Badger Biodegradable Reef Safe Sunscreen, SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen, 98% Organic Ingredients, Unscented, Water Resistant Adventure Sport Sun Cream, Travel Size 2.4 oz Tin

I am allergic to sunscreens, apparently - annoying. This one has only a few ingredients, nothing weird and chemically, no need to cross-reference every incomprehensible word to see what it is and how it might mess up my face. Because zinc sits on top of the skin, it isn’t an irritant, but effectively reflects the sun - great. I tried Badger a long time ago when my kids were tiny and to be honest I didn’t like it enough to repurchase. I found it chalky and hard to spread. But someone recommended I try it again and I did, mainly because I couldn't find anything else like it (most of the zinc formulas have a bunch of other weird stuff in them). Badger must have improved the formula in the years since because it’s great now. It leaves no cast (granted, I am fair-skinned) and it feels wonderful. It’s slick in a nice way and feels *almost* greasy but it doesn’t leave any shine and actually works really well as a primer under foundation. I love it so much. It’s one of those products where I feel motivated to write a review so that enough people buy it that it doesn’t get discontinued (ie this review is self-serving). So get yourself some Badger spf, please ;)

I am always buying new sunscreens and trying to try to solve for getting myself to actually use it every day. I've really liked products from Elta MD, Babyganics, and, of course, Badger.My hot take: This is my go-to daily sunscreen. It meets 4.5/5 of my criteria.TL;DRMy priorities with a sunscreen, in order of importance, are:1. Adequate protection - at least SPF 30. I prefer SPF 50 though.2. Mineral ingredients - zinc or titanium oxide.3. Texture of the sunscreen - I'm fine with a little white cast, but I don't like chalkiness.4. Convenience of application - so I'll actually use it.5. Sustainability - I try to use less plastic and aerosol cans stress me out (inhalation, hard to recycle).Badger Sport Mineral Sunscreen Tin - SPF 40 / Badger Adventure Sport Mineral Sunscreen Tin - SPF 50- Mineral ingredients: uncoated zinc oxide 25%- All natural ingredients and very safe for our Earth's waters. It's just the uncoated zinc oxide (active) and sunflower oil, beeswax, and sunflower vitamin E (inactives). No ingredient names I have to google. And 98% of ingredients are organic if you care about that (I don't really).- Protective SPF 40 and 50 available. Water resistant 80 mins.- Goes on easy once you've warmed it slightly either by rubbing the product onto your fingers or letting it sit in the sun for a couple minutes.- I can feel this sunscreen. They aren't kidding about using beeswax. This stuff is a bit sticky! However, I appreciate that I can physically feel if I've put enough product on different sections of my body. It takes a bit to absorb, but once it does, it's very moisturizing and feels nice.- Comes in an adorable metal tin that is so easy to reuse or recycle. It makes me think of Altoids tins and how some folks reuse those/create art with them.- Very compact, takes up almost on room.- Decent price at $5.62/oz. I paid $26.99 for a pack of two tins. Each tin contains 2.4 oz. of product.Cons:- Takes a little longer to apply. It's not always convenient/easy to get the product out of the tin.- If you're not used to the sticky sensation, it could throw you off.- You can get gunk inside the tin, which can be annoying to get out. In contrast, a bottle that's more sealed off wouldn't have this issue.- The tins are wrapped in a thin bit of plastic, so it's not a totally one-time-use plastic free experience.

This sunscreen works really, extremely well. It provides great sun protection and stays put. It does need a good, comprehensive cleaning to remove, so prepare for that.I love that the ingredients are all natural, check on the EWG database to verify its low score for toxic ingredients.

I really enjoy this sunscreen. It’s not completely plastic free as it comes with plastic seal but I'm not complaining. It's soooo much better then 90% of what is out there. That being said, the tin is easy to open while compact but still big enough you get a generous amount of product for the price. This would be super easy for carry on only plane travel or just to throw in a purse for daily carry.Just some things to note, I have extremely sensitive skin. This sunscreen does not bother my sensitive skin. It is completely fragrance free. Has minimal ingredients, and is one of the safest for you and for the environment on the market. I did my research before purchasing. That all being said. I really like this. It’s a hydrating formula some have called it greasy and I don't quite agree with that. Having used this all over my body as well as tested for regular day wear with no makeup and under makeup as well as a hot day of theme park and water park direct in the sun. And numerous hours of mowing in the direct sun. It's definitely heavier on the skin but it spreads well and in my opinion it rubs in well and the white cast in minimal. Under makeup it can be a bit heavy but the trick is to give it plenty of time to absorb. This sunscreen is very hydrating and always leaves my skin super soft. I have never been burned when using it. My friend even snatched some from me at the water park and she loved. Said it really made her skin soft. I call the finish luminous as it is made with oils but not so shiny that it's greasy. My acne prone skin has never broken out because of it. I use it frequently now especially as summer activities are in full swing and I need to protect my fair skin. It's also a pretty affordable option.

This organic sunscreen is fantastic in terms of protection and ingredients—feels good knowing it's natural! It goes on smoothly and provides great coverage. However, it does leave my skin feeling a little oily, especially in warmer weather. Still, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for an eco-friendly sunscreen
