After reading on how highly rated and safe this Badger Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Sunscreen Cream is, on EWG website, I decided to get it from Iherb. You can quote OKI787 to get up to US$10 off your first purchase on Iherb.
However, the moment I slather it on my arms, I regretted my purchase almost immediately. Potent stuff? Perhaps. Since it doesn't budge. So yes, you can called it water resistant. Thick, creamy and doesn't slide off easily. And it stains my clothes. You just have to continue massage it to and fro, until the white cast disappears. I am aghast, since I will definitely not use it on my face, it looks pore-clogging.
Texture aside, this sunscreen is certainly impressive with its ingredients alone. Badger Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Sunscreen Cream contains only 5 ingredients in its list, and comprises of non-nano uncoated Zinc Oxide at 22.5%.
For the uninitiated, Zinc Oxide is made is a powdered mineral that sits on top of the skin, scattering and absorbing UVA and UVB rays. It is a mineral that does not dissolve into our sunscreens and does not absorb into your skin and is therefore considered significantly different than the synthetic sunscreen chemicals that only work by absorbing into your skin.
Upon application, zinc oxide particles sit on the outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum, where they scatter, absorb, and reflect ultraviolet radiation, protecting your living skin below. Zinc oxide is unique among sunscreen ingredients in that it is truly a broad-spectrum blocker, protecting from UVA, UVB, and even UVC. Titanium dioxide is another mineral active ingredient you may see in other brands' sunscreens. While it protects from UVB rays very well it does not protect from UVA as well as zinc oxide does. You can read more about it on the Badger website.
Note that I only use the Badger Sunscreen Cream all over my arms and hands so I can't comment if there will be breakouts on my face. I tend to prefer a lighter textured sunscreen for my face and currently, I am using John Masters SPF30 Mineral Sunscreen for that.
