A mineral sunscreen from Badger, in chamomile, rated SPF 30 on non-nano zinc oxide rather than a chemical filter. Badger builds these on olive oil and beeswax instead of petrolatum, so it sits on the skin and stays where it is put, in a 2.9 oz size.
It is the kind of thing that works by being close at hand – a coat pocket, a bench drawer, a bag by the door – because a thick mineral base does its job when it is reapplied rather than applied once. One 2.9 oz unit covers a season of regular use.
W.S. Badger Company has made herbal balms, salves and mineral sunscreens in Gilsum, New Hampshire since 1995. The factory runs on solar power, and Badger is a certified B Corp and a family-owned business.
