Badger Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

Why I Recommend It

Badger Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is one of the simplest sunscreen formulas I've come across. It relies on 25% non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum sun protection and contains only a handful of thoughtfully selected ingredients. I appreciate that it's made with 85% organic ingredients, is Non-GMO Project Verified, and avoids many of the ingredients I routinely recommend limiting or avoiding.
