Badger SPF30 Clear Zinc Sunscreen - Unscented

'Non-nano' means the zinc oxide particles are too large to pass through the skin's pores. This is a safety feature, as the particles remain on the skin's surface to act as a physical barrier against UV rays.

Yes, the formula is gentle and made with natural, organic ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin, including babies and children. However, always perform a patch test first and consult with a pediatrician if you have concerns.

This sunscreen is water-resistant for at least 40 minutes. It's important to reapply after swimming or sweating, and at least every 40 minutes.

The formula is non-comedogenic and uses natural ingredients that are generally gentle. However, individual reactions can vary. Those with very oily or acne-prone skin may prefer to test a small area first, as mineral sunscreens can sometimes feel heavier.

Unopened, the sunscreen typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Once opened, it is best used within one year to ensure optimal efficacy and quality. Check the product packaging for specific expiration dates.

The uncoated clear zinc oxide is used in a unique formulation that clumps into porous structures. These structures allow light to pass through, making them appear clear on the skin once rubbed in, while still providing effective UV protection.

Yes, the product is explicitly labeled as 'reef-friendly' and biodegradable, meaning it does not contain ingredients like oxybenzone or octinoxate that are known to harm coral reefs.

Ensure you are applying a sufficient amount and rubbing it in thoroughly. The clear zinc formula is designed to blend, but may require extra attention on very fair or deep skin tones. Try warming a small amount between your hands before applying.

Apply a thinner layer and ensure skin is fully dry before application. While moisturizing, it should absorb well. If the issue persists, try applying to a smaller area at a time or test on a less sensitive body part.

Shake the product well before use. Apply in smaller sections and rub each section in fully before moving to the next. Applying to slightly damp skin can sometimes aid in spreading.

Ensure you are reapplying at least every 40 minutes, especially after swimming or sweating, as per the product guidelines. Make sure the skin is dry before reapplication for optimal adherence.
