Common questions

Is Badger Baby Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 40 Plastic Tube healthy?

Badger Baby Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 40 Plastic Tube scores 20/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Badger Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 40.
