Common questions

Is Badger Kids Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Natural Mineral Sunscreen Cream healthy?

Badger Kids Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Natural Mineral Sunscreen Cream scores 15/100 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. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

How processed is Badger Kids Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Natural Mineral Sunscreen Cream?
