Summer has now come and I’d like to share with you my family’s experience with Badger Chemical Free Sunscreen. My entire family loves the beach. In fact, if we could move to a beach, we would. My baby loves the water, too and we’ve had our share of sunburn. We use whatever sunscreen we've found at the drugstore before we used Badger Natural Sunscreen. While I didn’t have any complaints with the sunscreens we’ve been using, I know that there must be a chemical-free alternative. I was concerned that chemical sunblocks might be absorbed in my skin and mess around with my hormone production. I was especially concerned since I have a genetic risk for cancers. All the more so for my kid who is susceptible to skin allergies.
I read about the Washington Post review of Badger Chemical Free Sunscreen and it was rated the best natural sunscreen. So I went online and got myself one from Earthturns.com.
First things first, Badger Chemical Free Sunscreen’s main ingredient is zinc oxide. The write-up from Earthturns.com says that Badger Natural Sunscreen acts as a physical barrier for both UVA and UVB rays. What that means is that this chemical-free sunscreen goes on white. My little one actually shrieked in glee when I applied this on her. She giggled at her reflection which made me laugh, too. The whiteness disappeared after some time in the water but I can still feel the sunscreen after 30 to 40 minutes of swimming. It doesn’t drip on the eyes, which is a godsend. I’ve had experiences when my daughter would bawl her eyes out whenever sunscreen goes into her eyes.
The smell could be improved because we did smell like a spice rack. That’s a small price to pay when you think about the benefits of this natural sunscreen. After we have applied this on our skin, we had a great time at the beach minus the sunburn.
Except for the smell, Badger Chemical Free Sunscreen is a keeper for my family. This chemical free product tops my list of natural sunscreen. There’s good reason why Badger sunscreen spf30 made it to the Washington Post.
