Ingredients
What makes Cove Suncare different from everything else on the shelf?
Cove was created for people who want sun protection that feels like part of their beach day, not something they have to force themselves to use. The formulas melt into your skin, don’t leave behind chalky residue, and stay gentle even on days when your skin feels moody. It’s sunscreen that behaves like skincare.
Are Cove products actually reef-safe?
Yes. Every formula is made without oxybenzone, octinoxate, and any other ingredients known to harm coral reefs. If you’re swimming, snorkeling, surfing, or just lounging by the water, your SPF won’t disturb the ocean life around you.
Can I use Cove on my face?
You can. Our formulas are made to be face-friendly—lightweight, blendable, and comfortable under makeup. If you prefer one sunscreen for everything, Cove works beautifully for both face and body.
Will it leave a white cast on deeper skin tones?
No. Our mineral formulas were designed to disappear into all skin tones, and they blend in fully without the grey, chalky finish most mineral SPFs are known for.
Is Cove safe for sensitive or breakout-prone skin?
Yes. The ingredient lists are intentionally minimal and avoid common irritants. People with sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin tend to love how calm and breathable the textures feel.
Is Cove Suncare vegan and cruelty-free?
Every product is vegan, and nothing is ever tested on animals.
Is your sunscreen water-resistant?
Yes, Cove is water-resistant. For the best protection, make sure to reapply every two hours and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.
Does Cove expire?
Yes—because sunscreen filters weaken over time. You’ll find an expiration date on each product. If you’re using it regularly, you’ll probably finish it long before that date.
Is Cove safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Most dermatologists consider mineral sunscreens a great option during pregnancy. If you have specific concerns, we always recommend checking with your doctor—they know your skin and your medical history best.
Can kids use Cove Suncare?
Absolutely. Our formulas are gentle and mineral-based, making them suitable for the whole family. For babies under six months, always check with a pediatrician first.
How often should I reapply?
Dermatologists recommend every two hours, and sooner after you swim, sweat, or dry off with a towel.
Does Cove work under makeup?
Yes. The texture is smooth and light, so foundation, blush, and highlighter sit beautifully on top without pilling or slipping.
Can I wear sunscreen even when I’m indoors?
Yes. UVA rays—responsible for premature aging—can pass through windows. If you’re near natural light or working by a window, you’re still getting exposure.
Do I need sunscreen on cloudy or rainy days?
You do. Up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds, which is why people often burn without realizing it. Daily protection is the key to long-term skin health.
How much sunscreen should I use?
For your face, think two finger-lengths of sunscreen. For your body, a full shot-glass amount is the rule many dermatologists follow.
How should I store my Cove sunscreen?
Keep it in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Heat can break down active ingredients, especially in mineral formulas.

Usage & Lifestyle Questions
Can I use Cove while working out or doing outdoor activities?
Yes. The formulas stay put through sweat and movement. Just remember to reapply frequently on high-activity days.
Is Cove good for everyday use, not just the beach?
Definitely. Cove was designed for daily wear—commutes, errands, office days, weekend plans, and everything in between.
Is mineral sunscreen better for my skin?
Mineral SPF is gentle, non-irritating, and great for sensitive skin. It works by sitting on the surface of the skin and reflecting UV rays, making it a top choice for people who react to traditional chemical filters.
What’s the best way to remove sunscreen at the end of the day?
A gentle cleanser usually does the job. If you’re wearing makeup or multiple layers of product, a double cleanse works well.
