Cheap Badger SPF 30 Sunscreen Great product for Badger SPF 30 Sunscreen For Face & Body 2.9 oz (82 g). I read the EWG sunscreen report and found this sunscreen as an alternative to the commercial ones I’ve been using. You don’t need too much of it, so although it is expensive it goes a long way. One of the impt things though is that it does need to be re-applied, particularly around water use. If you want to save shipping chgs, I also found it later at Whole Foods.

Excellent sunscreen for Badger SPF 30 Sunscreen. We were shocked to find how hazardous most sunscreens are. It made me feel like a bad parent to have been slathering my children with those supermarket brands. I feel so relieved to find such a wonderful product that is healthier and more effective. I find the mild lavender scent to be pleasant and the texture to be excellent. I don’t take any extra time to rub it in. My children are happy because it doesn’t cause them to itch after application like other brands. Overall, we are very happy with Badger and will use it exclusively.
I get horrible contact dermatitis from any sort of chemical sunscreen except for sunscreens that contain only octinoxate. I used to use an SPF 15 Olay moisturizer that had only octinoxate and zinc oxide in it, but they changed the formula on me without me knowing, and, lo and behold, on the first application, I got what resembled a chemical burn and did not go away for 3 weeks. In my search of octinoxate or zinc oxide products, I stumbled across this one.
I have very pale and easily burning skin. Applying this sunscreen somewhat liberally (about a peanut-sized amount for each arm, for scale) every 2 hours or so keeps me from burning at all, and leaves me with either my original skin tone or only slightly darker, lightly tanned skin. Yes, it is difficult to apply, and yes, you are still going to have whitish residue wherever you apply it even after a full minute of vigorously rubbing it in — but, if you just keep rubbing at it, eventually, it WILL blend decently enough. I wouldn’t recommend this product for dark-skinned people, because the whitish residue would be too obvious, but for fair-skinned people, the skin tinting will be subtle enough. The smell of this sunscreen in the bottle is kind of weird, but you can’t really smell it at all after rubbing it in.
If you’re going to get it, use it quickly or store it in a cold space — the oils in it will settle out and some will solidify after a while. Squeezing the bottle while it’s closed, however, should do the trick if it just won’t come out.
One main drawback that I should mention is that this will not absorb completely into your skin and it thus leaves a creamy layer on top of your skin. For beach-goers like me, that means you need to avoid laying directly in sand as much as possible or else it will stick to you and it will NOT come off until you take a shower. I’d still rather look like a sand monster than get an itchy sunburn, though.
