CoTZ Face Prime & Protect Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 — Non‑Tinted 1.5 oz, Matte Primer for Sensitive Skin

CoTZ Face Prime & Protect is a sheer, non‑tinted mineral sunscreen that doubles as a weightless matte facial primer with broad‑spectrum SPF 40 protection.

This compact 1.5 oz formula blends zinc oxide‑based filters to provide broad UVA/UVB defense while creating a smooth, soft base for makeup. It’s free from chemical sunscreens, fragrances, oils, dyes, preservatives, gluten, and phthalates, so it’s suited to sensitive skin and daily use. The finish is matte and subtle, making it a good match for lighter skin tones without leaving a white cast when applied correctly.

How does this product protect my skin during everyday sun exposure?

CoTZ Face Prime & Protect uses mineral actives that sit on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UV rays, offering broad‑spectrum coverage at SPF 40. The formula is photostable and water‑and‑sweat resistant, so protection remains during normal outdoor activities. Because it avoids chemical filters, it minimizes potential irritation for sensitive skin types.

• Broad‑spectrum SPF 40 for UVA and UVB defense
• Mineral (physical) filters that do not break down in sunlight
• Water and sweat resistance for lasting wear

Will it work under makeup and help reduce shine?

Yes — this product is formulated as a primer that creates a velvety, matte surface to help makeup adhere and last longer. Its lightweight texture smooths fine lines and minimizes the look of pores without adding oil. You can apply it alone for a natural finish or let foundation sit directly on top for improved longevity.

• Weightless, matte finish that reduces shine
• Smooths skin texture for easier makeup application
• Non‑tinted; intended to pair with foundation or wear alone

Is this safe for sensitive skin and reef environments?

The formula avoids common irritants: no fragrances, dyes, oils, parabens, preservatives, or chemical UV absorbers, which lowers the likelihood of stinging or inflammation. Ingredients are selected to be gentle for most skin types, though patch testing is recommended for anyone extremely reactive. The product is also marketed as reef‑friendly by excluding certain chemical sunscreen agents commonly restricted in marine environments.

• Free of fragrances, oils, preservatives, gluten, and phthalates
• Mineral actives generally tolerated by sensitive skin
• Formulated without common reef‑harmful chemical UV filters

How should I use it in my daily routine?

Apply a nickel‑to‑pearl sized amount to clean, moisturized skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Allow it to set briefly, then follow with foundation if desired. Reapply every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying for continued SPF effectiveness.

• Use on clean, moisturized face and neck before makeup
• Pat or smooth evenly; wait a moment before layering cosmetics
• Reapply per standard sunscreen guidelines for ongoing protection
