Badger 50

Badger 50

The Badger 50 sunscreen is my go-to when I’m spending a full day in the sun, especially when I’m surfing or hiking. I’ve always been on the lookout for a sunscreen that’s both effective and environmentally friendly, and Badger 50 hits the mark on both fronts. With an SPF of 50, it provides strong protection against UVA and UVB rays, which is crucial for someone like me who spends a lot of time outdoors.

One thing I appreciate about Badger 50 is its commitment to using natural and organic ingredients. The formula is gentle on my skin, which is important because I’ve had reactions to chemical sunscreens in the past. However, the thick consistency of the sunscreen means it requires a bit more effort to apply. It leaves a noticeable white cast, especially if you don’t rub it in well, which can be a downside if you’re looking for something that blends seamlessly into your skin.

Despite the thickness, Badger 50 stays on well during intense activities. I’ve worn it while surfing for hours, and it doesn’t wash off easily, which is a huge plus. It’s also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so I don’t have to worry about reapplying constantly. However, the thick texture can feel a bit heavy on hot days, which is something to consider if you prefer a lighter sunscreen.

The fact that it’s biodegradable and reef-safe is a big win in my book. I’ve become more conscious of the products I use, especially when I’m in the ocean, so knowing that Badger 50 is safe for marine life is important to me. The moisturizing ingredients like sunflower oil and vitamin E also help keep my skin from drying out, which is a nice bonus.

Overall, Badger 50 is a reliable and eco-friendly sunscreen that I trust for long days in the sun. While the thick consistency and white cast might not be for everyone, its strong protection and environmentally conscious formula make it a solid choice.
