I love them ease of carrying a tin. I carry a bag for my boys and I and this helps to lighten the load. However, it is very thicker. I suggested warming it up on your fingertips first before use.

This is the best reef-safe sunscreen that I have tried. Finally no white-cast! It rubs in much easier than other mineral sunscreens and it is a great size to fit in my purse. This might be difficult to get over your entire body (it’s more of an everyday sunscreen than a day at the beach sunscreen). I will definitely buy this again when I run out.

I wanted a sunscreen that would blend well into my skin so it didn’t look like I was wearing sunscreen. And this does the trick perfectly. I am not sure how long this will last me it is small but also thick.

I love this sunscreen! I have very sensitive, acne prone skin and this does not aggravate it. This sunscreen also doesn’t leave an intense white cast that other facial sunscreens tend to do. I have gone though multiple other sunscreens to find one that works. This is reef safe, has recyclable packaging, and the company does not test on animals. What else is there? Love it.

Works, but leaves my skin feeling oily, especially my face. I might be using too much and will keep experimenting.

Opting for reef-safe, chemical-free mineral sunscreens comes with the cost of a frustrating application process. For the most part, I utilize spray-on mineral sunscreens during the summer and, with each spray application, I proceed to take the next 10 minutes to try and get it to absorb into my skin.
I bought this Badger sunscreen to have a smaller, more portable option for my purse or hiking bag, and I’m very pleased with it. It absorbs quickly and easily and, while it still leaves something of a pale tint to the skin, I would say it’s minimal, especially compared to typical mineral sunscreens. I applied it all over my face and around my neck to go paddleboarding this past weekend, and I’m happy to report that it did not cause me to break out! I will purchase again once I go through this first batch.

Question
Naveen –
Has this sunscreen been tested on dark skin tones? I know most people report that there isn’t a cast, but what about for deeper skin types?

Hi Naveen! As far as natural sunscreens go, this is one of the clearest options- Many other natural sunscreens leave a cast even on lighter skin tones. Customers with medium/dark skin tones have found luck with this sunscreen! If you do end up giving this one a try, please let us know how it goes!
