Badger Sunblock For Face & Body

Badger SPF 15 Sunscreen Lip Balm .15 oz BalmAs far as I can tell, this is the same thing as the regular Badger sunscreen, except in stick form, so it comes with the same drawbacks the same heavy gooey feel and thick white film. It also has the same smell, which I really enjoyed in the sunscreen, but is quite a different story when it's on your lips and you have to taste it.

Given that it's labeled as a 'lip balm', I expected it to be clear and moisturizing. I was hoping I could replace my chapstick with it. However, this product is quite different. I applied it when my lips felt a bit dry without thinking to look in the mirror, and when my boyfriend saw my face, he was in tears laughing... my lips were covered in a thick, bluish-white film. Moreover, they felt even more dry than before... I had basically slopped a bunch of sunscreen on top of my chapped lips. It wasn't until afterwards that I read the part of the directions that states, 'a little goes a long way' you really need to dot your lips gently with as little as humanly possible, and then rub it in, but even that doesn't get rid of the drying feeling or the sunscreen-y taste.

In the end, this product left me wondering, 'what is the point of buying a separate sunscreen for my lips, instead of just using the same one I'm using on the rest of my body?' I am now using Badger sunscreen on my body and an SPF Moisturizer (Devita, which is wonderful and inexpensive!) on my face and lips, to great results.

I liked this product because it healed my cracked dried out lips and stayed on.Yes, it is bluish-white, thick and, in my book, not a lipstick moisturizerbut a sunscreen moisturizer that has staying power. I mix mine with lipstick, a dark color, and it makes a nice new light color and so I don't have a problem with the colorit has staying power and is needed in my super dry climate.Try it!

Buy Badger Sunblock For Face & Body Now

I'm all for natural ingredients and prefer physical (as opposed to chemical) sunscreens-even though you have to be especially careful of blending in the white residues that they have. I bought this because Badger has a good reputation for their sunscreens, but was disappointed that regardless of how patiently I rubbed in or how thin a layer of product I put on my lips-It was a chalky white mess. Not wearable.

Want Badger Sunblock For Face & Body Discount?

I ordered this product after watching Dr. Sanjay Gupta's segments on Sunday mornings on CNN. He suggested logging on to(Environmental Wellness Group), so I did. The site rated sunscreens from 0-10, 0 being safest and most effective and 10 being the most dangerous (in terms of active ingredients and lack of effectiveness). Based on EWG's recommendation, I went with the Badger Sunblock Lip Balm as well as the Badger Sunblock. The Badger Sunblock Lip Balm goes on smoothly, doesn't feel waxy, has a slight sheen but not glossy (so guys can use it too) and is flavorless. It also seems to stay on pretty well while I'm swimming (home swimming pool -haven't tried freshwater or saltwater swimming yet).
