Coola Refreshing Water Cream SPF50 Review
COOLA Refreshing Water Cream practically ticks all the boxes you need from a daily moisturiser. The organic formula is deeply hydrating, offers strong UVA and UVB sun protection and is packed with antioxidants that shield your skin from blue light and other environmental stressors as an added bonus.
The Most Important Thing About This Sunscreen Is…
This lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturiser combines sun filters to protect from damaging UVA and UVB rays with a high broad spectrum SPF 50. It’s formulated with plenty of nourishing ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and effective, plant-derived antioxidants that protect your skin from environmental aggressors beyond standard UV protection.
You Will Love This If…
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a lightweight, hydrating moisturiser with a powerful SPF.
The Formula:
The moisturiser features a refined formula that combines cutting-edge technology with nourishing, plant-derived ingredients. Four different sun filters are blended to provide ultra-strong broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. The BlueScreen Digital De-Stress Technology combines powerful antioxidants with plant-based actives that are proven to help inhibit blue light from digital devices (think smartphones!), infrared and pollution from damaging your skin. It’s also packed with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and coconut water, which work synergistically to hydrate and soothe your skin.
The Texture
The cream has a rich, velvety texture that is still incredibly lightweight. At first, I was worried that it’s too heavy for my combination skin. But it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy residue. It makes my skin feel refreshed and hydrated.
The Finish
The cream has a sheer finish. It doesn’t leave a shiny film or a white cast and is undetectable.
How Should You Apply It?
Cleanse your face and apply the cream 15 minutes before you go out in the sun. Smooth it evenly across your face and neck using upward motions.
How Often Do You Need To Reapply?
It is recommended to top up your sunscreen at least every 2 hours. If you go swimming, towel dry yourself or start sweating, you should reapply your sun protection immediately.

What’s Special About The Bottle?
The Water Cream comes in a sleek, blue and white jar. The standout feature is the push-down dispensing system. There’s no need to put your fingers in the cream; you can hygienically retrieve the product and it also means that you always get the right amount and don’t waste any.
Values?
I love COOLA’s approach to skincare and beauty products. The formula contains over 70% organic ingredients, is vegan, cruelty-free and Hawaii reef compliant, which means you can apply this sunscreen and go swimming in good conscience as it won’t harm marine life. And of course, in true COOLA fashion, the moisturiser is also free of any harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances.
