Review on Badger Sunscreen Spectrum Resistant Ingredients by Matthew Gomatham

Revainrating 1 out of 5

World's Fattest Sunscreen

Tried over 20 sunscreens available in the US; This one looked promising and I bought two to love them. so I'm going to list the CONS first so you can judge if this sunscreen is worth it for you: CONS: - Washes off and is very easy to remove for a waterproof sunscreen; if your hair touches the areas where you applied it; You will see that the sunscreen has been significantly removed, turning your hair into a very greasy mass. It's like dipping that part of your hair in a jar of oil. The sunflower oil will spread all over and when you reapply your shirt collar will be like a soft sponge. Not to mention you'll be walking around like a fat ball. - When reapplied, "pure" zinc becomes pretty much a pasty white layer (remember sunscreen needs to be reapplied) - It makes deeper skin tones lavender/ashy - non-vegan, uses beeswax - EWG- Rating based on our own small lab tests EWG tests sponsored by the organic industry (at least questionable as products with the exact ingredients also have different ratings on their website). The EWG is a lobby group, not an organization like the FDA. An example of using this sunscreen in real life would be using it on a walk: anything can easily remove this sunscreen from your face. If it's windy and you have long hair; that's more than enough to instantly remove a decent amount of sunscreen. I don't have any noticeable wrinkles on my forehead; but he opted for thin lines so that 5 minutes after the first re-application they looked like a canyon. Pros: + Doesn't smell bad + Because it's a mineral sunscreen, it doesn't sting or sting around the eyes + Badger is a sustainable company.
