[sun care] I found a Canadian Available Dupe for Cotz Prime and Protect: Tizo3's Primer/Sunscreen.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Last summer, I was able to purchase a bottle of Cotz Prime and Protect Suncreen while in the states and like many others, I fell in love with this mineral sunscreen for my sensitive acne prone skin. Since it is quite unavailable in Canada, I began searching for a dupe. Luckily, I stumbled across Tizo3 Primer/Sunscreen and in my opinion, it is a 98% dupe for the Cotz Prime and Protect.Ingredients of both (near identical list and order):COTZ: Titanium Dioxide 8%, Zinc Oxide 3.8% - Inactive Ingredients: Alumina, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Iron Oxide (CI77491), Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18-Hydrogen Dimethicone, Hydrogen Dimethicone, PEG-10 DimethiconeTizo: Titanium Dioxide 8%, Zinc Oxide 3.8% - Inactive Ingredients: Alumina, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Iron Oxide (CI77491), Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone, Hydrogen Dimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate.As well, here is a patch test of both products side by side. Cotz is on the left, Tizo is on the right. https://imgur.com/a/EKRBH9qDifferences I noticed (and why I prefer the Tizo Sunscreen):The formulation feels near identical, however Cotz is a tiny bit more moussey and creamier. This makes it easier to work in, but Cotz does take a couple minutes to dry down.The Cotz sunscreen has a tiny tone up effect. You cant really tell in my patch pictures, but when I put it on my face I do have a ever so slight white case. Not a true cast, but just a pinkening/whitening up effect.The Tizo does not have a tone up effect, in fact Tizo evens out my skin tone really well. While both sunscreens are "tinted", the brown color dissipates and it blends out to a very sheer coverage. It definitely evens out my entire tone. While cotz did this too, Tizo does this without making me look white.Cotz ended up drying out my skin a little it by the end of the day. Not too heavily, but I would get a little bit dry in the areas where im prone to dryness. I did not experience this with Tizo.Hope this is helpful for someone! Note that I bought Tizo from https://beautysense.ca/
