Badger SPF 30 for Face & Body

Badger SPF 30 for Face & Body gets good reviews from environmental and all-natural enthusiasts because it contains organic ingredients and relies on mineral sunscreen actives rather than chemical ones. It contains 20.5 percent zinc oxide, which provides excellent UVA and UVB protection but can make it difficult to rub in. Some users at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com also say that it leaves skin pale and whitish, but most say that it's worth it for the peace of mind that Badger provides. A few reviewers who are prone to sunburns say that Badger does a better job of protecting their skin than other sunscreens -- even those with a high SPF. The formula does contain some natural fragrance from essential oils, which can be a bit off-putting to some. If you prefer a completely fragrance free product, Blue Lizard Sunscreen Sensitive SPF 30+ (*Est. $15 for 5 oz.) also uses natural ingredients.
