Badger Unscented Zinc Oxide Sunscreen SPF 50 — 3-Pack 2.9 fl oz Tubes, Reef-Safe & Water-Resistant

Badger SPF 50 Unscented Zinc Oxide Sunscreen is a mineral-based, reef-safe sunblock that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection with 98% organic ingredients in a handy 2.9 fl oz travel-ready tube.

This unscented zinc oxide formula combines simple, recognizable ingredients to protect skin from UVA and UVB rays while minimizing environmental impact. The lotion rubs in clear, resists water and sweat for up to 80 minutes, and avoids oxybenzone and other reef-harming chemicals — making it suitable for beach days, water sports, and everyday outdoor use. Packaged in a tube made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic and produced with solar power in the USA, it’s designed for people who want effective sun protection with a lower ecological footprint.

How does this sunscreen protect me during water activities?

Badger’s mineral zinc oxide sits on the skin to physically block UVA and UVB radiation rather than relying on chemical absorption. The formula is tested to remain effective through 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy perspiration, so you can stay active without reapplying immediately after brief swims.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 zinc oxide
• 80 minutes water and sweat resistant
• Rub-in clear texture for face and body
• Unscented for less irritation around eyes and nose

What ingredients are in the sunscreen and why does that matter?

The ingredient list is intentionally short and readable: non-nano zinc oxide for sun protection, organic sunflower oil for skin conditioning, organic beeswax for texture and adhesion, and vitamin E as an antioxidant. With 98% organic content and without chemical UV filters, the product reduces the chance of sensitivity for reactive skin while keeping the formula biodegradable.

• Non-nano zinc oxide — physical UV barrier
• Organic sunflower oil — lightweight moisturization
• Organic beeswax — helps the lotion stay on skin
• Vitamin E — supports skin barrier health

Is this sunscreen safe for reefs and travel to protected waters?

Yes — the formulation avoids oxybenzone and similar chemical agents that research links to coral stress. It’s labeled reef safe and meets travel guidelines for places that restrict certain sunscreen ingredients, making it a practical option for snorkeling, diving vacations, and trips to marine reserves.

• Free of oxybenzone and reef-harming chemicals
• Biodegradable ingredients to minimize environmental impact
• Approved for travel to sensitive marine areas like Mexico and Hawaii
• Compact 2.9 fl oz tubes fit in carry-on bags

How do I use it for best protection?

Apply liberally to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours or after 80 minutes in the water, towel drying, or heavy sweating. Because mineral sunscreens sit on the skin surface, thorough coverage and regular reapplication are essential for consistent broad-spectrum defense.

• Apply 15 minutes before going outdoors
• Reapply every 2 hours or after prolonged water exposure
• Use a nickel-to-quarter sized amount for face; more for body
• Rub until fully absorbed for clear finish

Who is this for: This Badger SPF 50 unscented zinc oxide sunblock is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, families, and travelers who want strong physical sun protection without synthetic UV filters. It suits sensitive or scent-sensitive skin, water-sport users needing water resistance, and eco-conscious shoppers seeking biodegradable, reef-friendly choices in compact, reusable packaging.
