Badger Sport Mineral Sunscreen Cream - SPF 40 - 2.9 fl oz

We're so sorry that you didn't have a better experience! Our Clear zinc oxide is non-nano so there will still be a physical, mineral layer on your skin that won't absorb into living tissue, but it should be virtually invisible on most skin tones once it is well-blended. For darker skin tones, we would recommend our SPF Daily or Face which were specially formulated for spreadability, broader skin tones, and a light, absorbent feel. However, if your skin was irritated, you may have an ingredient sensitivity in which case we'd advise checking with your doctor and conducting skin patch tests for new products prior to broader application. The complete list of ingredients in this sunscreen is: Clear zinc oxide, organic Sunflower oil, organic beeswax, and Sunflower vitamin E. We have a full satisfaction guarantee so please feel free to reach out to our customer service team for support and they'll be glad to help.

We are so sorry you had such a terrible experience! A few different things to address here but sunburn and skin reactions are most certainly not what you should expect from a Badger sunscreen. Please reach out to our customer service team for support and they'll be glad to help. You can reach them by email at custserv@badgerbalm.com, by phone at 800-603-6100, or by web chat. Per thickness, our sunscreens are somewhat thicker than conventional, water-based lotions but the fact that they are waterless is what makes them incredibly good for your skin and short on harsh preservatives and unnecessary ingredients. In terms of 4 different skin reactions, we would definitely want to better understand what happened here. We use food grade ingredients and full disclosure labeling. With only 4 ingredients in the formula and no hidden additives or fragrance, it's astonishing to hear that 4 different people would share the same unidentified ingredient allergy! It is very likely that sharing one tube of sunscreen amongst 4 people would contribute to lowered protection, however. This is a 2.9oz tube of sunscreen which does not contain enough sunscreen to support a group this size. I don't see a record of sale on our website but if you could provide our customer service team with further information such as lot number, exp, and place of purchase, we'll be glad to help you make a return.

We are very sorry to hear that you had this experience! Please reach out to our customer service team at custserv@badgerbalm.com so we can better understand what happened and offer you support. We conduct rigorous testing on our sunscreens to meet both U.S. and international standards for efficacy but no sunscreen can fully guarantee against sunburn. Two of the most common contributors to lowered protection are underapplication and/or applying/reapplying sunscreen after a burn response has already been triggered. As an inflammatory response, a burn will continue to develop over time and cannot be reversed or avoided with the application of additional sunscreen. Again, please contact our team and we will be glad to help.
