An average sized body (in a swimsuit) requires about 1oz (about 2/3 ofa shot glass) for full and complete coverage.The FDA tests sunscreen
efficacy using 2 miligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter of skin. The average human body is 18,000 square centimeters. By our calculations this means 1.2oz of sunscreen would adequately cover an entire human body.
- Rub in sunscreen to reduce whitening effect.
- Mineral based sunscreens, such as ours, are immediately effective and do not require time between application and sun exposure.
- If separation in product occurs, knead tube to remix product before use.

Badger Natural Sunscreen: SPF 30 Unscented
According to the Environmental Working Group's Cosmetic Safety Database, Badger makes the world's safest and most effective sunscreens.
Currently we make 3 of the top 10 sunscreens in their list of over 1600!
Other sunscreens contain chemicals that do not provide broad spectrum protection and many be harmful to human health and the environment. We don't use any of this bad stuff! We are also #1 in SafeMama.com's 2010 Safer Sunscreens.
Protects with Minerals not Chemicals
Badger sunscreens use micronized zinc oxide as its active sunscreen agent. Zinc oxide is a mineral that provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. It works by sitting on top of your skin, acting as a protective barrier that blocks the sun’s damaging rays before they reach your skin. It is also said to have anti-inflammatory properties and is considered the safest and most protective active sunscreen ingredient.
Determining SPF and What It Means
SPF, or Sunburn Protection Factor,
is a measure of how well a sunscreen will protect skin from UVB rays,
the kind of radiation that causes sunburn and can contribute to skin
cancer.
- If your skin would normally
burn after 10 minutes in the sun, applying an SPF 15 sunscreen would
allow you to stay in the sun without burning for approximately 150
minutes (a factor of 15 times longer). This is a rough estimate and
depends on skin type, intensity of sunlight and amount of sunscreen
used.
- For best protection, experts recommend using a
sunscreen with a minimum SPF rating of 15, applying the proper amount
(2mg/cm2 of skin, or about one ounce for full body coverage) and
reapplying every 2 hours.
- Most people under-apply sunscreens, using ¼ to ½ the
amount required. Using half the required amount of sunscreen only
provides the square root of the SPF. So, a half application of an SPF30
sunscreen only provides an effective SPF of 5.5!
The SPF scale is not linear:
- SPF15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
- SPF30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
- SPF50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
So, one way of looking at this is that SPF30 sunscreen only gives you 4% more protection than SPF15 sunscreen.
Or, another way of looking at it is:
- SPF15 (93% protection) allows 7 out of 100 photons through
- SPF30 (97% protection) allows 3 out of 100 photons through.
So, while you may not be doubling your level of protection, an SPF30 will block half the radiation that an SPF15 would let through to your skin.
