Product Description

BADGER SETS THE STANDARD FOR SIMPLE SAFE BABY SUNSCREEN - Badger sets the bar for simple, safe baby sunscreen that protects your infants and toddlers. Non-nano zinc oxide, organic sunflower oil, organic beeswax, sunflower vitamin E, organic chamomile, organic calendula, and organic seabuckthorn are the only seven simple ingredients in this broad spectrum mineral sunscreen. Gluten-free, as determined by a pediatrician
MINERAL ZINC OXIDE PROTECTS - Badger's SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Cream uses our original non-nano, large particle zinc oxide, which stays on top of your baby's skin, scattering and absorbing UVA and UVB rays. It's ideal for the beach, pool, or light activities because it's naturally water and sweat resistant for at least 40 minutes. Chamomile is a light flower that can be used in a variety of ways.
REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN - If it's good for coral, it's also good for your baby. Badger sunscreens are free of oxybenzone and other chemicals that have been linked to coral and human health. The EWG sunscreen guide gives all Badger sunscreen lotions and creams a top rating for safety and efficacy, and this eco-friendly biodegradable mineral sunscreen protects you without endangering marine life.
98%ORGANIC INGREDIENTS FOR HEALTHY BABY SKIN - The certified organic sunscreen base ingredients are antioxidant rich, ultra moisturizing, and great for your babies skin . No dyes, parabens, or other artificial ingredients are used in this product, which is non-GMO. Your baby's skin will benefit from the use of natural ingredients.
A BRAND YOU CAN TRUST - Since 1995, Badger has been a family-owned, women-run B Corporation (Benefit Corp) in rural New Hampshire, producing mineral baby sunscreens and other organic skin care products that we use on our own families. We are the industry leaders in natural sunscreens that are both safe and effective. Don't just take our word for it; read the ingredients, see what others have to say about Badger sunscreens, and give them a try.

Questions & Answers

Is this appropriate for children of what age? What is the age range for 'babies'? Thanks! ?

I'm not sure what the suggested ages are. However, I've used it myself on numerous occasions when my grandson and I are out and I forget to bring sunscreen. Until you rub it in, it appears to be white. It rubs in nicely for me and seems to last a long time; I haven't noticed any rubbing off onto my clothes once it's properly applied. It has a distinct odor that my grandson does not seem to mind. Once it's rubbed in, I'm not aware of the scent. My daughter has taken him swimming, and the sunscreen appears to have held up well in the water. So far, I'd say this sunscreen is a good choice.

What is the strength of the odor?

As an example, consider the following: Even if you pressed your nose against your skin, the scent would be weak. The sunscreen has a light scent that is reminiscent of the amazing ingredients! The scent, however, fades after about 10 minutes. It has also improved the appearance and feel of our skin.

Is there no paba in it?

I'm hoping so, but they don't advertise on the tube as paba free. It isn't included in the list of ingredients. The following is a list of ingredients: Ingredient in the Active Sunscreen: Non- Zinc Oxide Nano, Uncoated 18. Other Sunscreen Ingredients: Other Sunscreen Ingredients: Other S *Helianthus Annuus (Organic Sunflower) Oil, *Cera Alba (Organic Beeswax), CO2 Extracts of *Hippophae Rhamnoides (Organic Seabuckthorn) and *Calendula Officinalis (Organic Calendula), *Anthemis Nobilis (Organic Chamomile) Essential Oil, Tocopherol (Sunflower Vitamin E), and Tocopherol (Sunflower Vitamin E * denotes organic certification

Is it necessary for the baby to be at least 6 months old in order to use this? I am the mother of a six-week-old child. Thanks! ?

In fact, just before the summer of 2013, the American Academy of Pediatrics revised their recommendations. Mineral sunscreens (that contain regular zinc oxide) are safe for babies, according to the experts, and should be used on newborns if the sun cannot be avoided.

Selected User Reviews For Badger - SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Cream with Zinc Oxide - Broad Spectrum & Water Resistant, Reef Safe Sunscreen, Natural Mineral Sunscreen with Organic Ingredients 2.9 fl oz

A zero rating is deserved because there is no protection
3/5

There will be no more. At the water park, I used it and reapplied it several times. I'm in a lot of pain, and my kids are as well, which makes me feel terrible. This is deserving of a zero rating because it provided me with no protection:.

