Thank you for communicating with us! We're sorry to hear about your experience!

We are a family-owned company whose entire mission is to create products that protect and soothe. We use everything we make on our own friends, family and loved ones. Because of this, we employ safety and testing standards that are beyond anything asked of us as manufacturers. Here is some further information on what goes into assessing the safety and efficacy of our sunscreen. We conduct rigorous testing on our sunscreens to meet U.S. and international standards. All Badger sunscreens are tested in independent professional laboratories that follow the FDA's prescribed sunscreen testing protocols. Every production batch of our sunscreen is also tested to ensure that it contains the required amount of active ingredient, zinc oxide. We sell many thousands of sunscreens every year and hear regularly from people how well it works for them. It is important to note that no sunscreen is fail-proof, however. We’ve found that with mineral sunscreens there are some common misunderstandings that can contribute to a lowered level of protection, such as the timing of first application, reapplication, and the intensity of solar radiation. We recommend other sun protection measures including limiting time in the sun, especially from 10am - 2pm, and wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses. Underapplication is often the biggest culprit behind burns with any sunscreen. Using half the required amount of sunscreen only provides the square root of the protection - so a half application of an SPF 30 sunscreen only provides an effective SPF of 5.5. The FDA tests all sunscreens using 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter of skin. For a 155lb adult body (in a swimsuit) that means about 1oz for full and complete coverage. Again, we are sorry you didn’t have a better experience. Let us know how we can be of further help.
