Badger Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Zinc Oxide 2-Pack — 2.9 fl oz Tubes, 80-Min Water-Resistant

Badger Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a high-protection, reef-compliant zinc-oxide sunscreen designed for active days outdoors while using clean, mostly organic ingredients.

This two-pack of 2.9 fl oz tubes delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 coverage using non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide and a short ingredient list that emphasizes gentle, effective sun protection. The formula is sweat- and water-resistant for 80 minutes, rubs in clear without a chalky residue, and avoids common chemical UV filters that are restricted in some coastal areas. Packaged responsibly and made in the USA by a women-owned company, this sunscreen balances performance with environmental and ingredient transparency.

How does this sunscreen protect skin during intense outdoor activities?

This is a mineral (physical) sunscreen that relies on zinc oxide to block UVA and UVB radiation. Because the zinc oxide is non-nano and uncoated, it sits on the skin to reflect and scatter rays rather than being absorbed like many chemical filters.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 shields against UVA and UVB exposure.
• Sweat- and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes—suitable for swimming and sports.
• Rub-in-clear finish prevents visible white cast on most skin tones.
• Clinically tested for sensitive skin compatibility.

What ingredients are in this sunscreen and why do they matter?

The formula contains just four main ingredients: non-nano zinc oxide, organic sunflower oil, organic beeswax, and sunflower-derived vitamin E. That short list reduces the chance of irritation and excludes synthetic chemical UV filters and fragrance.

• Non-nano zinc oxide: primary UV-protective mineral ingredient.
• Organic sunflower oil and vitamin E for skin conditioning and stability.
• Organic beeswax for water resistance and a smooth application.
• No oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances.

Is this sunscreen safe for reefs and compliant with coastal regulations?

Yes — this product meets reef-safe standards and is formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate, two ingredients often restricted in tropical and protected marine areas. It earned certification for Protect Land + Sea compliance where applicable.
