Why Mineral is Better

Chemical Sunscreens (sometimes called "classic" or "organic" sunscreens) work by ABSORBING UVA-UVB energy on/in the skin and converting it to heat. Mineral Sunscreen (Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide): Work by REFLECTING harmful UVA-UVB rays away from your skin - like millions of tiny mirrors.

Our Story

CōTZ was founded in 2002 by a plastic surgeon whose singular mission was to create healthier mineral sunscreens that people want to wear daily The result was an all-mineral sunscreen collection that feels elegant while keeping your skin safe from harmful UVA-UVB rays.

Beautiful. Healthy. All Mineral

CōTZ contains no chemical sunscreens, which can be irritating, penetrate your skin, and absorb UV energy. Mineral sunscreens are inherently gentle, and work by reflecting away harmful rays. So you never have to worry about harmful rays heating and absorbing into your skin.

What Makes CōTZ Unique?

CōTZ stands for Contains Only Titanium and Zinc. All of our products use only the mineral sunscreen active ingredients Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide in sheer, elegant formulas. We never use chemical sunscreen filters in our products.

What Makes your mineral sunscreen different from other mineral sunscreens?

CōTZ mineral sunscreens are known for their uncommonly light, silky feel and virtually invisible appearance on skin. That’s because we use only the highest quality active and inactive ingredients, delivering excellent protection in formulas.

What gives CōTZ tinted products their color? Do they contain dyes? Will the non-tinted products make my skin white?

All CōTZ products do not contain dyes or fragrances. The tint in our tinted products comes from Iron Oxide, a natural mineral ingredient. Our non-tinted products leave a soft finish, but no pale white cast.

Do your products contain Benzene?

CōTZ recently had all of our sunscreen products tested by an independent lab. Those test results are now available and we are pleased to report that NO benzene was detected. You can continue to use CōTZ with confidence.

Are CōTZ products safe to use with tattoos?

Sun protection is important to protect your tattoo from fading. CōTZ sunscreens are perfect for tattoos because they reflect the UV light away and don’t absorb it into the ink. Wait until your tattoo has healed before applying sunscreen.

Fantastic sunscreen for oily faces
5 Stars
Fantastic sunscreen for oily faces
I use a tretinoin (e.g. Retin-A) on a daily basis so I am very serious about my sun protection. I currently have 6 different sunscreens (both chemical and mineral based) opened because I'm always on the hunt for the best. For me, the sunscreen must1. protect (duh)2. not leave a ghostly white cast on my skin (I'm a medium toned Asian)3. not ball up/pill when applied over other skin products or create a poor base for make up applicationI was content with another brand sold at most dermatology offices but it left my face shiny. It wasn't a big deal initially because I would put make up on top of my sunscreen and the powder would matte down the shine. But since shelter-in-place, I was looking for something I could wear without make up and not look like a greasy mess.I purchased Cotz and another expensive brand (mostly seen at high-end cosmetic dermatology offices) that cost 2 times more than Cotz; both had similar descriptions (matte, tinted, titanium dioxide base). I applied Cotz on the left side of my face and the other brand on the right side of my face and couldn't tell the difference other than it was a little easier to spread the Cotz.Cotz will now be my go-to sunscreen. It met all of my aforementioned requirements and after reading articles on chemical sunscreens, I want to transition to using only mineral based for my face because I have sensitive skin. The downside of using mineral based sunscreen is after touching your face, you feel a chalky residue on your fingers but you get used to it.Update: I replenished my Cotz sunscreen and noticed that not only was the cap different (flip vs. screw) but the formula was subtly darker. This is great for me because the darker, new formula matches my skin tone even better. In the picture, the left side is the new product and the right side is an older version.Tip: if you use a lot of skincare products before you apply sunscreen (toner, serums, lotion, etc.), the trick to making sure your sunscreen doesn't ball up is waiting about 30 minutes before applying the sunscreen. This allows enough time for the skincare products to absorb in your skin.
