Badger Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen, SPF 50, 98% Organic with Zinc Oxide, Non Toxic, Water Resistant, Unscented & Hypoallergenic, Broad - Spectrum, For Adventure, Travel & Sport, 2.4 oz Tin

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;DR My 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.

Great mineral sunscreen. Works well for me without the need to re-apply often. Badger makes quality products without all of the bad ingredients. I really like the tin can too. Since it is more like a solid, it does not feel greasy like a liquid sunscreen.

Can't help myself, but I often do extensive research before I buy a product. No different with this one. I'm prone to getting "sun poison," which causes me to have large splotchy areas all over when the sun is strong in the summer-- even if I'm not directly in the sun. My dermatologist advised me to wear a sunscreen that's mineral and at least 50 SPF. She said they are effective because they provide broad spectrum protection and are especially good for sensitive skin. This product came highly recommended from several sources. I bought it for a summer trip I was making to Europe for three weeks where I'd be outside quite a bit. It didn't disappoint. First, I have honey-colored skin, which makes it difficult to wear mineral sunscreens. They tend to leave a white cast, which often doesn’t disappear even with extensive rubbing. Second, because of my allergies, I can’t wear anything with fragrance. As advertised, this product is unscented and hypoallergenic as well. I like the fact that it’s made from natural ingredients. When applied it didn’t leave a white residue as most mineral screens do. That made regular application quick and easy. No problems with sunburn or splotchiness on my skin after being outside. I definitely recommend this product.

I bought this for a trip to Jamaica and got zero sunburn with a single application per day. The sunscreen is quite thick; you need to be patient with application and rub it all the way in. But if you do, you will walk past all the scorched people at the resort knowing you bought and used the correct sunscreen.

It definitely works, I was in the sun for three hours doing yard work with fair skin and didn't get sunburned. But .....it's a heavy sunscreen. It made my skin feel sticky. Which makes sense because it's not like store bought sunscreen. This sunscreen doesn't soak in, it provides a barrier. So it definitely works. Also it doesn't come off very easily. I took a warm shower and I still feel like it's on my skin, so I guess I don't have to worry about the sun for the rest of the day. But it could clog your pores . So there's pros and cons but it definitely works.

Omg I just tried it on and it’s better than any viral Korean sunscreen I have ever tried, it doesn’t feel greasy and it feels so good and it feels like skincare and it immediately hydrated my skin!

As far as reef safe mineral sunscreen goes this is a nicer one. Convenient size convenient packaging. I don't like it. Reef safe. Better for you. Did a great job of sun protection. Can't recommend a better product. But the white greasy mess and difficult application of mineral sunscreen needs to make an advancement. I'd honestly rather wear all the sun gear than deal with this form of sunscreen. As a person who needs a lot of sunscreen, this is just. Ugh. And this is one of the better versions. Opinions may vary

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.

Uzun kullanım sonucu yorumumu güncelliyorum: Organik sertifikalı, hayvanlar üzerinde test etmeyen, Amerikan malı, deniz ve doğaya dost ürün. Bu ürün 50 faktör olması yanında alışılmışın dışında metal oval bir kapta. Kullanımı kolay. Ufak çantaya bile sığar. İçeriği beyaz, ilk başta sert. Parmakla alınınca yumuşak krem haline geliyor. Kolay dağılıyor. Uygulaması da kolay. Kokusu yok. Fakat iyice yedirmek gerekiyor cilde, özellikle yüzünüze sürecekseniz. Ciltte ilk başta beyaz duruyor ama dağıttıkça azcık düzeliyor. Ciltte ki kızarıklıkları da kapatıyor ! Yüzünüz aydınlık oluyor. Güneşte kesinlikle yüzünüz terlemiyor, yanmıyor. Mükemmel bir ürün. Bu markanın her ürününü zaten severek kullanıyorum. Fiyatı döviz kurundan dolayı yüksek yoksa Amerika'da çok ucuz bir markadır. Fiyatını da hakediyor. Tavsiye ederim.

İndirimden aldım, ailecek kullanıp göreceğiz yaz mevsiminde. Kokusuz ve organik olması çocuklarıma daha sağlıklı olacağı için tercih ettim.

Hızlı ve başarılı

Antalya bölgesinde yaşıyorum. Çocuk için kullanıyorum. Güneş yanığın oluşmasını engelliyor. Sürülmeyen bölgelerle farkı görebiliyoruz. Dolayısıyla; görevini yaptığını söyleyebilirim. Doğal bileşenlerden oluşuyor.. Esas olarak; çinko mineralli sayesinde, yansıtma yaparak koruma sağlıyor. Fiziki bariyer oluşturuyor. Kullanılan çinko Nano değil. Yani; vücut emiliminin düşük olacağını düşünüyorum. Tercih etmemizin başlıca sebeplerinden biri bu husustu. Titanyumsuz, nano olmayan çinko. (Biz nano olmayan istiyorduk, çinko vücuda faydalı bir mineral olsa da fazlası zararlı olabilir diye düşündük)Suya dayanıklılık konusunda ortalama bir performansa sahip. Daha sık uygulama gerektirebilir. Kıvamı nedeniyle sürmesi biraz zorluyor. Çok çok beğendiğim bir ürün. Lakin maliyeti fazla.
