Mimosa pudica, commonly known as the Sensitive Plant or Touch-Me-Not, is a fascinating and unique perennial herb that hails from Central and South America but has become naturalized in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. This plant is celebrated for its intriguing behavioral adaptation, as its compound leaves are highly sensitive to touch or mechanical stimulation. When touched, the leaflets of the Mimosa pudica fold inward and droop, a response thought to be a defense mechanism against herbivores. The leaves are pinnately compound, with a feathery appearance, and they usually have a pale green color. Mimosa pudica produces small, globe-shaped, pink or lavender flowers that emerge from fluffy, ball-like clusters. Beyond its captivating sensitivity, it has a reputation for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine, being used for its purported anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities. Additionally, it is often cultivated as an ornamental plant and is enjoyed as a novelty in gardens and educational settings due to its distinctive behavior.  Zones 9-11

Germination

Germinating Mimosa pudica seeds can be a rewarding and educational experience. Start by scarifying the seeds to help break their hard seed coat, enhancing germination. You can scarify them by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking them with a knife. Next, soak the scarified seeds in warm water for about 24 hours to further soften the seed coat. Prepare a seed tray or pots filled with a well-draining potting mix, which may contain a combination of peat moss, perlite, or vermiculite. Plant the treated seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil, spacing them apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as Mimosa pudica seeds are sensitive to excessive moisture. Place the seed tray or pots in a warm, well-lit location, such as a greenhouse or a sunny windowsill. Germination can be variable and may take several weeks to a few months. Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, you can transplant them into individual pots or your garden. Enjoy observing the fascinating leaf-folding response as your Mimosa pudica plants grow.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour. Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant. There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.

Sticky and white
Style: SPF 50
The sunscreen has a very sticky and thick texture. It will keep you from getting sunburnt, but it will also leave you with a white color.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50
Super good coverage and it lasts a long time in the sun and even through water activities. The only negative is the white cast. Not as bad as others but just be aware it doesn’t fully rub in.
