I had seen that Badger sunscreen got a high rating on the Environmental Working Group website so I went out and got it for my kids because I am trying to reduce the number of toxic products they come in contact with. It does leave the skin VERY white but I would perfer that to rubbing chemicals into their skin. (It makes their skin so white and pasty that I used regular sunscreen on my daughter at her birthday party because I knew she would be in a ton of pictures and didn't want her looking like a ghost but other than that, they use it every day.) Another bonus it that their skin is protected right after the sunscreen is applied, not like regular sunscreen that you have to apply 20-30 minutes before sun exposure.
My daughter-in-law and I both got sunburns despite using this product. We were in eastern Oregon desert under hot sun in late May and used the sunscreen heavily and frequently. SPF30 usually protects me well but I wanted to try something without harmful ingredients so bought Badger. I probably wouldn't use again anyway as the texture is unpleasant--grainy--and it's hard to apply evenly and leaves a white film on the skin.
The sunscreen I ordered was sent and received on time. Badger SPF 30 sunscreen worked great sailing in the Hawaiian sun. No sun burn.
I found the sunscreen to spread evenly. There are some lumps in it, but that also spread without problems. I only use a little on my face and that doesn't make it look pale. However, it can be a bit greasy.
So though overall I'm pretty satisfied now, I may try something else in the summer for my face.
I have a very sensitive skin, and many products like this give me a very strong rash, but this one since i started using it, no problem. Thank God.
This is some of the best stuff on the market as we have researched/bought quite a bit having four boys. This stuff is a bit thick but it sure does the job.
May provide good protection, but does not absorb, so you have a white sheen that just gets worse as you sweat. Also, has an unpleasant smell. Regret that I bought 2 tubes and very unlikely to purchase again.
