What is Cocoskyn?
Cocoskyn is an Australian owned SPF brand with a mission to empower you to create a daily suncare routine. We make sunscreen that looks good, feels good and is good to the planet.
Does Cocoskyn test on animals?
All our products and formulations are and always will be vegan and cruelty free.
What is the shelf life of Cocoskyn sunscreen?
3 years. You can find the expiry date at the top back of the tube.
Is Cocoskyn sunscreen scented?
Yes - coconut scented! Getting the right coconut scent was one of the most difficult parts of formulation. We tested at least 25 coconut scents! Don't worry we picked the most delicious, obviously.
Is Cocoskyn sunscreen tinted?
No - this one is untinted, so it's suitable for all skin shades and you don't need to worry about transferring tint onto your clothes. HINT: If you want tinted, add a pump of your colour match foundation to your sunscreen to make your own perfect shade of SPF.
What type of sunscreen is Cocoskyn?
Our coconut sunscreen has been developed for those who "hate how sunscreen feels." For this reason our coconut sunscreen is chemical based, as chemical sunscreens aren't as thick as mineral and soak into the skin to leave skin feeling dry.
What skin types does Cocoskyn suit?
Our sunscreen is non greasy so is suitable for all skin types, including oily. Our SPF is non tinted and doesn't leave a white cast, so is suitable for all skin shades.
Is Cocoskyn suitable for sensitive skin?
Chemical sunscreens are best suited for everyday wear and physical activity. Mineral sunscreens are best suited to everyday wear and sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is tricky because what is fine for one person won't be fine for the next. If you have sensitive skin and you're generally fine with chemical sunscreens we suggest starting with a small test patch incase irritation occurs. Check the ingredients on our ingredient list and avoid if there's a known irritant. If you usually have issues with chemical based sunscreens, then mineral sunscreen may be better suited.

Is Cocoskyn water resistant?
Our sunscreen is 2 hour water resistant. Make sure to reapply every 2 hours or more frequently if you are swimming or sweating.
How much Cocoskyn should I use?
There is no set rule on the exact amount of sunscreen, as each persons face and body is different sizes. As a guide, the general consensus at a minimum is 1/4 tsp for your face, and up to 1 tsp for your face, neck and ears. Body application according to the Cancer Council is 1 tsp per limb, 1 tsp body front and 1 tsp body back.
How long will I be getting sun protection?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It's a measure of how well the sunscreen protects the skin from sunburn (caused by UVB rays). The number tells you how long it will take UVB rays to redden the skin without sunscreen versus using sunscreen correctly. If using an SPF 30 it will theoretically take 30 times longer to start burning.
SPF 15 blocks 93% UVB rays
SPF 30 blocks 97% UVB rays
SPF 50 blocks 98% UVB rays.
Can you use Cocoskyn when pregnant/breastfeeding?
Although we have left the nasties out of our chemical based sunscreen, we would suggest a mineral base due to the extensive research. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the main ingredients in mineral sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens sit on the surface of your skin and don't absorb in. These natural minerals have been established as generally safe for use by all people.
Is Cocoskyn bringing out a range of sunscreens?
Yes! We recognise that there's no one size fits all with sunscreen and plan to bring out a range of SPF. We're constantly brainstorming ideas, so if there's an SPF product you'd like us to make or a sunscreen you wish existed - let us know!
Is Cocoskyn Reef Safe?
Cocoskyn does not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, which are known culprits for damaging reef. There's loads of chemicals and ingredients in sunscreens, makeup and skincare that haven't been as highly researched as oxybenzone and octinoxate, so the term 'reef safe' can be misleading. We are simply oxybenzone and octinoxate free.
