Badger, a Certified B Corporation, has been making trusted, gentle products for nearly 30 years. It also earns a top score of 1 from the EWG, and is formulated with just seven ingredients: zinc, chamomile, calendula, sunflower oil, sea buckthorn, beeswax, and vitamin E. It’s so gentle that Dr. Johnson calls it “one of the safer sunscreens available,” adding that it’s “exactly what I want from products for reactive or allergy-prone skin.”
It is a bit hard to squeeze out of the tube, because the consistency is more like an ointment than a lotion or a cream, but it’s totally worth the effort. The cream has a slight yellow tint and a rich, buttery texture that spreads beautifully. At first, it feels a little greasy, but it absorbs quickly and leaves skin nice and smooth. Best of all, there’s absolutely no white cast, which is a rare find for a zinc-based sunscreen.