I wanted to make something healthy for my son, so I tried this
3/5

The application is streaky, and after taking some beach photos, I noticed a white cast on my son's skin. My hands were also a shambles after I'd applied it. When you're at the beach, it's difficult to find a place to wash your hands, so I tried wiping them off with my towel. Sand clung to my hands, making them feel as if I'd rubbed them with wet chalk dust, and I didn't think the coverage lasted long. Since then, I've discovered Supergoop, which I strongly advise over this. I like a lot of other Badger products, so writing this makes me feel bad, but perhaps it will encourage them to improve their formula.

More than one should be ordered
5/5

It takes a lot of effort to cover a small infant. A single tube lasted 11 applications (due to its thickness). Males are notoriously slick when it comes to babies. Sunburn prevention is a cinch with this product. br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. My skin was irritated to the point of having a chemical burn on my hands, which I assumed was caused by the garden. Following application, my 8-month-old son began to experience irritations. This is still a great product in my opinion, but I would definitely test it on a small area before applying it to the entire body.

This sunscreen was purchased because it is biodegradable and contains healthy ingredients
3/5

We took a trip to Hawaii for a vacation. This sunscreen appealed to me because it is both biodegradable and contains high-quality ingredients. We took a trip to Hawaii, and I was relieved to know that we would not be harming the ocean life with toxic chemicals. We did, however, get a little sunburn while using this product, and since I am not a beach bum, we spent a lot of time sightseeing. The sunscreen was fine for these brief periods in the sun, but we didn't fare so well after a boat ride: D My husband, much to my surprise, burned more than I did. I set fire to places I never imagined could be burned. I'm 33 years old and I'm still discovering that you can sunburn your ears as well: D I'm going to start putting sunscreen on my ears as well. We did, however, get sunburned in areas where the sunscreen was not applied, and we reapplied several times. So I'm not sure how effective it is in terms of safeguarding. Definitely not 30 spf, perhaps half or even less. Plus, my husband claims that the sunscreen washed away his Asian features and turned him into a Caucasian. It does leave a white film on your skin, which I don't mind because I expected it after reading the reviews. The low level of sun protection, on the other hand, was a disappointment. When spending more time in the sun, I recommend wearing hats and long sleeves. You'll be fine for short-term protection.

Sensitive skin will appreciate it
5/5

My baby's sensitive skin can only tolerate this sunscreen. Of course, I want to keep her safe from the sun's rays, and this is a great way to do so. She's never gotten a sunburn while using this product, and the only minor drawback is that it's a little difficult to fully absorb into the skin. The sunscreen always leaves a white stain. It doesn't help that when I try to apply anything to her, including sunscreen, she turns away. We'll definitely keep using this product because it's so effective.

It has a wonderful scent
4/5

I really like how this stuff smells! Like the chamomile tea I make to unwind. As soon as I smell it, I feel relaxed due to subliminal conditioning. It also appears to provide adequate sun protection. But I do have a couple of minor gripes. One is that it's very thick, but it's also more difficult to spread to get a good amount of coverage for the amount of product used. The other has both positive and negative characteristics. It's white, and rubbing it away is nearly impossible. This is both good and bad in my opinion because the white allows you to see where the coverage is and highlights areas that you may have overlooked. The downside is that unless you sit and rub rub rub, you're going to be white haha!.

This is what we did in Florida
3/5

I followed the instructions to the letter and. This is what we did in Florida. I followed the directions and applied it correctly (I'm a sunblock nazi who shakes the bottle thoroughly, applies even coverage everywhere, and reapplies after sweat/water/every hour). On the first day, the entire family wore Honest Company sunblock and no one got sunburned. Everyone except my husband used Honest for the next two days, and I smothered him with Badger. It smelled terrible, and he was scorched all over. I will not purchase this product again.

I'm very pleased with the product, which, despite its thickness, spreads extremely easily
5/5

The white chalky look is avoided by using a thin layer. This is something I bought to use on my face. Because my skin is dry, I'm relieved to learn that this cream does not dry it out. It also doesn't feel greasy, which makes me happy. I usually apply it after applying my face cream and before applying a thin layer of CC cream, and then I'm good to go. I don't mind the odor at all- It's the scent of chamomile and calendula.
