll see my using this along with other clean sunscreens to balance out the cost.
Cocokind also has another sunscreen called Silk SPF which is a hybrid sunscreen. That means it’s half mineral-based and half chemical-based. I have yet to give that one a try!
That’s all for my Cocokind sunscreen review! If you tried it, what are your thoughts?
