Is this sunscreen reef safe?

It's advertised as reef safe but that doesn't mean anything. The best thing to do (with any product) is to look at the ingredients list and then research those ingredients if they are reef safe. This product contains ingredients that are not pronounced as reef safe. Honestly, only sunscreens that only have zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide are reef safe. However, there are no federal guidelines to say what is/isn't reef safe, meaning consumers cannot rely only on what the manufacturers claim. This Coola sunscreen isn't the worst, but scientifically speaking per its ingredients - it is not reef safe.

Does this make your hair greasy?

Yes. I have thick, finely textured hair that is mostly long, but undercut (buzzed) on the back and sides. It works well overall and looks okay on the short part, but definitely looks greasy at the roots on the rest of my hair. For beach/pool use this is fine, but I'd hesitate to use it if I were trying to style my hair to look good. My daughter has a pixie cut with similar hair texture and it's okay. If your hair withstands styling oils, it might not appear as greasy. It smells decent and my freshly shaved sides didn't burn so I think it worked.

How can they claim organic when this has chemical sunscreen Avobenzone??

COOLA formulas contain at least 70%+ organic ingredients, as the sunscreen actives can never be organic!
