Active Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 30
The gold standard for clean, non-toxic sun protection with only 5 simple ingredients. It uses non-nano zinc oxide in a base of organic sunflower oil and beeswax.
Quality & Materials
Active ingredient: 18.75% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide. Base: Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, Sunflower Vitamin E, and Organic Seabuckthorn Extract.
Evidence & Testing
EWG (Environmental Working Group) consistently rates this as a '1' (highest safety rating). It is clinically tested for 40 minutes of water resistance.
Brand Transparency
Badger is a B Corp and provides full transparency on their sourcing, including their Fair Trade certifications.
Value Assessment
Mid-range pricing for a high-concentration zinc product. A little goes a long way due to the waterless formula.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'natural' sunscreens still use synthetic preservatives or fragrances; Badger is one of the few that is 98% organic and completely waterless, meaning no need for harsh preservatives.
