Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you are in the market for a mineral sunscreen, Badger Sport Sunscreen SPF 35 is a very good option. Aside from zinc oxide, it has only five other ingredients. It is water-resistant which can be a problem of other very fine products from distributors such as Purple Prairie Botanicals which aren't water-resistant. If you are not familiar with this type of product, namely mineral sunscreens, you need to keep in mind: - Mineral sunscreens, unlike chemical ones, do not absorb into your skin. They act as a physical barrier to the sun's damaging rays. This is in marked contrast to chemical sunscreens that rely on chemicals to disperse the sun's damaging rays. These chemicals are absorbed by the skin and are the problem. If you check out EWG.org, you will see a listing of each ingredient in the sunscreen you select and the potential damage (allergy, hormone disruption, cancer, etc.). - Mineral sunscreens rely on Zinc or Titanium minerals as their primary ingredient. Because of this, you are going to have to deal with a white residue from mineral sunscreens (thus, their name). In my research, this is the most common complaint. My family concurs with this -- especially if you put on the amount you are supposed to. Lastly, people have complained about the odor of this sunscreen. This can easily be solved by looking at the very SMALL list of ingredients: olive oil, beeswax, cacao seed butter, shea butter, jojoba seed oil. For me, it smells of olive oil and shea butter. I wish that the size of the tube and the cost were a bit more equitable considering how much you are to put on to maintain the SPF.
