Four organic ingredients make up Badger Sport Natural Mineral Sunscreen; all safe for the ocean and us.
Badger Sport Sunscreen offers heavy-duty broad spectrum protection… if used correctly. It is vital to apply this sunscreen before activity and rub-in well. The beeswax waterproofing ingredient works relatively well.
However, if you sweat with this sunscreen the beeswax can make it ball up. Reapplication while wet does not work well. And it is necessary to reapply this sunscreen at least every 80 minutes, if not 60 minutes.
The application requires effort as the texture is thick and sticky, but a small amount of product can spread far. There is a sheen on the skin, a slight greasy feeling, and a some white cast that might go away with more rub-in effort.
This sunscreen carries an insignificant powdery smell if you put your nose right up to it.
The price is competitive with other natural mineral sunscreens. We recommend this sunscreen to ocean and lake visitors as it is reef-safe, water resistant and provides broad spectrum UV protection.
